Vögele is a world market leader in Asphalt paving and offers the right paver for every application with various combinations of different paving widths and also offers state-of-the-art power feed-ers, especially for the large-scale job sites to offer a reliable, uninterrupted transfer of mix to the pavers. Bharatmala Pariyojana is a prestigious infrastructure project of the Government of India. The Voegele MT 3000-2 Power Feeder along with the 13 m Super 2100-3 Paver and Hamm Compac-tors were deployed by one of the company’s esteemed customers, Gawar Construction on NH 148B for a project in Haryana. Rakesh Gawar, Promoter Director, Gawar Construction says, “Jerk free continuous paving is the key to the excellent surface finish and riding quality thanks to MT3000-2 power feeder.

The difference can be definitely experienced as very less vibrations can be felt while riding on the paved road. Roads paved using power feeder have performed well in the roughness test as well. We have experienced the difference between conventional paving and the paving using the Voegele Power feeder and we look forward to using it in future projects as well”

Application of power feeder

Large roads, such as motorways or trunk roads, are the best applications for mobile feeders.

The Power Feeder from Vögele is perfectly tailored for use when paving “hot to hot” with two pavers. The offset technology is also ideal for filling the spaces between safety barriers on motorways or long-distance roads quickly and economically. The mobile feeder also demonstrates its strengths when it comes to surfacing footpaths or cycle paths. With its pivoting conveyor, it can travel on the main road and conveniently transfer the mix to a small or compact paver on the cycle path. The Vögele Power Feeder is also used in an InLine Pave train laying binder and surface courses “hot on hot” in a single pass. Its pivoting conveyor alternately supplies mix to the paver for the binder course and the paver for the surface course by way of a transfer module.

A non-stop, non-contacting transfer of mix achieved by the feeder is a decisive factor for perfect paving quality. With a peak conveying performance of 1,200 tonne/hour it can empty a full truck-load in just 60 seconds. The onboard total storage capacity of 45 tonne ensures uninterrupted pav-ing, high-quality matt finish and faster job completion. The excellent paving performance ensures cost saving to customers on account of fixed expenses and increased revenue per day.

Highlights of the Vögele MT 3000-2 Offset Power Feeder

Uninterrupted paving because of the total storage capacity of 45t with a maximum convey-ing capacity of 1,200 tonne/hour.

The non-contacting material transfer makes for maximum pavement quality.

Homogenised material in the receiving hopper of the material feeder due to conical augers.

Wide range of applications thanks to the pivoting and inclining conveyor.

A reliable material transfer based on automatic distance control and anti-collision protection.

Optimum overview and safety thanks to the convenient and practical ErgoPlus operating concept.

Powerful Deutz Engine with 142 kW at 2000 rpm with ECO mode 139 kW at 1800 rpm.

55 degrees conveyor pivoting angle with an infrared heating panel.

A new generation of material feeders from Vögele

To further increase the user-friendly nature and efficiency of the machines, Joseph Vögele AG has now comprehensively overhauled its former Dash-2 generation: the new MT 3000-3i Standard Power Feeder and the MT 3000-3i Offset Power Feeder with pivoting conveyor equipped with the efficient and ergonomic Dash-3 machine concept. This includes, among other things, the ErgoPlus 3 intuitive operating concept, AutoSet Plus automatic functions and the PaveDock Assistant truck communication system. Vögele has also optimised the material handling concept: the new design of receiving hopper, the improved conveyor belt control and the effective belt heating system al-lows the material to be unloaded and conveyed rapidly without loss – while simultaneously reduc-ing wear. Maintenance and transport have been simplified: users can now reach setting and clean-ing points even more conveniently.

The angle of inclination and the receiving hopper has also been optimised for transport on a low-loader.
