Compact design opens up a wide range of applications

The design concept of VÖGELE's new economical compact class makes the wheeled and tracked pavers perfectly suited to use on smaller roadways and minor areas or for surfacing farm tracks, foot paths or cycle paths. Due to their compact size, they also are ideal for inner-city applications and wherever spaces are confined. Given the pavers' lengths of 4.95m and widths of just 1.85m, there are hardly any alleyways too narrow for access. Thanks to their quiet operation and eco-friendliness, the use in residential areas, too, is a domain of the newcomers. Though of compact design, all 4 new SUPER pavers display typical VÖGELE characteristics. Among these are precise steering and manoeuvring, clean feed with asphalt and finely regulated conveyance and spreading of mix.

It began in Autumn 2005. With the large SUPER 1900-2 and SUPER 2100-2 models, VÖGELE presented their new paver concept identifiable by the "dash 2" at the end of the type names. The new pavers are focussed on two basic aspects: economical efficiency and user-friendliness.

Equipped with modern engines, the new generation SUPER models are particularly efficient. Above all, highly reliable and powerful paver systems and options provide for optimized execution of road building contracts. Based on an identical and easily comprehensible way of paver handling, training requirements are reduced. Maintenance, too, has been simplified further.

Users welcomed the "dash 2" paver generation with enthusiasm. One reason often mentioned in this context is ErgoPlus, the new concept for easy and highly intuitive paver handling. ErgoPlus also provides for an excellent all-round view of both the job site and the paver.

SUPER 1100-2, SUPER 1103-2, SUPER 1300-2 and SUPER 1303-2 in the new compact equiment class are the members 7 to 10 joining the "dash 2" paver family. And progress goes on.

Easy feed with mix

Though of compact design, the new SUPER pavers never compromise when it comes to feed with mix. 10 tonnes can be dumped by feed vehicles into their material hoppers and oscillating push-rollers provide for smooth docking. Further conveyance and spreading of the mix is optimal thanks to a large conveyor tunnel, proportional control of conveyors and powerful augers.

Laydown rates up to 350 tonnes per hour

As a result, the new VÖGELE pavers achieve high laydown rates. The larger tracked SUPER 1300-2 yields 350 tonnes/h and the smaller SUPER 1100-2 a remarkable 300 tonnes/h. The laydown rates achieved by the two wheeled pavers are excellent, too: 250 tonnes/h for SUPER 1302-2 and 180 tonnes/h for SUPER 1103-2. These are outstanding values in this performance class. When paving along obstacles such as walls, the hopper side concerned can be folded in at the push of a button in order not to impede the flow of mix.

Perfect conveyance and spreading of mix

Like all pavers of the "dash 2" generation, the newcomers, too, feature separate drive and proportional control for each conveyor and each auger. In other words, conveyors and augers are capable of tansporting and spreading mix in a way to precisely match the requirement. Depending on the mode selected, this takes place fully automatically, permitting the operator to focus his attention on other essentials of the paving process.

Efficient routing of cooling air

Machine components, if not cooled, heat up during operation so that overheating of systems may result which cuts service life considerably. This is a fact irrespective of the paver's field of applications. In order to prevent overheating, efficient cooling is of utmost importance above all when working in hot regions or at high altitude. All the more so, as even the pavers in the compact class achieve high laydown rates, indeed. This is why the new SUPER pavers feature highly effective cooling, with the components to be cooled located in an area optimally protected against overheating. This way, paving at ambient temperatures up to 50° C does not pose any problem at all. Like in all VÖGELE pavers, cooling air is taken in by a large cooler assembly installed in the machine's lateral area and routed to paver systems. Eduction of hot air is upwards to the outside.

Memory feature stores paving data

For high efficiency while paving, a "Memory" feature is installed storing all settings for paver functions prior to a break in paving. When resuming work, these settings are retrieved automatically, so no need to make settings anew. This intelligent functionality has a tradition in VÖGELE pavers. The feature had been introduced in earlier SUPER models, where it was known as "Smart Switch" and provided for easy resuming of work after a move of the paver on the job site or on the next day. The "Smart Switch", much apprcíated by paver operators from the very beginning, has also been adopted in the new "dash 2" paver generation under the name of "Memory" feature. The feature stores paver settings and operating mode selected, thus allowing to resume work at the push of a button.

