BOMAG launches new BW211-50 single-drum rollers

BOMAG’s new BW211-50 Series single-drum vibratory rollers are designed for efficient compaction of granular and cohesive soils, making them ideal for numerous site preparation and road construction applications.

The BW211-50 Series consists of the BW211D-50 smooth drum roller and the BW211PD-50 padfoot roller. Each model is powered by a Tier 4i compliant, 120-horsepower Deutz diesel engine that features ECOMODE, a system that aids the operator in conserving fuel.

Dual vibration frequencies and amplitudes ensure compaction performance is maximized on a variety of soil surfaces. Both rollers deliver frequencies of 1,800 and 1,980 vibrations per minute (vpm) across an 84-inch operating width. The BW211D-50 generates 53,100 pounds of centrifugal force in high amplitude and 32,141 pounds in low amplitude, while the BW211PD-50 provides respective centrifugal forces of 61,825 pounds and 37,434 pounds.

Maintenance on the BW211-50 Series is simplified by a polymer hood that opens vertically for quick access to the engine, hydraulics and all service points. Steering cylinder pins, travel bearings and a maintenance-free bolt-on articulation joint eliminate daily grease requirements, while the engine air intake is positioned high on the roller to increase filter life and reduce overall noise levels.
