BOMAG’s BVP 10/30 single direction vibratory plate offers high performance in a compact frame

172 BOMAG claims high performance for its new single direction vibratory plate. The compact BVP 10/30 unit is said to be the lightest compactor in its class according to the firm. Weighing just over 46kg, the unit has been designed for easy transport vehicle loading and unloading. Its narrow plate is just 300mm wide and allows it to be used for compacting confined spaces and right up to corners. Despite its compact design however the unit can deliver a compaction force of 10kN, suiting it to duties in earthworks and asphalt patching projects.

    Bomag is introducing a new generation, radio remote-controlled multi-purpose compactor. The BMP 8500 compactor is said to be powerful and robust and features an improved radio control system over previous models.

    The firm says that using radio control offers better performance than infrared systems, which allows multiple units to operate simultaneously onsite. Should a remote control unit go missing, a new unit can be paired without the need for special knowledge or tools.

  • Asphalt and bitumen - testing for performance
    February 29, 2012
    The stresses placed on modern asphalt and bitumen means that specialist equipment is essential to make sure performance specifications are met. As road traffic increases at a rapid pace and road safety becomes a priority issue, asphalt is put under increasingly higher stresses. For example, road surfaces are subject to compression, flexural tensions and tangential stresses: internal friction, depending on the aggregates, and the cohesion, guaranteed by bitumen's composition, are the two main properties whic
