Stability and variability are not mutually exclusive, as the
front-mounted Extending Screeds from VÖGELE prove.
These screeds have been specially developed for VISION
pavers and are the ideal tools for multivariable width
applications like parking lots with multiple traffic islands
and light poles, residential and city streets with storm
sewers, gas and water mains, intersections on major
highway, or county roads with multiple obstructions.
Their variability is also evidenced in the range of possible
profiles: crowns, transverse slopes and berms are set once
and then built perfectly from the start to the end of the paving
process. Equipped with our smooth, robust telescoping system,
the VF 500 and VF 600 Extending Screeds build road pavements
of the highest quality and superb evenness. This also
makes them ideal for paving in mainline applications
where smoothness and density are important.
Guide System
The sturdy guide rods can be extended at two speeds.

Screeds for VISION Series Pavers
As with every extending screed from VÖGELE, the VF 500
and VF 600 also have a particularly robust guide system.
Thanks to its sturdy design, it features excellent stability,
even if the paving width varies continually.
The L-shaped main frame is an important element in
this context. On the one hand, its high rigidity prevents
the screeds from warping in a longitudinal or transverse
direction. At the same time, it permits a controlled
torsion of the screeds as required for certain paving tasks.
Yet stable guidance of the extensions is always guaranteed,
despite this permitted torsion. As the guide system is mounted
on the screeds at an outward position, the torsion of the main
frame is never transferred to this guide system.
A valuable practice-related feature of the innovative front-mounted
screeds is the ability to move the extensions in or out at
different speeds as required. Pressing the button on the
operator’s ErgoPlus console very briefly permits particularly
precise control, e.g. along an edge. The button must be pressed
and held for more rapid extension or retraction. As a result,
screed width control is performed with highest precision to
obtain an absolutely straight pavement edge.
The powerful hydraulic system controls each extension
separately, ensuring that ample power is always available
to move them as required. The fact that the screeds can be
extended absolutely symmetrically on both sides enhances
variability on the job due to independence of the paving direction.
Large dimensioned, sturdy guide rods
featuring high-precision operation. They provide
for excellent stability of the screed, ensuring great
paving results.
The smart arrangement of the two-stage guide
system provides for zero flexing of the screed,
even with the screed set to its maximum width.
Deep screed plate design provides excellent
floatation.
The attachment and support of the guide
rods, as well as the torque restraint system
make up a sturdy suspension, absorbing the
forces exerted on the screeds while paving
and guaranteeing smooth width control of
the extensions.
The end gates of a front-mounted screed are
only about half as long as those of a rear-mounted
screed, permitting particularly precise paving,
working close up to obstacles and this, in turn,
reduces the need for subsequent hand work.
Two speeds for screed width control.

A wide range of pavement profiles is possible with the
front-mounted Extending Screeds. The profile can be set
independently of the extensions’ adjustment in height,
ensuring the greatest degree of variability. Slopes of up to
10% are possible and there is no need to readjust the road
profile at any time while paving.
The optional berm is available in three widths of 12, 18,
or 24 inches. Thanks to the smart design of the screeds,
the berm also remains stable at all times. The zero-position
is maintained without a need to permanently apply pressure
to the berm. Naturally, the screeds can be fitted for various
different berm widths on the right-hand and left-hand sides.
Contractors can choose freely when placing their orders.
Every extension has its own adjusting mechanisms for the
independent setting of height, slope and angle of attack.
The angle of attack of each screed extension is very easy
to set even with bolt-on extensions fitted. Not only is the
bullnose of the screed plate raised during the adjustment
process, but the entire frame of the screed plate is pivoted
around a defined point – a special feature of the VF 500 and
VF 600 Extending Screeds from VÖGELE.
All adjustments on the extension are carried out
separately and independently of each other.

Over decades, VÖGELE has gained a wealth of experience
in electric screed heating, which has been installed in
all screeds since 1952. It is the combination of many
years’ experience and continuous further development
that resulted in the innovative heating system for our
screeds. Electric heating provides that the screed plates
are heated to an ideal temperature for paving. While
paving, the heat output is controlled automatically.
Advanced screed heating ensures uniform heat
distribution all over the screed plates and short times
required for heating.
A three-phase generator is installed for constant,
uniform heating of the screed plates.
Generator management activates screed heating
in alternating mode which cuts electric power required
for heating and reduces fuel consumption.
For the functions operated from the screed console,
push-buttons are provided. These are waterproof and
enclosed in a raised ring, so that they are identifiable
by touch even while wearing work gloves.
The screed operator can select ”Manual Mode“ or
”Automatic Mode“ for conveyors and augers. Also very
useful is the function of “Reversing Auger Rotation”.
At the push of a button, the screed operator can
swap between machine-related data and Niveltronic Plus.
In the Niveltronic Plus section, he gets various information
on the type of sensor selected, actual values or desired
values specified for the layer thickness.
The console‘s display allows the screed operator
to monitor both the left and the right side of the screed.
Machine-related parameters such as vibration speed
or auger speed can be adjusted conveniently via the
display of the screed console.

for high pavement quality.
VÖGELE VF 500 and VF 600 Extending Screeds
are extremely easy to operate thanks to ErgoPlus.
Both the paver operator’s and the screed operators’
workstations are ergonomically designed. The
height and angle of the screed console can be
adjusted. It can also be turned to select an ideal
working position. All functions are logically arranged
on the console. An additional remote control is
provided. What’s more, the compact design of both
screeds ensures that the operator always has an
optimum view of the material flow – including
augers, bolt-on extensions and end gates.
