2 Just 5.68m long, the new SUPER i is highly acclaimed Extremely Compact, Highly Manœuvrable, SUPER i Nothing short of excellent The Dash 3 generation has grown. The new SUPER i paver from VÖGELE is packed with innovations among other things, it is a whole 28cm shorter and more powerful than its predecessor. As a result, the compact paver slots perfectly into the gap between the Compact Class and the Universal Class. The following pages describe the innovative Dash 3 features which enable this powerful all-rounder to handle even very complex and confined job sites reliably and efficiently. Stop getting better and you stop being good has long been the maxim of development engineers at VÖGELE. VÖGELE have done a lot of tweaking on the new Dash 3 generation: such new features as VÖGELE EcoPlus, AutoSet Plus, PaveDock Assistant and PaveDock, as well as ErgoPlus 3 raise the bar in terms of safety, ease of operation and energy efficiency.

Super for all confined job sites The most compact tracked paver in the Universal Class In transport position, the tractor unit and screed of the new SUPER i measure just 5.68m, making it 28cm shorter than its predecessor and consequently more manœuvrable and versatile. With a pave width of 6.5m, the compact machine can easily handle all kinds of paving jobs within its range of applications. Should a pave width of 7.5m be required for special roadworks, then extra equipment can be Large hatch despite the compact size: the material hopper has a capacity of 13t. made available upon request. In the new SUPER i a 116kW Cummins diesel engine of the latest generation is installed, making it 16kW or 16% more powerful than the SUPER Shorter, more compact and more powerful this all adds up to a much more manœuvrable paver. Crawler tracks with powerful separate drives integrated into the sprockets combine with an extremely compact design to ensure outstanding manœuvrability. As a result, the new SUPER i performs outstandingly on all confined job sites. And wherever excellent manœuvrability is expected, such as on roundabouts, when negotiating obstacles and in bends. This makes the compact paver simply unbeatable, especially on urban job sites. However, it also ensures rapid progress on regional roads, too. The 116kW engine delivers sufficient power to allow the SUPER 16003i to effortlessly push a feed lorry even at maximum pave width.

5 Page 4/16 Shortness is also a boon in terms of logistics. Thanks to its compact size, the SUPER i can be transported easily, economically and without requiring undue space. 2. More eco-friendly and cost-efficient "VÖGELE EcoPlus" Less means more is the motto behind the machine concept of the SUPER i. To this end, several complementary features have been integrated into the VÖGELE EcoPlus low-emissions package. These are, specifically, the splitter gearbox, the variable-speed fan and the controlled hydraulic oil temperature circuit. The splitter gearbox When the paver is stationary for a while, e.g. while waiting, all hydraulic pumps for traction, conveyors and augers as well as compacting systems are automatically disengaged. Fuel consumption is reduced as a result. And reducing drag also makes it significantly easier to start the paver at low outside temperatures. The bypass circuit gets the oil to its optimum operating temperature much more quickly.

6 The variable-speed fan Its speed automatically adapts to the engine load and ambient temperature. The fan is driven via a viscous coupling. In contrast to a hydraulic drive, this new type of fan drive stands out through its considerably greater energy efficiency. It also makes the engine very much quieter. The controlled hydraulic oil temperature circuit A bypass circuit allows the hydraulic oil to reach its optimum operating temperature much more quickly. This permits rapid, fuel-saving operation of the SUPER i. The oil is only diverted through the cooler assembly via the bypass circuit when it rises above the optimum temperature level of C.

7 Page 6/16 3. Two new automatic functions: repositioning and transport function as well as paving programmes The automatic repositioning and transport function makes it easier to resume operation after changing from one job section to another or after transporting the SUPER i. The paver is moved to transport position at the push of a button. After repositioning on the job site, another push of the button is all that is needed to retrieve the previously saved working position. Automatic repositioning and transport function: the paver is prepared for repositioning on the job site simply by pressing the Execute button. The other automatic function is dubbed paving programmes. This function allows the operator to save certain site parameters, such as layer thickness, pave width, material used and paver settings from the momentary paving process as a paving programme. These parameters can subsequently be retrieved and reused whenever they are needed. For instance, when working on a job site with the same or similar conditions.

For this purpose, VÖGELE have developed PaveDock Assistant to facilitate communication between the paver operator and the driver of the feed vehicle, as well as to ensure that mix is delivered to the paver safely and without jolts. Two sets of lights are mounted on the right and left-hand sides of the paver hardtop. With these lights, the paver operator can indicate to the driver of the feed vehicle exactly what needs to be done, e.g. reverse, stop or dump mix. The corresponding signals are set at the push of a button via the ErgoPlus 3 operating console. Jolt-free feeding: PaveDock VÖGELE supply the sprung PaveDock push-rollers as a supplement to the PaveDock Assistant. This system efficiently absorbs impacts when the feed vehicle docks onto the paver. A sensor installed in the sprung push-rollers indicates whenever a feed vehicle has docked. The Stop signal then lights up automatically on the set of PaveDock Assistant lights.

