The electric roller is designed for night time work or construction sites in cities where noise and emissions are an issue. Its 39.4-inch-wide drums rotate at 3,900/3,336 vibrations per minute with an amplitude of 0.020 inches.

Modern combi-roller

The new BW 120 SLC-5 combination roller from BOMAG, which has 1.97-inch crab steering for compacting around buildings and other structures, will be on display for diesel-engine ride-on rollers. Moreover, it incorporates Intelligent Vibration Control, which alerts the operator when the ideal level of compaction has been reached. The roller has four smooth rear tyres and a 47.2-inch front vibratory steel drum.

Robomag 2

With its Robomag 2, BOMAG will present a glimpse into the future with its new and existing machines. The company's BW 177 D single smooth-drum compactor serves as the foundation for the idea roller. It has a compaction width of 66.5 inches and is outfitted with sensors, GPS, and LiDAR (light detection and ranging) to direct its autonomous operation. In addition, according to BOMAG, it incorporates a remote control for completing manual movement patterns and loading and unloading the roller.

Compaction technology

Many of BOMAG's rollers will be on display at the show with the most recent compaction technologies. BOMAP Connect is a digital network compaction control solution for monitoring all compaction equipment on a jobsite. According to BOMAG, Asphalt Manager automatically matches vibration direction to the travel direction of the roller and adjusts compaction force to the thickness and temperature of the asphalt mat in order to prevent ripples in the mat.

Asphalt Pro is a cloud-based planning program that can do such things as calculate mix requirements, communicate with the asphalt plant, determine the fastest route to the construction site, and pass process changes to plant personnel and truck drivers.

The ConExpo 2023 booth for BOMAG will be located in Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center to be held from March 14-18. During the ConExpo, BOMAG plans to exhibit more than 40 machines including an electric tandem-drum compactor and the autonomous Robomag 2 roller. This will be the company's largest trade fair display to date. According to the company, BOMAG’s new BW 100 AD e-5 tandem roller runs on two rechargeable batteries to power the two electric motors that independently control vibration and travel while only one motor is needed for traveling, which saves on battery life.
