SE50 VT Tamper Bar Screed
The Cat® SE50 VT screed utilizes tamper bars and rear-mounted extenders to deliver smooth material flow and increased mat density. Stability, easy set-up, and a versatile paving range make it the perfect match for air-ports, interstates, highways, and many other mid-sized paving applications.
Application Versatility
- Common applications include urban and rural roads, streets, airports, highways, and interstates
- The standard paving range of 2.55 m - 5 m (8' 4" - 16' 4") provides excellent performance when changing paving widths for both urban and highway paving applications
- Simple, bolt-on extensions offer a maximum paving width of 8 m (26' 3")
Simple Operation
- Operating displays can be tailored to specific language requirements with multiple options available
- Exclusive 2-speed, proportional extender control provides smooth adjustment when transitioning paving widths
- Screed operating consoles are equipped with ratio adjustment for the augers and conveyors, providing the ability to modify material flow
- Optional power controls for extension height enables operators to quickly manage mat quality
- Trailing edge screed plate adjusters help maintain an even plane across the width of the screed in order to enhance paving quality and extend screed plate life
Smooth Material Flow
- Enhanced tamper-bar and deflector plate profiles provide smooth flow to the screed plates
- Screed plate depths of 324 mm (12.75") on both the main and extenders provide stability and good mat textures
- The heated end gate option helps prevent material from sticking for better edge profiles and joint matching capability
Pave Start Assistant
- Pave Start Assistant saves set-up profiles for repeatable use on future job sites, simply activate the profile for quick, single person setup
- Set-up preferences include: tamper speed, tow-point height, screed heat temperature, paving speed, paving width, paving depth, crown, extender height (power option), screed assist, and screed locking features
- Setup features are located in the left screed display and can also be viewed through right screed display and tractor displays
Quick Heat, Even Distribution
- Tractor integrated generator delivers fast, 15-minute screed plate heating for quick starts
- Electric heating system with zone monitoring helps ensure even heat distribution and smooth asphalt textures while also allowing heating to continue in the event of a temperature sensor failure
Pendent Control Option
- Manual overrides and pause function capability for each auger and each conveyor are available to match changes in material flow requirements
- Optional power height functions assist with profile
- Automatic Grade Control activation provides flexibility when working on the outer edge of the screed
Grade Control Option
- Factory-integrated leveling system that helps remove irregularities from the surface and control mat thickness for increased production, lower operating costs, and higher profitability
- User-friendly system with text-based displays, split screen-mode, and on-the-go sensor selection
- Precise control driven by 10-point auto-calibration, true averaging with 5 transducers in each sonic sensor, and cross-coupling feature that maintains slope requirements more consistently when changing elevation
