Vögele paves the way in Berlin

Rask Brandenburg GmbH, a company specializing in the rehabilitation of roads, employs a Super 1800-3i SprayJet paver for thin overlay and the InLine Pave train to compact asphalt pavements, on a section of 2 km of the Highway A 113 in Berlin.

"With the InLine Pave train - consisting a feeder MT 3000-2i PowerFeeder, a SUper 2100-3i IP for placing binder course and another for paving the surface course - and the Super 1800-3i, we own the most completed fleet regarding the machines for the rehabilitation of roads, "says Bernd Malcharek, President of Rask Brandenburg GmbH. "This combination gives us maximum flexibility."

A few weeks after the shipping, Super 1800-3i SprayJet had already 600 hours on the clock. "With him, the projects can be completed faster. We reduce costs partly because pre-spraying step of the emulsion is eliminated. The results are furthermore exceptional because the bond between the various layers is outstanding" summed up Roland Schug, Marketing Manager at Vögele.

For its part, the InLine Pave process allows the different stages of rehabilitation at once. In other words, the two pavers working in a straight line one behind the other, so that one lane can remain open to traffic. The PowerFeeder MT 3000-2i, automatic distance control, ensures a continuous supply of material. Operators can concentrate only on laying. The major component of the InLine Pave process is the Super 2100-3i IP for placing binder course. This advanced machine has an extension of 1m of conveyor. It transfers the mix for the surface course to the downstream paver.

The Super 2100-3i IP is also equipped with an extending screed AB 600 TP2 Plus. The Super 1800-3i SprayJet, meanwhile, has a water spray system and wider crawler tracks. For spray applications, it also has a removable SprayJet module allowing it to pave and accurately spray the emulsion.
