Bomag Launches New Generation Of Large Cold Planers

Bomag launches its new BM/65 series of cold planers in fall 2021. With a CECE operating weight of only 27 tonnes, the BM 2000/65 is the lightest planer currently available in the 2-metre class. Its low weight achieved by the special lightweight design and the shorter conveyor belt now make the planers even more flexible to use. When it comes to efficiency, ease of operation and work safety, the new generation of planers features numerous innovative details.

The productivity of a cold planer depends heavily on the perfect interaction of all components. The operator is at the centre of the process and has to confidently monitor everything from the control station – from the cutting edge to the conveyor belt. In the new BM/65, an unobstructed view has become an essential part of the construction: The front contour's slim design and the position of the operator's platform make it easier to work precisely and safely. The flat rear profile optimised for visibility also increases safety when manoeuvring. The obscured area behind the machine can be viewed seamlessly with the camera system. The control platform itself can be moved steplessly by up to 200 mm, allowing the operator to easily keep an eye on the right cutting edge and the side plate.
