6 HIGHLIGHTS OF VOGELE S1800-3 SPRAYJET 

1. UNIQUE SPRAY PAVER WORLDWIDE

Paver for a whole variety of applications

- Modular machine concept

- Can be used as spray paver and as a conventional paver

- For paving thin layers hot on spray seal or tack coat

- Can be used for paving conventional surface and binder courses

At a glance

- Maximum spray width: 6m

- Maximum pave width: 9m*

- Maximum laydown rate: 700t/h

- Transport width: 2.55m (AB 500), 3.00m (AB 600)

- Engine output: 127kW at 2,000 rpm, 116kW at 1,700 rpm (ECO Mode)

* As standard paver for conventional paving.

Paving thin overlay hot on a spray seal or tack coat

- Low-cost asphalt paving process for rehabilitating and replacing surface courses

- Suitable for all traffic areas

- Layer thickness is normally no more than 1.2 to 2cm

- No costly cleaning of roadway edgings or fittings required

- Pave speed is three to five times higher than with conventional asphalt paving

- Bitumen emulsion is sprayed and the asphalt paved in a single pass

- Neither construction vehicles nor the paver drive over and damage the emulsion film

What happens when the bitumen emulsion "breaks":

- The water begins to evaporate as soon as the hot bitumen emulsion is sprayed at a temperature of 70 to 80 °C.

- The remaining water evaporates when the emulsion comes into contact with the hot mix of more than 100 °C. In this way, the emulsion "breaks" when using SprayJet technology from VÖGELE.

- Any water still remaining in the emulsion can evaporate through the "open pores" in the hot asphalt pavement.

SPRAYJET MODULE

1. Insulation and the integrated electric heating (2 x 7kW) keep the emulsion at the temperature required for processing

2. Capacity of the emulsion tank: 2,100 litres

3. Compressed air system integrated into the module

4. Easy access to all the main service points

5. Supplementary gas heating for bitumen emulsion that is delivered cold

6. Heated pump circulates and homogenizes the bitumen emulsion in the tank

7. All circuits are switched automatically via electronically controlled ball valves

8. Additional filler port on the left for flexible replenishment of emulsion from either side

2. CLEAN AND SAFE SPRAYING PROCESS – SPRAY TECHNOLOGY

Five spray bars with a total of 24 nozzles

A front spray bar with 6 six nozzles, 2 articulated spray bars with 7 nozzles each and 2 bars with 2 nozzles each.

Spray bar arrangement ensures uninterrupted application of the emulsion

Mechanically coupled width control and angle sensor ensure full coverage of the existing surface with emulsion even when the pave width varies.

Rate of spread can be precisely controlled from 0.3 to 1.6kg/m²

SprayJet nozzles spray the emulsion intermittently, not continuously

The frequency of the spray pulses is automatically adjusted by a compressed air system as a function of the selected rate of spread, pave speed and pave width.

Uniform emulsion film covering the entire area

Emulsion is applied at a low spray pressure of no more than 3 bar

The low spray pressure ensures that the emulsion is sprayed accurately. No need for costly cleaning of the roadway edging.

Two different types of slotted spray nozzles:

- Size 10 nozzles: with 100% throughput (standard)

- Size 16 nozzles: with 160% throughput

The spray nozzles open and close pneumatically. A compressed air system is integrated into the SprayJet module for this purpose.

The 5 spray bars are supplied with emulsion via. 3 separate circuits. This arrangement allows the emulsion to be sprayed at a low pressure of no more than 3 bar. All circuits are switched automatically via electronically controlled ball valves.

3. “DASH 3” FEATURES

AUTOSET PLUS

"AutoSet Plus" incorporates two handy automatic functions:

- The “Repositioning function” makes it easier to change between work sections on the job site. The paver is automatically set to transport mode at the push of a button and the current settings are saved.

- Current paver and screed settings are saved with the function "Paving programs" and can be retrieved whenever required at a later date, for instance on job sites with comparable conditions.

PAVEDOCK ASSISTANT

"PaveDock Assistant" is the communication unit between the paver operator and the feed vehicle driver. It allows particularly fast and reliable transfer of mix to the paver. Signal lights on the paver and the associated controls on the paver operator's ErgoPlus 3 console are key components of the "PaveDock Assistant".

VÖGELE ECOPLUS

The innovative "VÖGELE EcoPlus" low-emissions package includes a number of features for reducing both noise levels and fuel consumption. Fuel costs are reduced by up to 25% through the combination of an energy-optimized tamper drive, variable-speed fan, controlled hydraulic oil temperature circuit and splitter gearbox.

4. ERGOPLUS 3 AND SPECIAL FEATURES OF SPRAYJET OPERATION

- VÖGELE ErgoPlus 3 operating concept for easy machine operation

- All the most important, regularly used functions are clustered in logical groups

- Operation of the machine can be learned quickly and easily

- Important functions for spraying are integrated into the large colour display on the paver operator's console

- Indication of the maximum possible pave speed as a function of the set rate of spread

- Handy automatic functions at the push of a button, such as "Start of job" and "End of job"

5. SCREED TECHNOLOGY - PRECISE AND ULTRAMODERN

Available screeds: AB 500, AB 600

Compacting systems: TV, TP1

Heating of the screed and emulsion tank are controlled separately for more efficient energy consumption

Screed technology

Newly developed side plates

All settings can be made safely and conveniently from the walkway thanks to the highly ergonomic and hydraulically adjustable side plates. The operator easily adjusts the height of the mechanical side plates.

Excellent floating and paving performance

The optimized geometry of the tamper bar and the screed plates allows an even flatter screed planing angle, which improves the floating properties of the screed. The result is outstanding compaction with improved pavement evenness.

Highly efficient screed heating

Powerful new generators provide even more heating performance. The increased heating dynamics result in faster and more uniform screed warm-up.

Safe and convenient screed ascent

The centrally positioned screed ascent allows quick and convenient access to the operator's platform. A particularly wide, vibration-damped walkway allows safe and convenient operation.

Hydraulic crown control

The crown can be adjusted hydraulically as standard with the AB 500 and AB 600 Extending Screeds. This is realized quickly and precisely via push-buttons on the screed consoles. The crown value is indicated on the consoles' displays.

Ergonomic screed operator's console

The high-contrast colour display guarantees optimum visibility from all angles and provides a brilliant display of all information. The "SmartWheel" has two speeds for precise screed width control.

6. “DASH 3” SERVICE CONCEPT
