BOMAG Americas’ World of Asphalt Exhibit Highlighted New Equipment, Time-Saving Compaction Technology

 


BOMAG Americas’ exhibit at the World of Asphalt, held March 25-27, 2025, in St. Louis, Missouri, included multiple product launches and compaction technology features that save asphalt contractors time and money on projects. World of Asphalt attendees were the first to get a preview of a new 8’’ paver that is nimble enough for commercial paving projects yet powerful enough to deliver highway-class performance. The exhibit also featured a new asphalt distributor, enabling BOMAG dealers to build deeper relationships with asphalt contractors and be more of a single-source supplier. Helping to improve compaction performance, a range of technologies were also featured on the company’s rollers.

The new BOMAG CR 820 T-2 rubber track paver. This 2.4-m paver features a large 9.1 t hopper capacity for more time paving between truck exchanges, a 173-hp (129 kW) diesel engine that delivers ample power in reserve to push fully loaded trucks up steep grades and a design to help improve visibility. A new operating system for each console provides easy viewing of critical operating functions, gauges, parameters and fault messages for quick troubleshooting at the jobsite to improve serviceability and paver uptime. Equipped with the field-proven Stretch 16 hydraulically extendable screed, the BOMAG CR 820 T-2 paver offers infinitely variable paving widths from 2.4-4.9 m.

New to the BOMAG line offering, the BOMAG BD 2000 asphalt distributor on display featured an automatic burner for efficient heating and intuitive computer-controlled distribution for exceptional accuracy and comfortable, one-person operation. The BD 2000 integrates a 7,570-l insulated tank, and its hydraulically extending/ retracting spray bar features flat nozzles spaced every 102 mm for optimum spray coverage across its 4.8 m maximum width. The flexible distributor boasts a main, 2.3-m bar that extends hydraulically up to 1.2 m on either side to offer infinitely variable spray widths from 2.3 to 4.8 m.

The exhibited BOMAG BW 138 AD-5 tandem vibratory roller is the perfect all-round roller for paving contractors and municipalities. The 1,380-mm wide roller now features standard the intuitive ECONOMIZER compaction measurement system. ECONOMIZER alerts the operator to compaction progress of the soil or asphalt material being compacted, reducing passes and saving time and money. The system requires no calibration to reliably deliver real-time compaction progress. As the degree of compaction increases, more LED lights on the ECONOMIZER light strip illuminate and indicate when optimum compaction is achieved. It also warns of potential over-compaction to prevent aggregate fracturing as well as allows for identification of “soft” spots in the material.

BOMAG’s BW 191 AD-5 AM with ROPS roll-over protection on display boasts the company’s exclusive ASPHALT MANAGER compaction system with infinitely variable amplitude of the front drum. The system enables operators of all skill levels to achieve target compaction every time. The operator needs only to set the layer thickness, and ASPHALT MANAGER does the rest. The vectoring drum changes vibration from true vertical to true horizontal as asphalt stiffness increases to avoid over- and under-compaction and saves time, fuel and wear on the machine.

The BOMAG World of Asphalt display also included a host of other equipment models to fill virtually any asphalt contractor’s needs.

They include:

  • BOMAG CR 1030 T-2 highway class paver with VERSA 20 front-mount screed
  • BM 2200/65 cold planer 2-meter class mill
  • BM1200/35-2 cold planer with maximum 13-in (330.2-mm) milling depth
  • BW 28 RH pneumatic tire roller with large ballast compartment
  • BW 120 AD e-5 Electric light tandem roller with electric drive

As the worldwide compaction and roadbuilding experts for soil and asphalt applications, BOMAG has a staff of 2,500 employees to support its global dealer network of more than 400 dealers. A broad range of product segments consist of asphalt pavers and milling machines, reclaimer/stabilizers, single drum and tandem vibratory rollers, pneumatic tired rollers, landfill refuse compactors and a full range of light compaction equipment resulting in BOMAG sales revenue of US$1.1 billion ($1.58 billion) in 2023.
