Vogele HR500E Screed
The new HR500E electrically heated, rear-mounted extension screed from Vögele America has a unique box frame design with multiple horizontally positioned guide tubes. This provides maximum rigidity and strength to ensure zero flexing, even at the widest paving width. The exclusive pre-strike off positioned in front of the extension screed provides a consistent rolling head of material required for uniform mat texture, density and smoothness. The rigid sloping base design allows each end of the extension screed base to slope independently for maximum alignment with the main screed, resulting in a more consistent and smooth mat.
