VOEGELE MT 3000-2 – The Advantages at a Glance

High Performance – Due to Cutting-Edge Machine Technology

The new MT 3000-2 is a member of the innovative and brand new PowerFeeder generation from VÖGELE.

When developing the PowerFeeder generation, a special focus was placed on high-performance and precise handling of most varied mixes. Other materials can thus also be conveyed in addition to asphalt, such as topsoil, gravel, water-bound base course mixes or recycled materials.

The cutting-edge technology, high reliability and maximum user-friendliness are the hallmarks of the new PowerFeeder MT 3000-2 from VÖGELE and it is these virtues which add up to make it the perfect partner for every professional road construction company.

ErgoPlus® Operating System

Direct access to all feeder-related functions by push-buttons.
The "Automatic Conveying" function activates all conveying systems with inter-coordinated speeds at the push of a button.
Hardtop made of glass fibre reinforced polymer material with wide sunshades and windscreen.
ErgoPlus® allows perfect machine operation with maximum visibility. The operators' seats are adjustable.
One-man operation for economical utilization by large and medium-sized construction companies.

Machine Technology

Powerful, economical DEUTZ engine rated at 160kW, with ECO Mode. The ultra-modern engine fulfils the exhaust gas emissions standards COM 3b and US Tier 4i.
Fuel tank holding 380 litres allows the machine to operate for a whole workday without a need for refuelling.
Crawler tracks for high tractive effort allow pave speeds up to 24m/min.
Advanced distance control and anti-collision protection.

Material Conveying Concept

Large receiving hopper holding 11 tonnes.
Proportionally controlled worm conveyors with large worm blades (400mm) for homogeneous conveyance of mix, without residues.
1.1m wide conveyor capable of transferring up to 1,200 tonnes of mix per hour.
The belt of the conveyor is extremely robust and long-lasting as it is an industrially manufactured endless belt.
The trough shape (30°) of the conveyor belt provides for a clean flow of mix during transfer, with no spills.
Guidance of the conveyor belt via tensioning cylinders guarantees a correctly centred alignment of the belt. A smart automatic system adjusts the belt tension as required.
For perfect material management, a newly developed diesel heating system provides for a good belt temperature to prevent mix sticking to the conveyor belt.

Rapid Transfer of Mix Enhances Process Safety

In large-scale road construction projects such as motorway construction or rehabilitation, non-stop supply of the paver with mix and continuous paving are crucial. For only then can daily laydown rates of 4,000t and more be achieved. If the interval for changing the lorries that supply the feeder with mix is too long, a bottleneck ensues, reducing the actually achievable laydown rate and impeding job-site logistics. This is why VÖGELE have designed the new PowerFeeder generation for maximum performance.

Thanks to the concept of the PowerFeeder MT 3000-2, it is possible to empty even large mix lorries in one go. The process of emptying a lorry containing 25t of mix unfolds in a breathtaking 60 seconds. The new VÖGELE PowerFeeder thus speeds up job-site logistics considerably, as the lorry drivers have more time for the process-critical manœuvring.

Total mix storage capacity up to 40 tonnes

If the total mix storage capacity in the complete system is taken into account, including the paver's conveyors and auger tunnel, then the VÖGELE system reaches a total storage capacity up to 40 tonnes of mix.
