Paving the final word go-kart observe with the Vögele SUPER 1303-3i
“Like flying a helicopter in your lounge” is how three-time world Method 1 champion Nelson Piquet as soon as described driving the Monte Carlo racing circuit.
A job web site in Hemer, in Germany’s North-Rhine Westphalia, created a really related impression as Vögele compact class pavers created a brand new karting observe there. Two SUPER 1303-3i-type wheeled pavers delivered precision work on this venture, paving extremely tight bends over a distance of precisely 391.49 metres.
If the world market chief for electrical and gas-driven go-karts is constructing its personal observe outdoors its new headquarters, one factor is for certain: the standard of the observe should be each bit pretty much as good as that of the merchandise made within the neighbouring manufacturing unit. This made the Hemer job web site on the headquarters of RiMO GERMANY GmbH & Co. KG a problem, which was met by highway development contractor Ossenberg Aufbereitung, Straßen- und Tiefbau GmbH with two Vögele pavers.
Seven hairpin bends with a crossfall of as much as 20 % and a chicane created a circuit within the northern space of Sauerland which makes use of the small web site and calls for talent from these driving the go-karts. The course is designed for testing go-karts, however locals additionally achieve an additional leisure facility.
Tight bends together with a crossfall: the delicate wheeled undercarriages of the SUPER 1303-3i machines allow them to take the bend easily.
Pivot Steer allows wheeled pavers to grasp tight bends
Vögele compact pavers, two SUPER 1303-3i machines, took the lion’s share of paving the observe which varies in width from 5.2 to 9.5 metres. On the widest factors, the paving workforce additionally used the SUPER 1803-2 common class paver. A key consider delivering a high-quality outcome right here was the wheeled undercarriage. It is because wheeled pavers are a bonus when paving tight bends as a result of they steer with excessive precision and their 6×4 drive means they all the time have grip. Two pneumatic rear tyres and 4 entrance wheels mounted on bogies additionally even up irregularities.
“It was spectacular to see how easily the Vögele pavers took the bends,” says Dominik Twer, venture supervisor at Ossenberg Aufbereitung, Straßen- und Tiefbau.

“Sizzling to sizzling” around the circuit
As is common on race observe job websites, paving was carried out “sizzling to sizzling”. It is because the extra bends a observe has, the better the good thing about the smallest doable pave width. This ensures that the auger all the time transfers the best amount of fabric to the complete width being paved – even when left and right-hand bends are continually taking on from each other and the bends are extraordinarily tight. This created a observe which met specs completely throughout the complete pave width. Within the course of, the AB 340 TV extending screed assured high quality surfaces, in addition to a excessive diploma of evenness, guaranteeing that go-kart drivers won’t lose contact with the bottom in future.
Vögele materials feeder buffers combine
Supplying combine on the job web site was a problem: it was unattainable for giant vehicles to drive round on the location, so a Vögele MT 3000-2i Offset materials feeder was positioned at a beneficial location near the doorway the place it was in a position to obtain materials from the combo truck.
As quickly as the 2 SUPER 1303-3i machines had been working inside vary of the MT 3000-2i Offset, the fabric feeder used its pivoting conveyor to switch combine to the fabric hoppers of the pavers. In any respect different factors, the asphalt was transferred to wheel loaders which then transported it to the pavers.
