Tips and Tricks from pracTical applicaTions<br />
Quick and Easy:<br />
Mounting Bolt-on Extensions<br />
to VÖGELE Extending Screeds<br />
All VÖGELE screeds can be built up using bolt-on extensions,<br />
tailoring them to any desired pave width. The VÖGELE<br />
system of bolt-on extensions allows quick and stable<br />
build-up of the screeds to meet the requirements of the<br />
contractors’ paving jobs. In this issue of Tips & Tricks,<br />
André Felchner demonstrates how easy it is to mount<br />
bolt-on extensions.<br />
andré felchner, Head of applications Technology at VÖGElE, Germany, provides “Tips & Tricks from practical<br />
applications”. He is an expert in both practical applications and paver technology and conveys his knowledge<br />
also in VÖGElE training courses and workshops to paving teams from all over the world.<br />

Day-to-day life on the job site rarely provides level<br />
ground conditions. However, a level surface is<br />
required for mounting bolt-on extensions. In order<br />
to compensate for unevenness, large pieces of<br />
square timber or pallets can be placed under the<br />
screed. Care must be taken that the flanges are<br />
clean, i. e. no asphalt sticking to them.<br />
TIP!<br />
Preparation<br />
Before mounting a bolt-on extension, the<br />
tamper shafts of both the screed’s extending<br />
unit and the bolt-on extension must be set<br />
so that the arrow on the coupling points at<br />
the gap in the gearwheel. (see photo).
