Overview

Quality Paving

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.

Multiple language options, two-speed extender control, and ratio adjustment for the augers and conveyors simplify operation

High Quality Results

Enhanced tamper-bar and deflector plate profiles provide smooth flow to the screed plates for excellent paving results.

Advanced Technology

Pave Start Assistant saves set-up profiles for repeatable use on future job sites, simply activate the profile for quick, single person setup

Features At A Glance

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")

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

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 saves set-up profiles for repeatable use on future job sites, simply activate the profile for quick, single person setup

Setup features are located in the left screed display and can also be viewed through right screed display and tractor displays

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

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

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