VÖGELE service concept leaves no questions unanswered

As with the previous "dash 2" pavers, VÖGELE also implemented their user-friendly concept for servicing and maintenance in the new SUPER 1100-2, SUPER 1103-2, SUPER 1300-2 and SUPER 1303-2 models. Equipped with a wide engine hood and large hinged covers and panels, easy access is provided to all service points. So no problem for service staff to quickly see how matters stand. Furthermore, all hydraulic pumps are attached to the transfer gearbox. Their clear arrangement and convenient acess provide for service-friendliness at the highest level. A centralized lubrication system automatically supplies bearings of conveyors and augers with the required amounts of grease. All in all, the identical service concept implemented in all VÖGELE "dash 2" generation pavers facilitates maintenance and saves training costs.

Neutral (Symbol "N")

For warming up the engine and the screed heating system. With this mode selected, all drives are deactivated.

Job Site Mode (Symbol "Rabbit")

For moving the paver on the job site. The paver can be driven at travel speed.

Tracked paver for pave widths up to 4.5m

The tracked SUPER 1300-2 features compact design but high performance, which is close to pavers in the mid range. In the paver, an economical but powerful DEUTZ engine is installed rated at 65kW, allowing the SUPER 1300-2 to achieve laydown rates up to 350 tonnes/h and pave in widths up to 4.5m. This is a performance exceptional in the paver's class. For jobs not requiring the full engine output, ECO Mode is available delivering 58kW at 1,800 rpm.

Wide range of pave widths

The SUPER 1300-2's range of applications is extended by cut-off shoes for pave width reduction, allowing jobs to be handled down to 0.75m. Even smallest tasks which so far used to be done manually, can now be carried out with the machine. As to the other end of the scale, the paver comes with sufficient power to perfectly manage even medium-size tasks. In order to ensure a smooth and clean feed of the paver with mix by supply vehicles, a useful feature is available as an optional extra: a hydraulically operated hopper front avoids spills when feed lorries change and provides for complete emptying of the material hopper, so no manual work with shovels required.

ErgoPlus for intuitive paver handling

Like all pavers in the new VÖGELE compact equipment class, SUPER 1300-2 comes with ErgoPlus, the concept for easy and intuitive paver handling. ErgoPlus includes a hardtop of glass fibre reinforced polymer material folding down for transport with effortless ease. With SUPER 1300-2, sunshades fitted to the hardtop can be extended on the left and right-hand sides for optimal operator protection whether rain or shine, even when his seat is swivelled outwards.

Compact design but high performance

The degree of precompaction achieved by the new SUPER 1300-2 with the AB 340 Extending Screed in TV version is excellent. Equipped with tamper and vibrators, the screed creates best conditions for impeccable pavement results. The AB 340 Extending Screed has a basic width of 1.8m and extends hydraulically up to 3.4m. SUPER 1300-2 handles a maximum pave width of 4.5m.

Most powerful wheeled paver in the compact class

The performance of the wheeled SUPER 1303-2 is almost on a par with that of the tracked SUPER 1300-2 model. The wheeled paver comes with a powerful engine delivering 65kW at 2,300 rpm. In the economical ECO Mode, the output still is 58kW at 1,800 rpm. The fuel tank installed in the SUPER 1303-2 holds 105 litres, enough for paving pretty long sections. With the 4 front wheels mounted on bogies, the paver passes over irregularities in the base without ever losing contact with the ground. This provides for maximum tractive effort.

Wheeled undercarriage for high mobility

Mounted on wheels, SUPER 1303-2 manoeuvres easily on the job site and travels quickly from one section to another. The travel speed of 20km/h allows to rapidly cover short distances on public roads. For transfer, the paver comes with a "Road Travel" mode. For SUPER 1303-2, working in confined spaces poses no problem at all thanks to its small turning radius of 4.8m, a feature facilitating paving not only in urban areas. Due to the paver's wheels mounted on bogies and fitted to an oscillating axle, irregularities in the base are compensated in both longitudinal and transverse directions. As a result, the wheels keep in permanent contact with the ground, thus ensuring an excellent tractive effort at all times.

