VÖGELE VISION 5103-2 - The Advantages at a Glance

The Most Innovative Paver Technology

The wheeled VÖGELE VISION 5103-2 is a cutting-edge 8-foot class paver suitable for a wide variety of applications. Typical jobs are secondary roads and highways. Due to its compact design, the wheeled paver is also ideal for commercial and municipal applications. With drive options (6 x 2 and 6 x 4), the VISION 5103-2 is a versatile machine. The wheeled paver features plenty of power and high mobility to handle the most varied paving jobs, even in confined spaces.

The super quiet VISION 5103-2 comes with ErgoPlus®, the revolutionary concept for easy paver operation. ErgoPlus® simplifies the operators’ work and provides comfort and simplicity. ErgoPlus® offers unobstructed operator visibility of material hopper, auger tunnel and screed. The VISION Series pavers are extremely cool and quiet during operation. Just look at it!

Powerful and Efficient Drivetrain

Powerful 6-cylinder CUMMINS engine provides 170 h.p. at 2,000 rpm. Ideal weight-to-horsepower ratio.
Three engine speed ranges are available which are selected conveniently at the push of a button (MIN, ECO, MAX).
A “smart“ memory feature stores the most recent settings for paver functions. When resuming work after moving the paver, these settings are automatically retrieved at the push of a button for consistent pavement quality.
ECO Mode at 1,800 rpm provides low noise levels and low fuel consumption. ECO Mode is sufficient for most paving applications.
Unique engine exhaust system includes fumes evacuation.
Powerful three-phase A.C. generator. Low-maintenance generator directly driven by the pump drive gearbox.
Large cooler assembly with innovative air flow provides perfect temperature control of engine coolant
and hydraulic oil as well as a low emission level.
A high cooling capacity maintains an ideal temperature inside the hydraulic system and top performance of all drive units even when working under full load and at high ambient temperatures (WAT World Ambient Temperature design).
60 gal. fuel tank provides more than enough capacity for a day’s work.

Traction and Precision Drive on Wheels

Small turning radius (outside) of just 21 ft. 8 in. allows easy and quick maneuvering.
Maximum power and torque from hydrostatic drives. Separate hydraulic drives are provided for each of the rear wheels (closed-loop system). Two powered front wheels are available as an option.
Electronic Traction Management ensures optimum tractive effort and protects the engine against overload.
Permanent ground contact of front wheels with pivoting bogies.
Travel speed of 12 mph allows the paver to maneuver quickly on the job site.

Extra Large Material Hopper and Easy Material Feed

Large material hopper holds 190 cubic feet (12 tons).
Sloped inner design of the hopper for an optimal flow of mix to avoid segregation.
Hassle-free truck exchange due to 24 in. dump height, wide hopper wings and sturdy rubber flashing.
Large push-rollers can be set to 2 different positions.
Independently operated hopper wings.
Hydraulically operated hopper apron (option) prevents material spills during truck exchanges, so no hand work is required.

Perfect Material Delivery Avoids Segregation

Powerful, individual hydraulic drives for conveyors and augers are installed for high laydown rates and optimal material handling.
Proportional control and continuous monitoring of conveyors and augers guarantees a constant head of material.
Inclined conveyors provide ideal delivery of the mix onto the augers.
Hydraulically adjustable augers are infinitely variable in height within a range of 6 inches.
Large 16 in. diameter auger flights with precision pitch provide excellent spreading of the material.
VÖGELE’s unique long-life flight design and high-alloy nickel steel provides low operating cost.
Narrow conveyor chain guards provide a uniform flow of mix.

Easy Servicing

Automatic lubrication system (option) is designed to supply the required amounts of grease to the conveyor and auger bearings for optimal performance.
Full-length side doors, a raised engine hood and two maintenance openings on the operator platform give easy access to all paver components.
Hydraulic pumps are neatly arranged with sufficient clearance for easy service access.
The hydraulic system is equipped with all necessary test ports for service and troubleshooting.
High level of commonality among all VÖGELE pavers simplifies maintenance and reduces training costs.
