Bomag’s Compact Cold Planers Feature Multiple Upgrades
Available in 3- and 4-wheel designs, the Bomag BM 500/15-2 and BM 600/15-2 compact mills feature a reengineered vibration-isolated operator’s station that improves operator efficiency and productivity. A new suspension seat with optional heating boasts a 45-degree slewing angle for increased visibility to the left cutting edge and front/rear of the machine. The main control console is fully adjustable to fit individual operator preferences and simplified control grouping improves machine operating efficiency.
Machine leveling sensors are now integrated into the side plate cylinders of the new mills. A new 7-in. (17.8-cm) full graphic color display offers intuitive operation and leveling control for efficient mill set-up. The conveyor joystick control has been repositioned for easier access, and it integrates both lifting and lowering functions for faster operation.
Advancements to hydraulic system efficiency boost transport speed to 3.7 mph (6 kmh) for 3-wheel and 6.2 mph (10 kmh) for 4-wheel configurations. Maximum milling speed for 4-wheel configurations is increased by more than 25 percent for both models to significantly improve machine productivity.
The Bomag BM 500/15-2 offers a maximum milling width of 19.7 in. (50 cm) and the BM 600/15-2 a maximum width of 23.6 in. (60 cm). Four extra cutting tools positioned at the left- and right-edge rings plus optimal arrangement of the tools across the
drum delivers uniform, low vibration milling and smooth milled edges. A range of standard, fine, power and trenching drum designs are available in widths from 3.15 to 23.6 in. (8 to 60 cm) with all featuring standard quick-exchange designs.
The machines’ new super-light conveyor design features an increased, 30-degree swiveling angle in both directions for more rates time-saving support brackets and multi-coupling for fast removal in minutes. All conveyor hoses and wiring are now positioned within the frame, reducing the chance of damage and improving machine uptime. A 140.8-hp (105-kW) diesel engine meeting stringent Tier IV Final (Stage V) emissions standards powers the new Bomag BM 500/15-2 and BM 600/15-2 cold planers. Each model features improved front-to-rear weight balance, enhancing traction. Both machines offer a minimum milling radius of just 9.6 in. (24.4 cm) for efficient milling around obstructions like manhole covers.
The machines’ new triple-setting water pump system — sprinkling, high-flow and refill/suction — allows the operator to adjust waterflow as needed to extend intervals between refills. A large plate positioned at the front of the machine delivers enhanced protection to prevent damage to the water tank and hood.

The X-VOCS system is ideal for new plants, and also is easily retrofittable into existing operations, with minimal modifications to the plant, according to the company.
Further, when the X-VOCS technology is coupled with the company’s Blue Smoke Control system, emissions from hot-mix plants can be reduced to nearly zero, providing owners with the means to achieve the highest level of environmental stewardship. Implementation of this technology has been proven to virtually end calls from nearby neighbors regarding odor and visual emissions. Similar to X-VOCS, the Blue Smoke Control system is retrofittable with few plant modifications.

tighter deadlines. This is why we have built a strong and long-term relationship with the Dynapac brand, working with both Anderson and the Dynapac team.
“A great example of how this helps our business is how Dynapac dealer sales manager Sean Engle has helped our team develop our proposition and skills throughout our journey. We have also had great support from the Dynapac and Anderson teams, as we move into using intelligent compaction control. This technology is now available on the Dynapac equipment and in our case training from Topcon Solutions for our operators, has help us quickly get to up to speed using the GPS enabled technology.
“We have also benefitted from great support from the Anderson Equipment Co. team, led by Steve Kenny. This has been a constant throughout all new equipment introductions, demos, walk-arounds and service support. This ongoing relationship helps us get the most out of our machines, using new technologies and equipment to optimise our performance on the job site.
“Equally by keeping our equipment in great condition, we can achieve industryleading uptime, helping us to maintain a competitive advantage.”
As part of the fleet investment, Cobleskill Stone also has opted for an extended warranty program on its new CC5200 VI rollers, working with Anderson to build this into the fleet finance package for the equipment.
“Ever since we started working with Cobleskill Stone over 30 years ago, they have been a real brand advocate,” said Steve Kenney of Anderson. “They love the build quality of the products and together we have developed a strong relationship with the team, who are very proactive in identifying any maintenance required. We also get to know the equipment very well, so we can recommend any preventative maintenance to maintain the high uptime levels they demand.”
Talking about operating the rollers with the latest technology, T’mara Deridder said: “I have been operating the equipment for some time now. What I like is how comfortable and simple it is to control. As I also work on quite busy sites, the visibility from the front and back of the roller is very good, which helps me feel like I can keep other people safe onsite.
“More recently it has been great to learn about the advanced capabilities of the Dynapac CC5200 VI rollers as they support intelligent compaction technology. This comes with a display in the cab that gives me all the information about the job and it is very easy to understand. Having had training on using this 3D technology I now know how to upload the models into the system and how to follow them on the display.
“I particularly like the fact that this technology also visualises the compaction levels reached. For example, I can now see my work in real-time with completed areas highlighted on my in-cab display. It’s certainly the way forward, especially for larger jobs.”
Adding his thoughts on the introduction of intelligent compaction, Moore said: “The move to intelligent compaction was very swift and smooth, as we had already been introduced to the possibility of integrating this technology on Dynapac rollers with Steve Kenny demonstrating the technology. This allowed us to confidently specify the technology within a bid for a key project, which we won.
“As soon as we were awarded the job, Steve and his team very quickly worked with us to coordinate the delivery of the machine, installation of the added sensors and display needed to use the intelligent compaction solution. Having trained our highly experienced operators, we are already delivering all the benefits of a 3D enabled Dynapac machine to our clients.”
Cobleskill Stone has already proven the benefits of the new rollers, and as more work is bid, the company is taking full advantage of the productivity and quality benefits associated with using its Dynapac roller fleet.

Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) senior vice president of government and industry relations Kip Eideberg issued the following statement applauding the Problem Solvers Caucus on its new report of bipartisan policy recommendations to build a strong, successful 21st century infrastructure network for America:
“Americans are ready for a transformational investment in our nation’s infrastructure so we can grow our economy, improve our quality of life and protect our environment for the generations to follow,” said Eideberg.
“The Association of Equipment Manufacturers applauds the 58 Republicans and Democratic members of the Problem Solvers Caucus for putting forward a set of bipartisan and commonsense policy solutions that will address today’s challenges and capture future opportunities.
“President Biden’s American Jobs Plan, bipartisan support in Congress for a surface transportation reauthorization bill, and today’s unveiling of the Rebuilding America’s Infrastructure Report for the 117th Congress by the Problem Solvers Caucus, point to growing momentum for a modern, sustainable and equitable infrastructure for all Americans. We urge the business community and policymakers to put policy ahead of politics and to work together to embrace and advance an affirmative vision for 21st century infrastructure and break free from the same old policies that have failed to move our country forward.”
The Association of Equipment Manufacturers recently joined the Brookings Institution in unveiling a new report outlining a new affirmative vision for U.S. infrastructure titled “Rebuild With Purpose: An Affirmative Vision for 21st Century American Infrastructure.” The Association of Equipment Manufacturers also announced its commitment to a set of national policy priorities to revitalize the infrastructure systems that move the American economy, including fiscal health, resilience, workforce and digitalization.
