V?GELE InLine Pave

V?GELE InLine Pave – The economical paving method for compact asphalt pavements

With the InLine Pave concept, V?GELE offers a particularly innovative paving technique that is particularly suitable for building compact asphalt pavements “hot on hot”. Yet V?GELE InLine?Pave? technology can also handle conventional paving jobs, cost-effectively delivering a high standard of quality.

In the InLine Pave process, the binder course and surface course are paved in a single pass, which not only yields a perfect bond between layers but also ensures strong interlocking of the layers. These are fundamental requirements for the durability of roads.

The advantages of InLine Pave technology

InLine Pave is based on the use of series-produced machinery that undergoes just slight modification for “hot on hot” paving. For contractors, this means that every single machine in the InLine Pave train can also be used for conventional road construction jobs at any time. This substantially increases the productive utilization of the contractor’s machine pool and enhances the return on investment.

The advantages of V?GELE technology are much in evidence, even when transporting the machines. As InLine Pave only uses machinery which is very close in design to series-produced V?GELE pavers, its size and weight are dimensioned so that transport is mere routine.

Maximum evenness

Thanks to V?GELE high-compaction technology installed in the screed, the binder course reaches densities of over 98%. In the InLine Pave process, the surface course is paved “hot on hot“ on a binder layer which, in terms of evenness and density, is on a par with a binder course compacted in the conventional way.

Use of conventional rollers

Medium-weight rollers can follow right behind the paver for surface course to produce the final density. V?GELE high-compaction technology attains such a high degree of precompaction that the number of roller passes required for the final density is reduced substantially. Oscillation compaction technology is ideal for this application.

Clear separation of layers

InLine Pave achieves excellent monolithic interlocking of binder and surface courses. At the same time, V?GELE high compaction allows for a clear separation of the layers.

High capacity utilization through use of machines close to standard design

The material feeder and the paver for surface course can be used for conventional paving jobs at any time, without a need for conversion. The transfer module of the SUPER 2100-3i IP can be mounted or demounted in just a few hours. As a result, every machine of the InLine Pave train is available for conventional paving applications at all times.

Placing base courses with the SUPER 2100-3i IP

The SUPER 2100-3i IP with the AB 600 High Compaction Screed in the TP2 Plus version can also be used as a stand-alone paver for placing high-density base courses. Paving can be carried out in a single layer, which saves time and money.

Easy operation for high process reliability

The operation of all InLine Pave machines is to a large extent identical with ordinary paving jobs. When it comes to grade and slope control, the paving teams can fall back on the knowledge they have gained from jobs using conventional V?GELE equipment.

Machine technology

InLine Pave means that the process of paving takes place by machinery working in a line, one immediately after the other. All machines feature a very compact design. The InLine Pave train comprises three machines. An MT 3000-2i Offset PowerFeeder, a SUPER 2100-3i IP paver for placing binder course and a SUPER 1800-3i paver for placing surface course.

The “hot on hot“ paving method

The two-layer construction of asphalt pavements by “hot on hot“ paving is a particularly efficient method of building long-lasting roads. When using this method, binder and surface courses of hot rolled asphalt are laid “hot on hot“. This offers a number of advantages.

Wide range of applications

The InLine Pave machinery covers a wide range of road construction jobs. Whether it’s used to rehabilitate existing pavements or to construct new ones, V?GELE InLine Pave always offers innovative and highly cost-efficient machine technology for building long-lasting roads.

It can therefore be used to rehabilitate or construct cross-town links, rural roads, federal roads or even highways, cost-effectively delivering maximum quality at top speed.

Rehabilitation of a highway

Paving width 4 m:

Rehabilitation of truck lane alongside flowing traffic.

Rehabilitation of a major road

Paving width 7 m:

Seamless pavement rehabilitation of a major road with curve radii of less than 200 m.

Construction of a new highway

Paving width 5 m:

Before placing binder and surface courses, the base course had been built with the SUPER 2100-2 IP.

Pavement rehabilitation of a national road

Paving width 3.75-5.25 m:

Rehabilitation in single-lane width alongside flowing traffic at a slope of 2%. Referencing from the milled base using the Big MultiPlex Ski supports paving to the highest standards of evenness.

Rehabilitation of a major road

Paving width 7.5 m:

Mix was fed by two MT 3000-2i Offset PowerFeeders

Rehabilitation of a highway

Paving width 4.7 m:

Rehabilitation of a busy highway during the night.

Construction of a new major road

Paving width 7.5 m:

Two-layer paving between six bridges. Only the paver for surface course was used to pave surface course mix on the bridge decks. V?GELE Big MultiPlex Ski used for grade and slope control.

Rehabilitation of a rural road

Paving widths of 5.5-7 m:

9.5-cm binder course and 2.5-m surface course were paved in 12-hour shifts – no problem for the InLine Pave train.
