For SB 250 / SB 300 Fixed-Width Screeds Infinitely Variable Range

up to 1.5m Concrete Screed Maximum Pave Width
7.5m*

Fixed Screeds are ideal for paving in larger widths. Their fields of applications are enhanced by VGELE Hydraulic
Bolt-on Extensions which offer the advantage of infinitely variable pave width within the range of 1.5m. And Hydraulic
Bolt-on extensions save time. In order to change screed width within the above range, there is no need to mount or
demount conventional bolt-on extensions as it used to be.
Hydraulic Bolt-on Extensions are based on the technology of the well-proven VGELE Extending Screeds. Units are
available in T version (with tamper), TP1 version (with tamper and 1 pressure bar) or TP2 version (with tamper and
2 pressure bars). They can be fitted to mechanical bolt-on extensions of 1m or 1.5m. For mounting Hydraulic Bolt-on
Extensions, the screed needs to be enlarged in width through mechanical extensions by at least 1.5m, both left and
right sides.
The SB 250 B Concrete Screed makes economical construction of concrete pavements an easy job. The screed
handling a maximum pave width of 7.5m and layer thickness up to 30cm is ideally suited to PCC paving, for instance,
on storage areas for containers, industrial yards, roads on factory grounds, industrial floors etc. For concrete paving,
high compaction is a crucial issue. This is why the SB 250 B Concrete Screed comes with the full package of compacting
systems. Equipped with tamper, vibrators and 2 pressure bars this special HPC screed in TVP2 version yields a final
density of up to 98%. And what is more: screeds swap easily, thus allowing the paver to be quickly ready for operation
whether on a job for asphalt or concrete paving. Downtime is minimized and the pavers utilization enhanced considerably.

Screed Heating

Electric Screed Heating

Through decades, VGELE have gained a wealth of experience in electric screed heating, which has been installed in
all VGELE Fixed-Width and Extending Screeds since 1952. Electric heating provided for all compacting and smoothing
screed elements heats them up and maintains an ideal temperature while paving. In all VGELE tractor units, powerful and
sturdy three-phase A.C. generators are installed supplying electric power for screed heating. An intelligent Generator
Management brings highest efficiency.

In order to support compaction and produce a smooth surface texture, all compacting elements are heated across the
full screed width.

Screed plates are fitted as standard with heating elements distributing the heat all over the plates. Heating elements
are perfectly insulated to prevent loss of heat to the upper environment. As a result, the heat is directed 100% to where
it is needed, in fact to areas of contact with the hot mix. Tamper bar and pressure bars are fitted with heating rods for
quick and uniform heating from inside. Sophisticated technology is installed allowing automated control of screed heating.

Generator Management

An intelligent Generator Management system ensures that, irrespective of engine rpm, the generator output needed
for heating the screed in its current pave width is made available at all times. Heating the screeds compacting systems
to operating temperature takes a short time only even with the engine running at minimum rpm. When paving with
paver functions set to automatic, the Generator Management activates screed heating in Alternating Mode which cuts
electric power required for heating and reduces fuel consumption.
A three-phase A.C. generator, easily accessible, is installed to supply power for perfect heating of VGELE Extending Screeds and Fixed-Width Screeds across the full pave width.

VGELE Single-Tube Telescoping System

The hydraulically extending units of VGELE screeds slide in and out smoothly on a single-tube telescoping system. Telescoping Tube
The three-section telescoping tube is amply dimensioned (150/170/190mm) and optimally stabilzed. Even with the
screed set to its maximum width, each tube section is extended by no more than half. Low-wear teflon tape inside the
telescoping tube provides for jerk-free sliding. For screed width control, two hydraulic rams are installed which can be
operated very precisely.

3-Point Suspension

VGELE Extending Screeds place all kinds of layers with highest precision, also those varying in thickness across the

Pavement Profiles
Crown / Transverse Profiles
VGELE screeds are capable of building a wide spectrum
of transverse profile shapes. Amount of crown and
height of the screeds extending units can be set up to a
variety of specifications across the full pave width,
with bolt-on extensions included.
VGELE Extending Screeds come with hydraulically
extending units which are separately adjustable in height,
independent of the screeds basic unit. For this purpose
each extending unit is fitted with adjusting spindles on
either side. Spindles can be operated separately, which
allows the extending unit to be sloped above or below
horizontal. This way, the screed can be set up to any
transverse profile whatsoever imaginable in practice.
When combining the extending units sloping above or
below horizontal with a crown of the screeds basic unit,
VGELE Extending Screeds are capable of even handling

 VGELE Manufacturing Technology
Where Quality Begins

The screed is the heart of each road paver. From the engineering point of view, it is the crucial
component deciding whether the paving job will be a success or not. VGELE are committed to the
manufacture of prime quality screeds standing out through high reliability and the latest in screed
technology.

VGELE sceed plates made of highly wear resistant material undergo a 3-step manufacturing
process. Accurate milling of the plates leading edges by special tools ensures that later on the mix
will be properly packed under the screed. In addition, it provides for smooth and accurate guidance
of the tamper bar, a feature that adds to long service lives of both screed plate and tamper.

First-class thermal treatment of tamper bar and pressure bars is crucial for high quality and longevity.
It is the process of hardening proper that decides upon these components wear properties. VGELE
relies on induction hardening. This method provides for enhanced hardening depth, uniform hardening
over the bars full length and highest evenness properties that reduce wear of tamper bar and pressure
bars and guarantee long service lives.

 VGELE Manufacturing Technology
Where Quality Begins

Stability and high precision of the single-tube telescoping system installed in VGELE Extending
Screeds are of crucial importance for the paving results achieved later on in the field. It is above all
large screed widths that call for a high level of accuracy. Therefore, stability and zero slack are main
demands made on the telescoping systems in VGELE screeds. With honing machines we produce an
extremely smooth surface, allowing a roughness of no more than 5 thousandths of a millimetre.
This is 20 times less than the thickness of a human hair.

An important step in the manufacturing process is robotized welding of screed frames. With workpieces
in an optimal position, robot-produced welds are carried out with high precision, seam after seam.
As a result, screed frames manufactured this way feature consistent high quality and excellent sturdyness.

During all phases of their manufacture and during final assembly, our screeds undergo thorough
testing which guarantees that products made to highest standards of quality are supplied to clients

20 times less than the thickness of a human hair. Inner surfaces of telescoping tubes are machined to the highest possible level of precision.

Eccentric shafts for tamper drives. Welding cell for screed frames. Robot-produced weld seams feature consistent, Low-wear teflon tape for zero slack of the telescoping tubes. During final assembly, VGELE screeds undergo a variety of functional tests.

Bolt-on Extensions

For all VGELE screeds bolt-on extensions are available. The VGELE system of bolt-on extensions
AB 200 AB 340
allows to easily and sturdily build up screeds to any pave width desired. Even when paving in large
widths, VGELE screeds work with highest precision and achieve superb degrees of uniform density
right up to the pavement edges.

Bolt-on extensions are fitted with the same heating elements installed in the basic screed.
Your benefit: a consistent, high pavement quality across the full pave width.
