At the beginning of this year Wirtgen celebrated the market launch of its completely redesigned generation of compact milling machines. Technologies from the F-series large milling machines have now been integrated in the W 100 Fi, W 120 Fi and W 130 Fi compact milling machines.

Wirtgen also will be showing another innovation at bauma 2022 — for the first time, compact class machines can be fitted with a comfort cabin. This not only increases the safety of machine operators, but also the comfort of their workplace, according to the manufacturer.

Cold Milling Machine With

Environmentally Friendly Engine Technology

The front loaders with working widths of 3.3, 3.9 and 4.2 ft. feature the latest and currently most environmentally friendly engine technology compliant with EU Stage 5 / U.S. Tier IV Final exhaust emission standards. The diesel engine delivers a rated output of 355 hp. (265 kW).

Wirtgen and John Deere have precisely tuned the torque characteristic of the engine to meet the specific needs of the cold milling process. The engine already delivers sufficient torque at engine speeds as low as 1,200 rpm, achieves maximum torque at 1,500 rpm and offers a very wide working speed range of 1,200 to 2,100 rpm. As a result, the machines use significantly less fuel, even when delivering the highest productivity and milling at the maximum depth of 13 in. Mill Assist, WPT

Also onboard are the digital assistance systems Mill Assist, Wirtgen Performance Tracker (WPT) and the Level Pro Active leveling system, which have already delivered customer benefit in the F-series large milling machines. Now, customers can look forward to the benefits of high milling performance, maximum efficiency and clear documentation in the compact milling machine class. Mill Assist for Increased Milling Efficiency

In automatic mode, Mill Assist selects the operating strategy with the most favorable balance between milling performance and operating costs. This increases milling performance while simultaneously reducing not only diesel fuel, water and pick consumption, but also CO₂ emissions.

Mill Assist automatically controls the engine speed and simultaneously provides a wide range of usable milling drum speeds for an enormous spectrum of applications. The low-speed range enables significant reductions in fuel consumption and minimizes pick wear. The upper speed range enables the achievement of an optimal milling pattern, even in the case of higher area performance rates.

The operator can additionally select one of three operating strategies for each milling job: “ECO”, “performance-optimized” or “milling pattern quality”. This makes it possible, for example, to pre-define the required milling pattern quality incrementally from coarse to very fine at the press of a button.

Wide Range of Applications, Maximum Flexibility

Compact dimensions and optimized machine weight for easy transportation predestine these machines for a multitude of different construction site scenarios. Whether on highways, main roads, parking lots or inner-city streets — these high-performance machines are ideal for a broad spectrum of applications. Due to their outstanding productivity, they are ideal for surface layer rehabilitation and complete pavement removal on construction sites of all sizes. Due to the ability to quickly change the FCS milling drums with different pick spacings and working widths, the compact milling machines from Wirtgen also can be rapidly reconfigured on-site to adapt to changing applications. Precise Leveling With LEVEL PRO ACTIVE Already proven in the F-series large milling machines, the LEVEL PRO ACTIVE leveling system has now been made available for the compact class milling machines. Developed by Wirtgen especially for cold milling machines, the leveling system features informative operating panels and is intuitive and easy to use. All connected sensors and measured values are clearly displayed on the operating panel to make the work processes as efficient as possible. The system is fully integrated in the control system of the cold milling machine and, as essential machine functions are directly interconnected, provides a high level of automation. The system also offers many automatic and additional functions that make the operator’s job easier, for instance, automatic lifting for driving over manhole covers.

Cockpit Also Available With Enclosed Cabin

The newly developed operator’s cabin is characterized by ergonomically designed control elements with high-quality haptics and maximum ease of operation. In addition to the slender wasp waist of the machine, up to five on-board cameras provide an ideal view of all important working areas.

The new 5-in. control screen in the multifunctional armrest displays all machine-relevant information. The access ladder to the cabin at the rear of the machine is fitted with an automatic height adjustment system. This assures that the machine operator can easily and safely access the platform in all working situations.

At bauma 2022, Wirtgen is showing another innovation in the compact milling machine class — a completely enclosed comfort cabin. It protects the operator against typical problems such as noise and dust on the construction site and provides ideal working conditions in all kinds of weather.

Vögele will be presenting four new miniroad pavers at bauma 2022 that are able to pave widths ranging from .8 to 5.9 ft. Both the wheeled paver and the tracked paver will be available with optional diesel or batteryelectric drive systems. The new machines round off the lower end of Vögele’s wide range of asphalt paving products.

“The demand for flexible and sustainable solutions at small construction sites is high and our view is that it will continue to increase. Our new mini pavers will enable customers to complete small paving jobs quickly, cost-effectively, sustainably and therefore profitably,” said Marcio Cavalcanti Happle, head of sales, local marketing and product/customer support at Vögele.

Wide Range of Applications

Their compact dimensions and variable paving widths make the MINI 500 (diesel) and MINI 500e (battery-electric) tracked pavers as well as the MINI 502 (diesel) and MINI 502e (battery-electric) wheeled pavers ideally suitable for use in smallscale construction p r o j e c t s

that include constructing cycle and pedestrian paths, paving between railroad tracks as well as repair work in small inner-city sites, which are often characterized by their narrow working spaces.

The standard screed working width is 2.6 ft. and it can be enlarged up to 4.4 ft. hydraulically. The minimum paving width can be reduced down to .8 ft., or the width can be built up to a maximum of 5.9 ft. using bolt-on extensions.

Compact transport dimensions of 105 by 62.4 in. and low weights of between 2,205 and 3,307 lb. (depending on the model) allow for easy transport. A narrow turning radius makes the four wheeled or tracked pavers extremely agile. E-Power: Local Emission-Free

Asphalt Paving With

MINI 500e, MINI 502e

Tenders are increasingly defining stricter emission requirements for construction projects. The battery-electrical drive systems used in the MINI 500e and the MINI 502e make them ideal for local emission-free asphalt paving.

The Vögele electric mini pavers, marked with the suffix “e”, both provide a sustainable production system when used in conjunction with the likewise battery-electrical tandem rollers from the Hamm compact line.

Sales Launch in Europe

The European market launch of the diesel-powered models is planned for the first half of 2023 and the launch of the EPower machines will follow afterwards. European distribution will be handled by the Wirtgen Group’s sales and service networks.

Cooperation With C. M. S.r.l.

The new Vögele MINI series has been developed and will be manufactured for Vögele by C. M. S.r.l., an Italian company with more than 40 years’ manufacturing experience with roadbuilding equipment. “We are very much looking forward to cooperating with the leading road paver manufacturer.
