With the SUPER 1900-2 and SUPER 2100-2 pavers, Mannheim-based German manufacturer JOSEPH VÖGELE AG launches a new and particularly powerful generation of road construction equipment. The new pavers, featuring a stylish product design, come with a host of technical innovations. „ErgoPlus“, the new concept for paver handling, is a particular highlight in the focus of this product presentation.

Large pave widths, high laydown rates

Paving large quantities of mix in large widths, this is the domain of both pavers. SUPER 1900-2 is ideal when it comes to paving large traffic areas, highways or racing circuits. SUPER 2100-2 is the one for large-scale contracts such as motorway construction, where tough continuous operation is a capability that counts.

The two new machines are capable of handling larger pave widths com-pared to the preceding models: up to 11m are possible with SUPER 1900-2 and up to 13m with SUPER 2100-2. The tractor units combine with the SB 250 Fixed-Width Screed and with AB 500-2 and AB 600 Extending Screeds. In addition to tamper and vibrators, VÖGELE offer High Compaction Tech-nology for these screeds, with 1 or 2 pressure bars. Both pavers are capable of handling a maximum layer thickness of 30cm. SUPER 1900-2 and SUPER 2100-2 are designed for pave speeds up to 25m/min.

The overall concept and primarily the systems for conveyance and spreading of mix are so dimensioned as to easily cope with the large pave widths the two new pavers offer to users. A fact reflected by impressive laydown rates coming up to 900 t/h for SUPER 1900-2 and 1,100 t/h for SUPER 2100-2.

As a matter of course electric screed heating, typical of VÖGELE pavers, is equipped as standard in the new machines, too. The electrical system provides for quick and uniform heating of the screed’s compacting systems to operating temperature, thus creating optimal conditions for high pavement quality.

Feed with mix and storage capacity

For road pavers of this performance class, efficient transfer and conveyance of mix are vital criterions. SUPER 1900-2 and SUPER 2100-2 display their strong points already when feeding mix into the material hopper holding 14 tonnes: extra wide push-rollers make it easy for the drivers of feed lorries to dock with the pavers.

A hydraulic hopper front available as an option helps keep the job clean as there is no spilling of mix. Furthermore, this feature offers the benefit of directing the mix inside the material hopper right onto the conveyors. Spills of the past which used to require some hand work with shovels are also positively avoided. All in all, this adds to mix quality as asphalt is conveyed in front of the screed at a consistent temperature. In both new pavers, proportional control is installed for conveyors and augers, which provides for a head of mix in front of the screed in precise keeping with requirements, thus ensuring excellent paving results.

Augers adjustable in height across the full pave width

SUPER 1900-2 and SUPER 2100-2 allow to adjust augers (with auger blade diametres of 400mm or 480mm) in height across the full pave width complete with auger bearing boxes and limiting plates for the auger tunnel, either mechanically or hydraulically as an option. The advantage to users is optimal spreading of mix in front of the screed even when paving thin layers. As an extra benefit: prior to a move of the paver on site to continue work elsewhere, there is no need to demount auger extensions or bracings, a benefit that saves time and money.

The drive concept: powerful, economical, low noise

Powerful and economical, these are the main characteristics of the DEUTZ diesel engines installed in the new SUPER 1900-2 and SUPER 2100-2 pavers. Engines deliver full outputs of 142 kW or 182 kW at just 2,000 rpm. They stand out through low noise levels and low exhaust emissions. So no problem to comply with exhaust emissions standards COM 3a und EPA 3 (US). In order to be able to meet these highly eco-friendly standards, common-rail fuel injection and internal exhaust recirculation are installed. The two new pavers reach high maximum pave speeds of 25m/min. With ECO Mode selected, engines run at just 1,800 or 1,700 rpm, which cuts operating cost and supports low-noise paving.

A large cooler assembly with innovative air routing keeps engine cooling liquid, hydraulic oil and charge air at ideal temperatures. Thanks to excellent cooling, full engine performance is guaranteed at all times and best conditions exist for longevity.

„ErgoPlus“, the comfortable concept for paver handling

The SUPER 1900-2 and SUPER 2100-2 pavers come with „ErgoPlus“, a new concept for paver handling conceived by VÖGELE. The comfortable paver platform provides to the operator an optimum view, from his seat, of all hot spots on and around the paver such as material hopper, auger tunnel or screed. The operator’s control desk is ergonomically designed and, by sliding across the full width of the platform and tilting, allows him to set up his workplace in keeping with his personal needs. It can also be swivelled out together with the operator’s seat.

On the operator’s console, paver functions are clustered into groups according to job site requirements. Paver functions are operated by push-buttons easily identifiable by touch. „ErgoPlus“ stands out through a clearly laid out design allowing operation to be learned very quickly. VÖGELE NIVELTRONIC® Plus, too, features absolutely easy and faultless handling. With NIVELTRONIC® Plus activated, users find all major functions and data right on level 1 of the display.

Transport und servicing made easy

SUPER 1900-2 and SUPER 2100-2 come with a modern hardtop of glass fibre reinforced polymer material. It protects the operator whether rain or shine. Via a manually operated hydraulic pump, the hardtop can be folded down, thus getting the paver ready for transport quickly and with effortless ease. VÖGELE have for many years attached great importance to easy servicing of their pavers. The two new machines, too, set a new benchmark in this respect and offer a lot of comfort. Large hinged panels on SUPER 1900-2 and SUPER 2100-2 give free access to service points. All hydraulic pumps are attached to the transfer gearbox, so that their clear arrangement and easy access provides for service-friendliness at the highest level. The same clear arrangement characterizes the power module, including all valves and flexible tubing. Measuring points, conveniently accessible, make life easy when it comes to diagnostics, and the centralized VÖGELE lubrication system, installed as standard in the new pavers, provides that grease is supplied automatically to bearings of conveyors and augers, highly reliably and by demand.
