On the Forum's first evening, VÖGELE really managed to get
their international guests in the right mood for the next day's
schedule. A welcoming evening event highlighted in a
multimedia laser show the company's history and the
milestones throughout its long years' existence as one of
Germany's oldest industrial firms. In a relaxed atmosphere both
Forum attendants and VÖGELE organizers and staff enjoyed
the evening as everybody could see.

After a warm welcome extended to Technology Forum guests by Bernhard Düser, Member of the VÖGELE Board (far left), and introductory
words by Roland Schug, Marketing Director, VÖGELE kicked off the evening's event with a laser show to get their international guests in
the right mood for the next day's schedule.

|

A delicious dinner was laid on. And the world première of the new SUPER 600 and SUPER 800 pavers, solemnly unveiled on that day,
supplied a main topic for conversation.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| |
The visitors from all over the world enjoyed the evening, which could be read in their faces. But also the organizers of the event together
with Bernhard Düser and Dr. Christian Pawlik, Members of the VÖGELE Board, and Roland Schug, Marketing Director (middle), had every
reason to be happy with the great start of the Forum. Stefan Wirtgen (far right) was glad to see many familiar faces.

Large demonstration of WIRTGEN Group machinery
|
|
| |
Not only the two VÖGELE newcomers but large WIRTGEN
Group machinery, too, gave a live performance. A WIRTGEN
W 2100 milling machine, a VÖGELE SUPER 1800-1 paver and
HAMM DV 70 and DV 90 rollers demonstrated in an impressive
show and very close to real job site conditions replacement of a
top pavement layer. The focus of this demonstration was on
VÖGELE High Compaction Technology. Forum attendants
received in-depth information about the technology's method of
operation and its various advantages, and many a helpful tip was
given for practical use in day-to-day business.

PCC: Innovations in concrete pavement construction
|
|
| |
An invited paper entitled "Innovations in Concrete Pavement
Construction" gave a detailed insight into the latest technological
developments and outlined the trends in concrete paving with
road pavers. When it comes to PCC paving (Paver Compacted
Concrete), it is the screed that plays the crucial role. The screed
is required to produce a high-quality pavement surface and a
high density. The VÖGELE SB 250 B High Compaction Screed
in TVP2 version equipped with tamper, vibrators and 2 pressure
bars makes PCC paving an easy and economical job for roads,
areas exposed to high loads or agricultural tracks.

Live demonstration of "-1" generation pavers
|
|
| |
The modern "-1" paver generation, of which we are proud to say
that a VÖGELE client took delivery of the 500th unit a short time
ago, was represented by a SUPER 1803-1. The machine
demonstrated the excellent manoeuvrability of wheeled
VÖGELE pavers. In their classes, all "-1" generation pavers
stand out through an optimum in terms of price, performance,
reliability and economical operating efficiency.

|
|

After the top layer had been milled off by a large WIRTGEN W 2100 milling machine, Rolf Weibel, VÖGELE Sales Manager for the Middle
East, gave an in-depth explanation of how High Compaction Technology works. After that the visitors convinced themselves of the
VÖGELE pavers' performance. For final compaction, two HAMM DV 70 and DV 90 rollers with oscillation were on the scene.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| |
The live demonstration of the ultimate in VÖGELE technology for grade and slope control and navigation was presented by
Hartmut Schott, VÖGELE Sales Manager for Eastern Europe. Method of operation and fields of applications for RoadScan,
Laser Receiver and NAVITRONIC® were shown and explained in detail.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| |
Parallel to its various live demonstrations, the Technology Forum offered to attendants invited papers and an exhibition of machinery
on the open-air grounds to gather information about the latest developments in paver technology and future trends.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Modern systems for grade and slope control
and navigation
|
|
| |
Another live demonstration displayed the know-how inherent in
VÖGELE systems for grade and slope control and navigation.
RoadScan, 360° Laser Receiver and NAVITRONIC® furnished
proof of their excellence in practical operation. In his paper,
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Henning Jürgen Meyer from the Technical
University of Berlin gave an insight into the theories of these
systems. He highlighted NAVITRONIC®'s specific capabilities:
"For road pavers, VÖGELE NAVITRONIC is the only system
handling not only grade and slope control but also non-
-contacting navigation."

Where quality begins
|
|
| |
Forum attendants, of course, were invited to take a tour of the
VÖGELE factory and the motto was: "Where Quality Begins".
The international visitors had an opportunity to watch
manufacture of SUPER pavers at close range and get an idea of
the modern VÖGELE production facilities. In addition, VÖGELE
supplied information about its services provided in terms of
customer support and parts supply. To round this off, a large
number of machinery was on show on the open-air grounds.
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| |
On the second day, too, the SUPER 600 and SUPER 800 mini and small pavers were in the focus of the Forum.
They were presented by VÖGELE Product Manager Harald Reufels.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Presentation of the new mini and small pavers
|
|
| |
Compact size, easy handling and high manoeuvrability are the
crucial criteria for pavers in the mini and small equipment
class. And these are exactly the points where the SUPER 600,
successor to the SUPER Boy, attains top marks. At the
Technology Forum 2005, the newcomer was presented for the
first time to an audience of professionals. An outer track gauge
of only 1.1m allows reliable and accurate paver manoeuvring
even within deeply milled out strips in road pavements, making
the SUPER 600 the ideal machine to carry out reinstatement
work highly economically.
|
|
|
|
Small paver, big capabilities: SUPER 800
|
|
| |
The wish for a compact-sized machine like SUPER 600 but with
higher performance is fulfilled by the new small SUPER 800.
Remarkable is its laydown rate of up to 250 tonnes/h.
The SUPER 800 comes with an AB 200 Extending Screed in TV
version, thus featuring tamper and vibrators for compaction.
The screed achieves a level of pre-compaction exceptional for
a paver in this class. Exceptional, too, is the maximum pave
width of 3.2m.
|
|
|
|
After the Technology Forum: put to the test in the field
|
|
| |
At the Technology Forum 2005 the SUPER 600 and SUPER
800 pavers demonstrated their exceptional capabilities making
them stand out in their class. No doubt, the pavers will furnish
proof of these abilities in the field, too - on footpaths, cycle
paths and on many other kinds of small-sized applications.
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| |
The Technology Forum also invited guests to take a tour of the modern VÖGELE production facilities in Mannheim and the motto was:
"Where Quality Begins". In the Technology and Service Centre, VÖGELE staff informed about activities and services provided in terms
of customer support and parts supply.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| |
Technology Forum attendants watched the new generation VÖGELE pavers in action from close up. When live asphalt paving began,
no one visitor on the grandstands wanted to stay seated any longer. The new small HAMM DV 40 rollers, too, had to work their way through the crowd.
