technology
designed control panel supports the driver
with automatic functions and operating
aids, while the controls have been clearly
arranged for easy operation.
An operator is able to change between
three application-specific settings — Eco/
Torque, Universal, and Speed — for the
milling speed, by using a single three-
stage switch on the front panel. Set for the
required milling depth, the milling drum
always works in the optimum torque range
and travel speed is automatically maximised
to deliver the best surface quality, fastest
possible work rate, reduced consumption
and minimised wear.
“Since launching globally in 2013, Bomag
has over 100 cold milling units working
worldwide, and the introduction by Bell is in
direct response to our customer needs. We
are excited by the opportunity to broaden
our road construction product offering and
thereby strengthen our commitment to our
customers to improve their operational and
maintenance costs in a highly competitive
market,” says Hanekom. n
Compact design and manoeuvrability make
these Bomag machines well suited for the
removal of road and floor pavements under
confined conditions.
The compact Bomag BM1000/35 cold planer has a working width of 1 000mm and is capable of
milling up to 3 000m 2 per day.