9 5. An added plus in terms of operation The user-friendly ErgoPlus operating system which has already proved its practical value on job sites the world over has been enhanced by VÖGELE with useful supplementary features for the new Dash 3 generation. A redesigned high-contrast colour display ensures brilliant readability even in difficult lighting. All symbols are easy to understand and allow operators to work intuitively. What s more, the driver s seat and the paver operator s console, as well as the screed consoles can now be adjusted even more easily to the operators needs. Side panelling affords protection from the wind and rain. Page 8/16

10 6. Powerful traction drive 116kW Cummins diesel engine of the latest generation A modern liquid-cooled Cummins engine with a rated output of 116kW ensures that the SUPER i also performs perfectly when building roads at precisely the defined pave speed. The suffix i stands for intelligent emission control and designates all WIRTGEN GROUP machines which are fitted with engines meeting the stringent exhaust standards of the EU/EFTA countries, the US, Canada and Japan. When set to Eco mode, the paver still delivers 106kW, which is more than enough for most applications. Eco mode additionally reduces both operating costs and noise levels of the Dash 3 paver much to the delight of every paving team. Page 9/16

11 7. Maximum precision on all job sites VÖGELE AB 500 and AB 600 Extending Screeds The two extending screeds AB 500 for pave widths from 2.55 to 5m and AB 600 for pave widths from 3 to 6m are ideal for jobs that call for variability. Bolt-on extensions allow the pave width of both extending screeds to be increased to 7.5m or more. The new VÖGELE screeds are hence perfect when teamed with the multi-purpose SUPER i. Perfect pavement quality is assured, among other things, by hydraulic crown control, electric screed heating, hydraulically height-adjustable side plates and an exceedingly sturdy, highprecision single-tube telescoping system with which the pave width can be adjusted quickly and with millimetre accuracy. In addition, the optimized tamper geometry and vibrators of the AB 500 and AB 600 ensure excellent compaction, as both systems are installed over the full width of the screeds. Ergonomics and ease of operation are further enhanced by two additional innovations: one is the wide and safely accessible walkway, the other the new screed console with colour display and SmartWheel.

12 Page 11/16 The new screed console For the Dash 3 generation, VÖGELE have equipped the screed console with a number of technical innovations to make everyday work easier. The high-contrast colour display is extremely easy to read from any angle. Even in dusk or darkness, full control is assured by the special night design with backlit buttons. The SmartWheel for pave width control with absolute precision is a completely new feature. On the SUPER i, two speeds are available to extend and retract the screed at low or high speed simply by turning the SmartWheel.

13 Hot wheels The new wheeled SUPER i paver is a thoroughly smart all-rounder. The paver s short overall length and the new Pivot Steer function make it particularly easy to manœuvre and therefore ideal for numerous applications. The SUPER i is unbelievably agile. Tedious moving back and forth is a thing of the past, even in confined conditions, thanks to its very small outside turning radius of just 3.5m. Greater manœuvrability also means greater productivity and efficiency. And it goes without saying that the wheeled paver SUPER i is equipped with all the same new Dash 3 features as the tracked paver SUPER i. Page 12/16

15 8. Maximum power transmission Separate hydraulic drives in both rear wheels Thanks to its separate hydraulic drives in the two rear wheels, the new SUPER i can Page 14/16 SUPER i Highlights Maximum pave width: 7m really work up some speed. Its perfectly coordinated drive concept not only permits high pave speeds and rapid repositioning on the job site, but also allows the paver to travel at Maximum laydown rate 600t/h speeds of up to 20km/h on public roads. Electronic traction management guarantees Transport width 2.55m optimum tractive effort and protects the engine against overload. Constant ground contact is assured by the statically determined 3-point suspension of the front wheels. Cummins diesel engine with a rated output of 116kW / 2,000rpm VÖGELE EcoPlus low-emissions package significantly reduces fuel consumption and noise Levels. AutoSet Plus functions for quick and safe repositioning on site and for saving own paving programmes. PaveDock Assistant improves process reliability during transfer of the mix. ErgoPlus 3 with numerous additional ergonomic and functional advantages.

Three drive versions 6 x 2, 6 x 4 and new: 6 x 6 all-wheel Thanks to its high tractive power, the paver moves quickly not only when paving, but also when travelling under its own power. When it comes to power transmission, the SUPER i offers three varieties: Drive version 6 x 2 with separate hydraulic drives in the two rear wheels. Drive version 6 x 4 with two additionally driven front wheels.and drive version 6 x 6 with all-wheel drive for maximum traction and directional stability, particularly on tough terrain. Electronic traction management protects the drive system against overload. And the statically determined 3-point suspension of the front wheels guarantees constant ground contact in all situations. 10. Turning radius of just 3.5m Pivot Steer A small turning radius is the last thing anyone would expect of a wheeled paver. Not so with the wheeled SUPER i. Its innovative Pivot Steer function reduces the torque of the rear inside wheel and hence minimizes the outside turning radius to no more than 3.5m. The function can be activated in repositioning mode, regardless of whether the paver is advancing or reversing. That saves a great deal of time when manœuvring the machine. For comparison: without Pivot Steer, the wheeled SUPER i would have an outside turning radius of 6.5m.
