iNNOVATIVE SCREED TECHNOLOGY<br />
In addition to the tractor units, Vögele has also elevated its screed<br />
technology to the next level and developed the new AB 500 and<br />
AB 600 extending screeds. They are ideal for all applications that<br />
call for variability and adaptability. With their infinitely adjustable<br />
single-tube telescoping system, these screeds cover a virtually<br />
unlimited spectrum of applications with pave widths ranging from<br />
2.55 to 9.5 metres.<br />
Furthermore, Joseph Vögele AG is also presenting two new<br />
extending screeds at bauma 2013 that are aimed specifically at<br />
the needs of the North American market and the VISION pavers.<br />
The VF 500 (extending units are located in front of the basic<br />
screed, see Page 25) and VR 600 (extending units are located<br />
behind the basic screed) guarantee perfect paving results thanks<br />
to highly advanced screed technology.<br />
• Tamper bar: The tamper geometry has been optimized,<br />
resulting in a flat screed planing angle. This ensures a<br />
longer service life and even better compaction and<br />
evenness.<br />
• Hydraulic crown adjustment: This function is integrated in<br />
the screed operator’s console as standard. The crown is<br />
adjusted quickly and precisely via push buttons. The<br />
current crown is displayed on both screed operator’s<br />
consoles.<br />
• Screed heating: Extremely uniform heating of the screed<br />
plates, tamper bar and pressure bar yields an absolutely<br />
uniform surface. The preheating time has been markedly<br />
reduced. An economical Alternating Mode operates when<br />
the paver functions are set to automatic.<br />
• Improved telescoping system: This allows better sliding<br />
properties and at the same time a longer service life.<br />
• Hydraulically height-adjustable end plates: The alternative<br />
to mechanical end plates has been newly designed and<br />
equipped with completely integrated valve technology. The<br />
height is adjusted easily, safely and precisely.<br />
