BOMAG is offering innovative compaction option
172 Bomag is now offering its tandem rollers for asphalt applications with a novel tangential oscillation system. This technology is being rolled out to the North American market on the new BW 161 ADO-4 tandem roller. 

This innovative exciter system now offers increased compaction productivity. According to the firm, co-ordination of the exciter system to drum weight ratios is the key to Bomag’s tangential oscillation system and this technology can be used on bridge structures, in close proximity to buildings, and for finishing applications.  With TanGO always directed horizontally, it maintains continuous ground contact and efficient compaction is often evident after a few passes.  The interaction of TanGO oscillation from the rear drum and traditional vibration from the front drum provides advantages on difficult to compact asphalt mixes.

In addition to the new Bomag compaction system, the firm is also exhibiting two Cedarapids asphalt pavers and one CMI reclaimer, models that were bought following the firm’s Deal with 1222 Terex during last year.

  • BOMAG reinvents tangential oscillation with TanGO
    January 6, 2017
    TanGO, a new tangential oscillation system, has been launched at bauma 2013 by BOMAG. The company has reassessed many details of the well-established exciter system in terms of both technical and cost-effective aspects, and optimised it in key areas. BOMAG oscillation makes use of the physical laws of vibration generation to best effect. The careful coordination of exciter system to drum weight ratios is the basis for the tangential oscillation. The result is clearly improved power for vibration generation

    BOMAG’s BM2000/60-2 milling machine is the firm’s top-of-the-range planer, aimed at high production applications. Designed for highway milling applications the machine features a 2m wide cutting drum and 168 teeth in standard configuration, although other tooth spacing can be used depending on the application and duty. The BM2000/6-2 can cut to depths from 0-320mm deep and offers cutting advance rates of 0-40m/min, depending on the application, while power comes from a diesel rated at 440kW. Weighing in at
