BOMAG Americas’ Exhibit at World of Asphalt 2025 to Showcase New Equipment

Anticipating World of Asphalt 2025, March 25-27, BOMAG Americas has announced the product launches and compaction technology features that it will be showcasing at its booth. Displayed at exhibit #1932, BOMAG Americas will have a 4,200 ft2 display. At the show, BOMAG will be unveiling its new 8-ft. paver – nimble enough for commercial paving projects.

Expanding BOMAG’s asphalt paving, milling, and compaction line, the exhibit will also feature 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 will be featured on the company’s exhibited rollers.

Among the Booth Highlights

World of Asphalt attendees are the first to get a preview of the new BOMAG CR 820 T-2 rubber track paver. This 8-ft (2.4-m) paver features a large 10-ton (9.1 tonnes) 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 Stretch 16 hydraulically extendable screed, the BOMAG CR 820 T-2 paver offers infinitely variable paving widths from 8-16 ft. (2.4-4.9 m).

New to the BOMAG line offering, the BOMAG BD 2000 asphalt distributor on display features an automatic burner for efficient heating and intuitive computer-controlled distribution for exceptional accuracy and comfortable, one-person operation. The BD 2000 integrates a 2,000-gal (7,570-l) insulated tank, and its hydraulically extending/ retracting spray bar features flat nozzles spaced every 4 in (102 mm) for optimum spray coverage across its 15.7-ft maximum width. The flexible distributor has a main, 7.5-ft (2.3-m) bar that extends hydraulically up to 4.1 ft (1.2 m) on either side to offer infinitely variable spray widths from 7.5 to 15.7 ft (2.3 to 4.8 m). BOMAG Americas Inc.

The exhibited BOMAG BW 138 AD-5 tandem vibratory roller is designed for paving contractors and municipalities. The 54.3-in. (1,380-mm) wide roller now features standard the intuitive ECONOMIZER compaction measurement system. ECONOMIZER alerts the operator to the compaction progress of the soil or asphalt material being compacted, reducing passes and saving time and money. The system requires no calibration to 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 the identification of “soft” spots in the material.

BOMAG’s BW 191 AD-5 AM with ROPS roll-over protection on display has the company’s 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.
