BOMAG is offering a highly productive twin drum asphalt compactor in the shape of its latest BW 206 AD-5 AM. The machine has been redesigned and now features the firm’s sophisticated Asphalt Manager 2 package. According to the firm, this machine meets the need for an advanced asphalt compaction solution. The machine is equipped with a ROPS canopy as standard to suit North American market needs. The sophisticated Asphalt Manager 2 package automatically adjusts compaction forces from vertical to horizontal as mat stiffness increases to prevent over-compaction. Meanwhile an infrared camera is fitted as standard and provides operators with accurate mat temperature data.
