Since its launch into the market over a year ago, the SUPER 1800-2 with SprayJet Module in its standard version for pave widths up to 5m and equipped with an emulsion tank holding 2,000 litres has performed excellently in many countries.

Extra tank holding 5,000 litres, 6m pave width

Now an extra emulsion tank is available as an option for contracts requiring very large rates of spread. The extra tank holds 5,000 litres, so that a total of 7,000 litres of bitumen emulsion can be carried on board the paver. The extra tank is accommodated in the paver’s material hopper.

On such applications, supply of the paver with mix is by the MT 1000-1 Mobile Feeder transferring the material, via a receiving bin in the extra tank, right onto the paver’s conveyors. A stand-alone heating unit operated by diesel fuel and featuring a heating capacity of 30kW is installed in the extra tank, thus keeping the emulsion at the desired temperature. Furthermore, the extra tank comes with its own pump circulating the emulsion and maintaining it in a highly homogeneous state. If the emulsion level in the standard tank drops below 1,000 litres, emulsion is automatically delivered from the extra tank into the standard tank.

Also new for the SUPER 1800-2 with SprayJet Module are spray bars for pave widths up to 6m as another option. For 6-metre applications, the lateral spray bars are longer and fitted with two additional spray nozzles, so that a total of 24 nozzles are equipped for spraying. Combined with a VÖGELE AB 600-2 Extending Screed or an AB 500-2 with bolt-on extensions, the spray paver is capable of easily handling pave widths up to 6m.
