Market launch of the MT 3000-5

The new generation of material feeders from Vögele

Featuring the new ErgoPlus 5 operating concept, they offer even better operating comfort and all prerequisites for the integration of digital solutions from Vögele. The Dash 5 material feeders are now available in the standard and offset variants in markets around the globe (with the exception of North America and China).

Global market launch

A more efficient paving process and higher paving quality: Material feeders ensure continuous, jolt-free and homogeneous conveying of material to road pavers. Vögele has upgraded the MT 3000 to Dash 5 level and has begun delivery of the first machines in markets around the world. Both models, the MT 3000-5 Standard and the MT 3000-5 Offset, are equipped with the latest ErgoPlus 5 operating concept, additional comfort features and the improved PaveDock Assistant truck communication system. Thanks to the new Dash 5 control technology, the material feeders can now also be integrated into the digital solutions from Vögele.

Smart material handling concept

Both models offer a conveying capacity of up to 1,200 t/h and can take on a full truckload of asphalt mix within 60 seconds. The MT 3000-5 Offset is also equipped with a conveyor that can be slewed through an angle of 55°. This offers construction contractors a wide variety of potential applications, ranging from parallel feeding of two pavers to the InLine Pave method, in which the material feeder and the pavers for the binder course and the surface course work one behind the other. The smart material conveying concept with a large receiving hopper and effective conveyor belt heating enables fast unloading and smooth conveying of the asphalt mix. Reliable prevention of cooling and segregation. In addition, the material feeders are extremely maintenance-friendly and the ramp angle and receiving hopper have been specially optimised to enable easy transportation on low-loader trailers.

New touchscreen operating concept

The new ErgoPlus 5 operating concept is now even easier and more comfortable to use. For the first time, the concept enables the integration of an optional touchscreen display and additional cameras. This gives operators an even better overview of relevant areas on and around the machine and enables them to monitor various functions. Vögele Has also prepared the material feeders for the integration of digital solutions. With the automated functions from Feed Assist, operators just have to push a button to put the material feeder in the transport, repositioning or operating position, or to save material conveying programmes for later use of the settings whenever they are required. Furthermore, the PaveDock Assistant truck communication system makes the material transfer process even easier: The material feeder operator can use two signal lights to show the truck driver clearly whether he should dock with the paver or stop. When paving with the InLine Pave method, the signal lights also indicate whether material for the surface course or the binder course is required. This enables reliable, loss-free and efficient transfer of the asphalt mix.

Vögele has begun delivery of the new Standard and Offset variants of the Standard and Offset variants of the new MT 3000-5 material feeder in numerous markets around the world.

The new ErgoPlus 5 operating concept is now even easier to use and allows the integration of an optional touchscreen display.

Smart material conveying concept: The large receiving hopper with a capacity of up to 15 t and the effective conveying system of the Vögele material feeder enable fast unloading and smooth conveying of the asphalt mix.
