VÖGELE VISION 5203-2 - The Advantages at a Glance

The Most Innovative Paver Technology

Paver operators agree the new VÖGELE paver includes outstanding features. The super quiet VISION 5203-2 comes with ErgoPlus®, the revolutionary concept for easy paver operation. ErgoPlus® simplifies the operators’ work and provides comfort and simplicity. ErgoPlus® also offers unobstructed operator visibility of material hopper, screed and auger tunnel. The VISION series pavers are extremely cool and quiet during operation. Just look at it!

A number of different drive options (6 x 2, 6 x 4 and 6 x 6) are available for VISION 5203-2, allowing the paver to reach unsurpassed versatility. To high versatility also adds the paver‘s small turning radius, permitting easy and quick maneuvering even in tight corners.

Powerful and Efficient Drivetrain

Powerful 6-cylinder CUMMINS engine provides 240 h.p. at 2,000 rpm. Ideal weight-to-horsepower ratio of 164 lbs./h.p.
Three engine speed ranges are available which select conveniently at the push of a button (MIN, ECO, MAX).
ECO Mode at 1,800 rpm provides lowest noise level and least fuel consumption. ECO Mode is sufficient for most paving applications.
Self-diagnostics and sensors for all engine vitals eliminate daily checks. Simply put, the engine is daily maintenance-free.
Innovative engine exhaust system including fumes evacuation that reduces noise levels. No exhaust stacks in front of the operator.
Powerful three-phase A.C. generator. Generator output in compliance with your paving requirements.
Large cooler assembly with innovative air routing provides perfect temperature control of engine cooling liquid,
hydraulic oil and charge air. Noise emission is very low.
A 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 (WAT World Ambient Temperature design).
106 Gallon fuel tank provides more than enough for a day’s work.

Traction and Precision Drive on Wheels

Small turning radius (outside) of just 23 ft. 9 in. allows easy and quick maneuvering even in tight corners.
Maximum power and torque from hydrostatic drives. Separate hydraulic drives are provided for each of the rear wheels. Two or four powered front wheels are available as options.
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

The large material hopper holds 240 cubic feet and is dimensioned so that plenty of mix is stored at all times. Two cylinders per side provide smooth operation.
Sloped inner design of material hopper provides for optimal flow of mix to avoid segregation.
Hassle-free truck discharge due to low material hopper (dump height 24 in.), wide hopper wings and sturdy rubber flashing fitted to the hopper apron.
Large push-rollers can be set to 3 different positions for convenient and shock-free docking of trucks.
Independently operated hopper wings.
The hydraulically operated hopper apron (optional) prevents material spills during truck exchanges. It directs the material inside the material hopper directly onto the conveyors, so no hand work is required. All of the mix is properly conveyed to the screed.

Perfect Material Delivery Avoids Segregation

Powerful, individual (closed loop) hydraulic drives for conveyors and augers are provided for achieving high
laydown rates and optimal material handling.
Proportional control and continuous monitoring of conveyors and augers guarantee a constant head of material in front of the screed.
Inclined conveyors from the front to the rear of the machine provide ideal delivery of the mix to the augers.
Hydraulically adjustable augers are infinitely variable in height within a range of 6 inches.
Hydraulic auger height adjustment (including bearing boxes and limiting plates for the auger tunnel) provides optimal spreading of the material even when paving thin layers or on sections where thickness varies.
Large 16 in. diameter auger flights with precision pitch provide excellent spreading of the material when paving in large widths or lower engine rpm. VÖGELE’s unique flight design provides extended wear versus standard flight designs.
Very narrow conveyor housing in the material hopper provides uniform flow of mix.

Daily Maintenance-free Paver

Daily maintenance-free paver with auto-conveyor tensioning. The automatic lubrication system (optional) is designed to provide the required amounts of grease to the conveyor and auger bearings for optimal performance.
Automatic chain tensioning system for conveyors reduces maintenance and maximizes component life.
Full length side doors, raised engine hood and two maintenance openings from the operator’s platform allow for easy access to all components.
Hydraulic pumps are neatly arranged on the transfer gearbox with sufficient clearance to allow for easy service access. The system is equipped with all necessary test ports for service and troubleshooting.
A uniform service concept for all VÖGELE pavers simplifies maintenance and reduces training costs.
