Asphalt Manager 2 is also available as a third choice on the latest generation of articulated tandem rollers
BOMAG has unveiled three new articulated tandem rollers, the 5th generation of its tandem roller range. The three new models, the BW 161 ADO, BW 161 AD-5 and BW 190 are in the 10-11 tonne range, and which used three compaction systems – double vibration, oscillation and Asphalt Manager 2.
Double vibration is the classic technical solution with two amplitudes for compacting thick or thin layers. The second exciter system is particularly suited for use on bridge structures and close to buildings, as it produces less vibration, and yet compacts efficiently.
Asphalt Manager 2 is also available as a third choice on the latest generation of articulated tandem rollers. The system is a combination of measuring technology and compaction control. The measuring technology determines the Evib value which acts both as a guide to the driver as well as automatically controlling the machine. Unnecessary passes which tend to offer a false sense of security are thus prevented – only the compaction needed is applied. The result is top quality in terms of texture and evenness, and savings in time and money due to the optimum number of passes.
Other machine features include a Ecomode for reduced fuel consumption; the entire hydraulic system is demand-led; and the fan automatically adjusts the cooling capacity to demand, achieving 30% less diesel consumption than conventional machines in the same performance class. The machines arte built with Kubota.
Machine maintenance and servicing is also improved with easy to access service points, thanks to the large engine bonnet at the back of the machine.
