Important! Disc brake mechanisms completely block the movement of the caterpillar tracks in the absence of pressure in the hydraulic system. They do not require regular maintenance; they are located in the final drive.

Devices for transporting and distributing mixtures

material receiving hopper A removable side flap is provided for maintenance work. The unloading side of the dump truck rests against the shock-absorbing shaft to eliminate shock loads.

Screw augers that distribute the mixture allow changing blades and are adjusted in height simultaneously with the channel sheets and supports of the auger chamber. The adjustment drive is mechanical.

Two scraper conveyors ensure filling of the chambers and allow the replacement of scrapers and conveyor bottom sheets.

The screws and conveyors operate from hydrostatic drives, allow mode reversal, and are controlled by mechanical limit switches.

The auger chamber is completely filled automatically when the unit is stopped. The machine is supplied with left and right auger extensions 65 cm long.

Executive agency. The mechanism consists of a block for compacting and a plate for smoothing the mixture. The device is connected to the unit frame by support arms through a swivel joint and is fixed in working position by hydraulic jacks.

The effective operation of the executive body is ensured by vibration of the base of the plate (the vibration frequency is set by the operator) and its electric heating.

The degree of compaction after passing through the unit is 98%, which, according to equipment manufacturers, makes it possible to do without additional rolling. The road workers do not support this point of view, re-launching heavy rollers along the newly formed lane.

The machine, at the buyer’s request, is equipped with:

• a standard executive body in a block design with retractable widening devices - expanded hydraulically;
• mechanical expansion devices in the amount of one to three;
• up to three versions of working units, easily assembled from main and additional sectional kits.

Hopper Vogele SUPER 1900-2

Scraper conveyors are designed to distribute the mixture among the chambers. They are also removable for repair and replacement. The same applies to the bottom of the conveyor.

The augers and conveyors of the Vogele Super 1900-2 asphalt paver are driven by hydraulic volumetric drives and can rotate at different speeds. They are controlled by mechanical limit switches.

The high technical characteristics of Vogele Super 1900 and productivity are achieved thanks to the high-quality distribution of the mixture. Screw augers are repairable; their blades are removable so they can be replaced as they wear out. They have mechanical height adjustment and are adjusted together with the camera supports and channel sheets.

Place for asphalt supply to the Vogele SUPER 1900-2 auger

The auger chamber goes into automatic mode when the engine is turned off. Two auger extenders are included as standard.

The timber is used to compact the working mixture on the base; the slab is designed to level the finished coating. The slab and timber are combined into a single system called the executive body. The structure is also connected to the machine frame using hinges; the mount with support arms is fixed using hydraulic jacks. The base of the slab vibrates, thereby compacting the mixture and providing a more even surface. The plate temperature and oscillation frequency are set by the operator.

After laying the strip, its compaction reaches 98%, which makes it possible to avoid re-rolling. This is the manufacturer's opinion, however, to improve efficiency, road construction workers use heavier rollers to maximize pavement density.

Control system

The main purpose of the machine is to create a designed profile in a certain area while continuously laying the working mixture.

Control panel Vogele SUPER 1900-2

The work is carried out in conjunction with analog tracking of compliance of the road laying trajectory with the project. Geodetic work in this case consists of constructing a tracing string, which is a guideline for road construction work. A multi-leg and short ski is also installed. An analog sensor uses a probe to detect deviations and transmit data for processing to the controller. Next, the hydraulics come into play - the position of the Vogele Super 1900-2 asphalt paver plate is adjusted using hydraulic cylinders. All these processes occur automatically. In reality, the consistency of the controller and hydraulic system is less important than the experience and ability of the operator and machine operator.

It is also possible to use digital devices that interact with lasers and ultrasound. Thanks to modern technologies, interaction between the on-board computer and digital devices has become possible. Therefore, the accuracy of volumetric profiling is high and this allows you to abandon geodetic work.

The Nivelltronic Plus system is part of ERGO Plus and is designed for leveling the working element. Its main elements, such as cables and connectors, are manufactured at the factory. Information from the sensors is transmitted quickly, its visual perception is quite simple, the function designations are diagrammatic.

There are three types of sensors. The first of them is of a mechanical type, allowing you to determine the height of a point using probes (skis) and string brackets. The second type is ultrasonic, intended for the same purposes. The third - Big-Multiplex-Ski, consists of three ultrasonic sensors connected together on a thirteen-meter beam. Used to determine long-term profile deviations. All data from them is transferred to the receiver, where the information is processed. It is included in the basic package together with laser stations.

Control. Automatic systems

The main function is the formation of the design profile of the road surface on the ground while observing technologies for continuous laying of the mixture.

Analog devices set the base surface using a carbon string, a multi-support and a short ski pre-set by surveyors. The sensor probe, sliding along the string, transmits deviation signals from the design marks to the controller.

The hydraulic system, in response to control commands from the controller, raises or lowers the slab through a system of hydraulic cylinders. In practice, it is difficult to achieve coordinated operation of the controller and hydraulic system; the experience and qualifications of the machine operator and plant operator have a decisive influence on the quality of the profile.

Digital devices use laser and ultrasonic point height sensors. Existing standards of modern interfaces allow, with sufficient accuracy parameters, to combine a 3D profiling system with the hydraulic system of an asphalt paver, eliminating the work of surveyors in placing road profile points on the ground.

Niveltronic Plus

The device is fully integrated into the ERGO Plus unit control system and ensures the operation of the actuator. Connectors and cables are factory installed. All sensors are recognized automatically, the interface is simple, functions are indicated by clear icons.

Purpose of sensors:

• heights (mechanical) – probes in the form of skis, staples for tracing wire;
• point height (ultrasonic);
• Big-Multiplex-Ski - a unit of three sensors using ultrasonic radiation, mounted on a 13-meter beam to process the profile of extended irregularities.

All sensors are linked through a laser radiation receiver, which allows working with web profiles over large areas. The delivery set includes laser stations and a GPS signal receiver-processor.
