2 Taking versatility to a new level Steel swivel or rubber chute Legs pivot to adjust to site conditions Machine post with hydraulic lift cylinder for height adjustment Concrete feeding system in belt conveyor or auger conveyor design offering various adjustment options Receiving hopper for freshly delivered concrete Hydraulically driven, separately height-adjustable and steerable track units Heightadjustable, horizontally telescoping trimmer The compact SP 15 is a true multipurpose unit The SP 15 slipform paver sets new standards as a multipurpose machine for offset concrete paving. The compact machine impresses with its heavy-duty design for tough day-to-day operation, exceptional maneuverability and great ease of operation. It is the ideal choice for pouring offset profiles and for sidewalk up to 6 (1.8m). The SP 15 owes its broad range of capabilities to the highly flexible arrangement of its mold and track units; the great variety of setup options makes the machine adaptable to most jobsite conditions, resulting in unrivalled operating efficiency.

3 Weather protection umbrella Main components of the compact slipform paver A striking array of features Clearly structured control panel, suitable for fitting left or right Walk-through operator s platform offering a good view of both the paver and the construction site No problem: highly accurate paving of radii with the SP 15 Horizontally telescoping rear track unit Quick-change mold mounting system for curb and gutter profiles Offset mold can be mounted left or right on the machine and telescoped to both sides Molds of most diverse profiles can be mounted on the left or right side of the paver without the need for timeconsuming machine conversions. The two front track units can be chosen in pivot design, while the rear track unit can be chosen with mechanical or hydraulic adjustment to either side. The flexibility of the SP 15 is enhanced tremendously by options such as trimmer, concrete feeding via belt conveyor or auger conveyor, and electric or hydraulic vibrators. The compact overall dimensions of the slipform paver allow for easy transport. 2 // 3

4 Comfort and ergonomics on the operator s platform Relaxed operator high performance guaranteed The operator s comfort is a key factor impacting the efficient operation of construction machinery especially in the long term. Operator comfort is made possible by the ergonomic design of the spacious, walk-through operator s platform: the anti-vibration mounted walkway minimizes the impact of machine vibrations on the operator, and the soundproofing included in the paver s standard package provides extremely quiet operation. Depending on the requirements of the job at hand, the control panel can be positioned on the left or right, thus offering excellent visibility of the machine, paving process and surroundings on both sides. Altogether, the SP 15 provides all the features required for stress-free, productive work.

5 The control panel can be mounted on the left or right side quickly and easily Ease of operation facilitates high productivity The convenient access ladder can be mounted in various positions at the rear of the machine Control panel with multifunctional screen: controlling the SP 15 is easy thanks to its intuitive operating concept In ECO mode, the SP 15 s quiet engine runs at optimal RPM, saving fuel while optimizing performance and torque. The easy, logical operation and clearly structured workplace enable the operator to fully focus on pouring concrete. The graphic screen is mounted in the center of the control panel the multifunctional display informs the operator of all relevant operating parameters on an event-driven basis. The SP 15 operating system is extremely intuitive. Operators require little training to become fully productive. 4 // 5

6 Reliable concrete delivery is vital for achieving high productivity Flexibility is the key A steady, uniform concrete supply is crucial for achieving excellent results. To meet this requirement, the SP 15 can be equipped with either a belt or an auger conveyor. Both conveyors are hydraulically adjustable in all directions for adaptation to site conditions and can feed concrete to left or right side mounted molds. The auger conveyor can be adjusted to steeper inclines up to 45 degrees. It can also act as a material buffer for radius work or between trucks.

7 Reliable, uniform concrete delivery SP 15 with belt conveyor SP 15 with auger conveyor Hydraulic cylinders enable the conveyor s slope and longitudinal position to be changed with the push of a button The SP 15 is optionally equipped with belt conveyor or auger conveyor Concrete discharge: the chute, which is made of solid rubber or steel, can be accurately positioned above the hopper of the concrete mold Because the auger holds large quantities of concrete, paving can continue between concrete mixer loads. Marks in favor of the belt conveyor are high conveying speed, good accessibility, as well as quick and easy cleaning. The belt conveyor is optionally available in hydraulic folding design to allow transport of the SP 15 on smaller transport vehicles. The charge end of the conveyor is capable of accepting large quantities of freshly delivered concrete. 6 // 7

8 Position the mold exactly as required by job site conditions The mold can be telescoped hydraulically by up to 28 (700 mm) Changing the offset mold from the left to the right side is affected quickly and easily on site Hydraulic height adjustment by up to 3 3 (1,000 mm) [additional mechanical adjustment: 11 (280 mm)] Molds can be mounted on either side The SP 15 guarantees maximum flexibility whatever the application. In order to fully respond to specific site conditions at all times, the mold can be mounted on the right or left side of the paver. A telescoping mount (mechanical or hydraulic) enables the mold to be shifted to the required horizontal position allowing the paving of profiles either within or outside the machine dimensions. Height adjustment is affected by the paver s lifting cylinders, offering a maximum offset paving height of 4 3 (1,300 mm), which is unique in this machine class. The maximum offset paving width is limited to 6 (1,800 mm) in the standard equipment package, but special molds can be built to customer specification.

9 As easy as that: lower machine, drive forward, secure and go! Intelligent quick-change mold mounting system Hydraulic clamping tools secure the mold at the mere push of a button The intelligent, hydraulically operated quick-change mold mounting system enables the molds to be changed quickly and with little effort. Molds to be used with the SP 15 are available in most diverse standardized designs, or are built to customer specification. Molds are available for concrete paving in both offset and inset applications. Up to five vibrators (hydraulic or electric) with adjustable vibrating frequencies are positioned in the mold to ensure perfect compaction of the concrete mix. 8 // 9

10 Extraordinary maneuverability for extraordinary results The two front track units can be positioned separately by means of pivoting legs to run as close as possible to the paving profile while ensuring the stability of the machine The three steerable track units enable the SP 15 to perform agile turning maneuvers on its own axis. This gets you into, and out of, tight spots thereby reducing costly hand work The rear track unit can be hydraulically telescoped in horizontal direction a feature enabling it Paving tight radii with the greatest ease Veteran slipformers know how important jobsite mobility and maneuverability is. The steering system of the SP 15 has been designed to fulfill precisely this requirement: each track unit can be turned at extreme angles, which makes tight radius work smoother and more precise. The spinning and churning associated with most machines in tight radii are eliminated. Additionally, both front tracks can be repositioned hydraulically, providing the SP 15 with excellent stability in even difficult conditions. A special highlight: the steering geometry is monitored by an on-board computer system to ensure optimum driving in bends.

11 Precise trimming from the world leader in milling technology The trimmer offers various adjustment options via hydraulic cylinders Even base for a perfect paving process The spreading auger is used to convey the milled material towards the periphery of the machine Trimmer and spreading auger provide optimum preparation of the base The design of the trimmer unit is based on the unmatched expertise gained in several decades of experience in milling technology. The trimmer, which is fitted with cutting tools arranged in a helical pattern, accurately sets grade for maximum concrete yield. The trimmer s slope, as well as horizontal and vertical positions are all hydraulically adjustable. The trimmer can readily be converted to different milling widths. 10 // 11
