BOMAG introducing new rubber tyred compactor

BOMAG is introducing its new BW 28 RH pneumatic roller. Key benefits include easily adjustable ballasting, an ergonomic cabin and high productivity. The front end of the BW 28 RH is designed to allow the operator a clear view of the wheel surface. This allows the operator to check whether the wheels are sufficiently moist so that no bitumen sticks to them. The clear view of the work area improves comfort for the operator and also boosts efficiency as it is possible to work more precisely to asphalt edges

172 BOMAG is introducing its new BW 28 RH pneumatic roller. Key benefits include easily adjustable ballasting, an ergonomic cabin and high productivity. The front end of the BW 28 RH is designed to allow the operator a clear view of the wheel surface. This allows the operator to check whether the wheels are sufficiently moist so that no bitumen sticks to them.

The clear view of the work area improves comfort for the operator and also boosts efficiency as it is possible to work more precisely to asphalt edges or joints. In addition, the counter-opening cab doors assist viewing in all directions. Together with the new frame design and the vision-optimised cab and ROPS structures, they also contribute to improved all-round visibility, enabling safe work at a high quality and ergonomic level.

The BW 28 RH is said to set new standards in versatility making it an all-rounder for every construction site, due to the range of ballasting options offered by the pneumatic tyred roller. It is available with finely graduated operating weights from 8.6-28tonnes works and can be adjusted quickly and simply to the respective task with steel and concrete slabs that easily slide in or out. In addition, the 3m³-capacity ballast compartment can be used for custom ballasting. By changing the operating weight, it is possible to first compact the base layer and then the binder or wearing course of a road, or process construction sites with different applications – all with just one machine. The BW 28 RH can be adapted quickly and easily to the conditions. The machine is also said to be user-friendly with high cab comfort and improved ergonomics.

Overall the machine is said to be able to handle a wide variety of tasks in earthworks and asphalt paving, the compaction of stabilised soil layers and rolling chippings on surface treatment work.

    Improved surface quality and improved machine design are key trends in the asphalt paving sector, Mike Woof reports There is a big difference in asphalt paving techniques in North America and Europe. In North America, the need to construct long stretches of highway quickly resulted in wide pavers offering high throughput capacity, with compaction equipment then being used to achieve the required density of the various courses. In Europe's highway construction projects, distances tend to be shorter and contr
