VÖGELE present a new generation of pavers with their "dash 2" family. The design has been completely revised giving the machines a truly attractive outer appearance. The new pavers to be launched under the "-2" label come with a host of innovations and refined performance features. The most important innovation is "ErgoPlus", the new VÖGELE concept for handling SUPER pavers. SUPER 1900-2 and SUPER 2100-2 are the first machines to feature this new concept.

With SUPER 1900-2 and SUPER 2100-2 VÖGELE present powerful new generation pavers. Large pave widths and high laydown rates are the newcomers' domains. 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.

Superquiet

When designing the new "dash 2" generation, another focus was on reduction of noise emission. In addition to the engine's ECO Mode, a well-known feature installed in VÖGELE pavers for quiet operation, several other measures have been taken with the newcomers to further minimize noise levels. The generator, for instance, has been so located as to allow low-noise air intake. Sound-insulated side panels made of glass fibre reinforced polymer material, too, add to the new pavers' low noise emissions.

Feed with mix made easy

For road pavers of this performance class, efficient transfer and conveyance of mix are vital criterions. SUPER 1900-2 and SUPER 2100-2 show 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 paver. A hydraulic hopper front available as an option helps keep the job clean as there is no more spilling. Furthermore, this feature offers the even greater 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.

Augers adjustable in height across
the full pave width

SUPER 1900-2 and SUPER 2100-2 allow to adjust augers in height across the full pave width complete with 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. And, for moving the paver on the job site to continue work elsewhere, there is no need to demount auger extensions and bracings, a benefit that saves time and money.

With the new generation pavers of the "dash 2" family VÖGELE also present "ErgoPlus", the new concept for paver handling. This concept encompasses five major innovations: an ergonomically designed operator platform, modern operator control desk and lateral consoles on the screed to match, the new NIVELTRONIC® Plus system for automated grade and slope control and a well-thought-out service concept. The ergonomically designed platform allows the operator to set up his workplace as comfortably as possible.

The control desk can be adjusted to the height he wants and tilted. Thanks to "ErgoPlus", he can operate his machine intuitively. Push-buttons on the operator's control desk are clustered into groups according to job site requirements. On the left-hand side are vital controls for conveyors and augers, in the middle push-buttons for the screed and on the right-hand side controls for material hopper and steering. From his seat, the operator has an excellent view of all hot spots on the paver. A striking feature of "ErgoPlus" is the yellow hardtop of glass fibre reinforced polymer material. Not only does it look good, it gives optimum shelter to the operator whether rain or shine.
