VÖGELE SUPER 1600-2 - The Advantages at a Glance
Innovative paver technology is not a matter of size. Take the tracked VÖGELE SUPER 1600-2 as an excellent example. As a member of the "dash-2" family, the SUPER 1600-2 gives a totally new definition of the technology nowadays found in mid-range pavers. Among the tracked machine's true highlights is ErgoPlus®, the VÖGELE concept for paver handling. Thanks to ErgoPlus®, operators have never had it so good in terms of simplicity and ease of operation. Operators enjoy a modern workplace of ergonomic design leaving nothing to be desired.
In the SUPER 1600-2, high-quality drive units are installed and sophisticated system solutions achieve top marks for efficiency and performance. Thanks to its compact size, the SUPER 1600-2 is ideal for a large variety of paving applications.

- Travel speed up to 4.5km/h
- Powerful PERKINS engine rated at 100 kW
- Comes with ErgoPlus®, the concept for easy paver handling
- Hardtop with wide sunshades
Economical Drive System
- Powerful PERKINS engine developing 100 kW at just 2,000 rpm. The low-noise engine stands out through high efficiency and eco-friendliness. It complies with the stringent requirements of exhaust standards COM 3a and EPA.
- Different speed ranges are available which select conveniently at the push of a button (MIN, ECO Mode, MAX).
- ECO Mode (95 kW at 1,800 rpm) is sufficient for many paving applications. Working in ECO Mode further decreases engine noise emission, reduces fuel consumption and wear.
- A constant pave speed is one of the crucial factors when it comes to achieving excellent pavement quality. Electronic engine management, installed in the SUPER 1600-2, ensures a consistent engine output to match demand.
- Engine throttle control helps save fuel as it automatically revs down your engine during a break in paving. When resuming work, engine rpm is reset automatically to the preset range (ECO Mode or MAX).
- Powerful three-phase A.C. generator with generator management controlling generator output in compliance with your pave width. Heating the screed’s compacting systems to operating temperature takes a short time only.
- Thanks to a large cooler assembly with innovative air routing, perfect cooling of engine cooling liquid, hydraulic oil and charge air. Noise emission is very low.
- A constantly high cooling capacity provides for ideal temperatures inside the hydraulic system and top performance of all drive units even when working under full load and at high ambient temperatures up to 50° C.
- For hydraulic functions, powerful separate drives are installed operating in closed circuits, thus delivering highest outputs. This way, the transfer gearbox translates engine power into hydraulic paver performance with excellent efficiency.
High Precision on Tracks
- Thanks to powerful separate drives fitted into the sprockets for crawler tracks, engine output is translated into pave speed with no loss of power.
- Long crawler tracks with large ground contact provide for maximum tractive effort, allowing the paver to get on well at a constant speed even when operating on difficult terrain.
- Positive tracking when moving straight and accurate turning of radii due to separate drive and electronic control provided for each crawler track.
Easy Feed with Mix
- Large oscillating push-rollers for convenient and shock-free docking of feed vehicles even when paver working on a bend.
- The large material hopper holding 13 tonnes is amply dimensioned so that a sufficient quantity of mix is stored at all times. No problem to tide over difficult situations such as paving under bridges, for instance.
- Thanks to a hydraulically operated hopper front (option), no spills of mix when feed lorries change. Directs the mix inside the material hopper right onto the conveyors, so no hand work with shovels required. The entirety of mix is properly conveyed in front of the screed.
Optimal Flow of Mix in Front of the Screed
- Powerful, separate hydraulic drives for conveyors and augers installed for high laydown rates up to 600 tonnes/h.
- Proportional control and continuous monitoring provided for conveyors and augers guarantee a constant head of mix in front of the screed in conformity with the requirement.
- Augers complete with bearing boxes and limiting plates for the auger tunnel are infinitely variable in height up to 20cm.
- Due to auger height adjustment, optimal spreading of the mix even when paving thin layers or on sections where layer thickness varies.
- Large diameter of auger blades (400mm) for excellent spreading of mix when paving in large widths.
- An auger tunnel, easily variable in depth, provides for an optimal flow of mix when paving thick layers.
Maintenance Made Easy
- A wide engine hood and large hinged panels give convenient access to service points on the machine.
- All hydraulic pumps attached to the transfer gearbox. Their clear arrangement and easy access provides for service-friendliness at the highest level.
- Centralized lubrication system installed to automatically supply required amounts of grease to bearings of conveyors and augers.
- Sturdy components of highly wear-resistant materials for long service lives minimize downtime.
- A uniform service concept for all VÖGELE pavers simplifies maintenance and cuts expenditure on training.