ErgoPlus for user-friendly operation

The new compact paver's steering, via steering wheel, features a highly sensitive response. Moreover, the new ErgoPlus concept for paver operation with push-buttons provides for user-friendly handling. ErgoPlus also gives an excellent all-round view of the paver, allowing operators to closely monitor the feed with mix and all that is going on on the job site. For SUPER 1303-2, a hydraulically operated hopper front is available as an optional extra, a useful feature for clean feed of the paver with mix and complete emptying of the material hopper.

Pave widths up to 4.2m

SUPER 1303-2 combines with the AB 340 Extending Screed featuring a basic width of 1.8m and extending hydraulically up to 3.4m. The paver handles a maximum pave width of 4.2m. For SUPER 1303-2, like for its tracked counterpart, the AB 340 Extending Screed is equipped with tamper and vibrators.

The compact-size and economical tracked paver

In terms of performance, the SUPER 1100-2 is designed for somewhat smaller jobs than SUPER 1300-2. Nevertheless, the range of applications handled by the tracked paver is remarkable. SUPER 1100-2 is ideally suited to new construction or reinstatement of combined footpaths and cycle paths, farm tracks, inner-city applications and beyond.

Economical and quiet

The modern DEUTZ engine rated at 56kW stands out through efficiency and quiet running. For even higher economy, ECO Mode is available, which reduces exhaust emission and noise levels further, while delivering sufficient power for the majority of paving applications. In addition, it minimizes wear. Combined with the AB 340 Extending Screed in V version with vibrators, SUPER 1100-2 handles a maximum pave width of 4.2m, a performance furnishing excellent proof of the paver's highly efficient engine concept. Like all VÖGELE screeds, the new AB 340, too, comes with electric heating. Thanks to a powerful three-phase A.C. generator with Generator Management controlling electric power output as a function of pave width, it takes a short time only for the screed to reach operating temperature.

New AB 340 Extending Screed with vibrators

As a perfect match for the SUPER 1100-2, VÖGELE offer their new AB 340 Extending Screed in V version with vibrators. Thanks to the large material hopper holding 10 tonnes and powerful material conveying and spreading systems installed in the paver, laydown rates up to 300 tonnes per hour can be achieved. Combined with the AB 340 Extending Screed featuring a basic width of 1.8m and an infinitely variable range between 1.8m and 3.4m, the tracked SUPER 1100-2 achieves a maximum pave width of 4.2m.

Economical wheeled paver featuring high mobility

The "small" wheeled model in the new compact equipment class of SUPER pavers was designed with economical and variable paving in mind. Like its tracked counterpart, SUPER 1103-2, too, is powered by a modern DEUTZ engine rated at 56kW, featuring very low noise levels. Mounted on wheels for high mobility, the new SUPER paver quickly travels at 20km/h on public roads or swiftly moves on the job site from one section to another.

Laydown rate up to 200 tonnes/h

As is typical of wheeled VÖGELE pavers, SUPER 1103-2 boasts excellent mobility and manoeuvrability. In addition, the newcomer possesses all those features which are VÖGELE characteristics, too. Among them is the material handling system perfectly designed to match the paver's class. From the material hopper holding 10 tonnes, conveyors and augers, for which proportional control is provided, transfer and spread the mix in front of the AB 340 Extending Screed. The screed handles pave widths up to 4.2m, a remarkable performance given the paver's compact design. SUPER 1103-2, too, comes with a three-phase A.C. generator to supply electric power for screed heating. Thanks to the perfected machine design, laydown rates up to 200 tonnes/h can be achieved.

Travel on public roads

Mounted on wheels, SUPER 1103-2 quickly moves between sections on the building site or swiftly travels on public roads from one job to another. With its small turning radius of 4.8m, the paver easily manoeuvres in confined spaces, tight bends or narrow alleys. Even on an irregular base, the SUPER 1103-2 never loses contact with the ground due to its wheels mounted on bogies. With the undercarriage oscillating in both longitudinal and transverse directions, irregularities in the base are perfectly compensated ensuring an excellent tractive effort.
