Particularly important on the construction site and when milling: The machine operator must always have the decisive parameters in view and be able to intervene quickly at any time. All the important data is displayed clearly and easy to read on a 7" full-colour display. With the new generation of BOMAG planers, changing settings or selecting sensors is never more than three clicks away.

This adds more cutting tools. Due to the high density of the cutting tools, fine milling creates a very fine surface texture and a low thickness up to 40 mm / 1.57 inch. Fine milling drums are used to increase the skid resistance of smooth road surfaces which have been “polished” by traffic. They can at the same time remove light ruts and uneven areas. In addition, these drums can be used to prepare sites for laying thin layers, to remove road markings and for fine milling of floor surfaces inside buildings.

The BMS 15 L holder system is slimmer than other systems. The effect is a lower resistance which reduces fuel consumption and improves the advance travel rate.

By using the Ion Dust Shield, the fine particulate pollution produced during milling can be reduced by more than 80%. Unlike conventional dust extraction systems, the fine particulate matter is not simply extracted in the working area and blown out again on the conveyor belt, but bound by means of intelligent technology. This causes the fine particulate matter to clump permanently into coarse particles which can then be transported away with the milled material.

Cutting power per tool increases and pulverised material fragments are larger. Because of the reduced crushing effect in the milled material, energy is saved which can lead to a faster travel speed or lower fuel consumption. At the same time, the cutter has lower wear because the faster advance rate means the impact time of the cutting tools is reduced and they generate less heat. POWER DRUMS not only offer milling performance which is up to 30% higher than standard milling drums, they also provide lower wear and reduced fuel consumption. The line spacing of the cutters on the POWER DRUM is relatively wide and the surface structure created by milling is rough and coarse. POWER DRUMS are used to plane hard materials and for complete removal of asphalt pavements.

They can be used for multiple applications on a variety of milling jobs. The standard milling drum can be used for complete removal of whole road surfaces as well as for planing individual layers. The applications for standard planers extend from the removal of small sections of road (patches) to major surfacing work and road repairs, including milling duct trenches. The milled surface is an ideal base for laying new asphalt layers.
