Screed plates are fitted as standard with heating elements

which distribute the heat all over the plates. Heating elements
are perfectly insulated to prevent loss of heat to the upper
environment. As a result, the heat is directed 100% to where
it is needed, in fact to areas of contact with the hot mix.

VÖGELE screeds are capable of building a wide spectrum

of transverse profile shapes. Amount of crown and height

VÖGELE Extending Screeds come with hydraulically

extending units which are separately adjustable in

purpose each extending unit is fitted with adjusting

The ErgoPlus 3 Screed Console

The screed is crucial for pavement quality. Therefore, easy With ErgoPlus 3, the screed operator has the paving process
and positive handling of all screed functions is of utmost at his fingertips. All functions are easily comprehensible and
importance for high-quality road construction. all controls are clearly arranged.

The Screed Console

The screed console is designed in keeping with the conditions prevailing on the job site. Push-buttons
are provided for the frequently used functions operated from the screed console. These are watertight
and enclosed in palpably raised rings, so that they are identifiable blindfold simply by touch even when
wearing work gloves. Important paver and screed data can be called up and adjusted from the screed
console, too.

The Display of the Screed Console

The display of the screed console allows the screed operator to control and monitor both the left and
the right side of the screed. Machine-related parameters such as tamper speed or conveyor speed
can be adjusted conveniently via the display panel of the screed console. The clear menu structure,
combined with easily understandable, self-explanatory symbols neutral in language, makes operating
the display panel both simple and safe.

Niveltronic Plus (Option)

Niveltronic Plus, the cutting-edge VÖGELE System for Automated Grade and Slope Control, is very
easy to learn and achieves outstanding paving results. All important functions of Niveltronic Plus
can be accessed directly on menu level 1. The operator is provided with a variety of information,
such as the sensor currently selected or the specified and actual values for layer thickness.

An electronic system installed in the screed tow point rams picks up the tow points‘ positions. Display
of the current tow point positions and of the transverse slope on the screed console greatly facilitates
set-up of the screed. All sensors connected are recognized automatically by Niveltronic Plus and can
be monitored and controlled from either screed console. An open interface is provided for connection
of a GPS system, thus permitting 3D paving.*

Crown Adjustment at the Press of a Button

The crown can be conveniently adjusted at the press of a button on the screed operator's console.
When the “plus” or “minus” keys are pressed, the set crown value is shown on the display.

Ergonomic screed
The screed width can be effortlessly adjusted by means of the handy SmartWheel. With the “dash 3”
pavers of the Universal Class and Highway Class, adjustment can even be made at two different speeds:
slow, for precisely control e.g. along an edge, or fast, for rapid extension and retraction of the screed.
