The Road Passion

A 3.5-kilometre section of the A60 north of Bitburg was badly in need of rehabilitation. A perfectly coordinated team of machines from Hamm and Vögele was deployed on the project. Thanks to the Smart Compact Pro assistance system and the ergonomic ErgoPlus 5 operating concept, both paving precision and the tight completion deadline were easily fulfilled.

By replacing the control system, Weibel AG have prepared their proven, reliable BA 240 from Benninghoven for the future. Thanks to the new BLS 4 control system, the plant will continue to reliably produce high-quality rolled asphalt and mastic asphalt.

A construction company automated the adjustment of the screed width of its Dash 5 paver by detecting and following a joint edge with the Edge Detection laser sensor from Vögele. This ensured precise and resource-efficient paving and simultaneously reduced the paver operator’s workload.

First-class asphalt for the fastest of cars: Russian building contractor Tekhalyans, responsible for the renovation and maintenance of the Sochi Autodrom, is using the new high-tech TBA 3000 plant. The feature speak for themselves: high mixing capacity, improved process reliability, less energy consumption and the resource-friendly use of recycled materials. Premium quality for top speeds of up to 320 km/h!
