BOMAG BM 500/15-2 & BM 600/15-2 Compact Cold Planers

Available in 3- and 4-wheel designs, the new 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.

• 15.7-in. wide conveyor offers up to a 111.2 y3/hr discharge rate and hydraulically folds for transport
• 140.8-hp diesel engine meeting stringent Tier 4 Final emissions standards powers the new BOMAG BM 500/15-2 and BM 600/15-2 cold planers
• BM 500/15-2 offers a maximum milling width of 19.7 in. while the BM 600/15-2 a maximum width of 23.6 in.
• Both machines offer a minimum milling radius of just 9.6 in. for efficient milling around obstructions like manhole covers
• Suspension seat with optional heating boasts a 45° slewing angle for superior visibility to the left cutting edge and front/rear of the machine
• 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
• 7-in. full graphic color display offers intuitive operation and leveling control for efficient mill set-up
• 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 for 3-wheel and 6.2 mph for 4-wheel configurations
• Maximum milling speed for 4-wheel configurations is increased by more than 25% for both models to significantly improve machine productivity
• 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. with all featuring standard quick-exchange designs
• The machines’ new super-light conveyor design features an increased 30° swiveling angle in both directions for more efficient truck loading
• Each model features improved front-to-rear weight balance, enhancing traction
• 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
