BOMAG Expands ePerformance Line with the BW 100 AD e-5 Tandem Roller

BOMAG, a leading manufacturer of compaction equipment, has extended its ePerformance line of light electric compaction equipment with the introduction of the BW 100 AD e-5 tandem roller. This battery-powered compactor offers comparable performance to its diesel counterpart and is designed for soil and asphalt compaction as well as patchwork. With a compact width of 39 inches, it provides efficient compaction capabilities for various applications.

Efficient Electric Performance

The BW 100 AD e-5 tandem roller is equipped with two electric motors, one for movement and steering, and the other for vibration. During operation, only the travel motor is active, ensuring optimal power utilization. BOMAG incorporates a 48-volt electrical system that harnesses mechanical energy lost during braking and converts it back into electrical energy. The manufacturer claims that the batteries can store sufficient charge for a full day’s use. Additionally, an ECO function helps conserve battery life, enhancing the operational efficiency of the roller.

Flexible Charging Options

The compactor features permanently installed batteries that can be conveniently charged using a standard wall outlet, CEE plug, or domestic socket at either 230 or 400 volts. BOMAG offers optional adapters for charging cables, providing flexibility and ease of use in different charging scenarios.

Upgraded Features and Operator Comfort

In addition to its electric performance, the BW 100 AD e-5 tandem roller incorporates several features aimed at optimizing operation and operator comfort. It includes an articulated joint for improved maneuverability, wind-protected spray nozzles, and LED spotlights that illuminate the drum’s working area. BOMAG has also introduced a soft response travel lever, a compact steering wheel, and excellent visibility of the construction area and drum edges to enhance the operator’s experience. The roller is equipped with the Economizer compaction measuring system, featuring a 5-inch digital display that provides real-time information such as speed, energy usage, asphalt temperature, compaction progress, operation hours, battery life, time frame, and compaction strength.

Ideal for Urban and Ecologically Conscious Applications

BOMAG positions the BW 100 AD e-5 tandem roller as the ideal solution for indoor, urban, and environmentally conscious settings where emission and noise reduction are quite important. The electric roller’s operation minimizes noise pollution and eliminates exhaust emissions, aligning with sustainability goals. Also, it should be noted that the roller’s simplified design contributes to reduced maintenance requirements, as it lacks complex components like gearboxes or gasoline filters that need regular replacement.

BOMAG Telematic for Real-Time Monitoring

Owners of the BW 100 AD e-5 tandem roller can take advantage of BOMAG Telematic, a telematics solution that provides access to real-time location and operational data via smartphones, tablets, or computers. This feature helps to enable owners to monitor the roller’s service history, receive automated reports on metrics such as idle time, and identify optimization opportunities for improved efficiency.

With the introduction of the BW 100 AD e-5 tandem roller, BOMAG expands its ePerformance line of electric compaction equipment, offering comparable performance to diesel models. This compact and capable compactor is suitable for various compaction applications and emphasizes eco-consciousness through emission and noise reduction. With user-friendly features and the convenience of BOMAG Telematic for real-time monitoring, the BW 100 AD e-5 tandem roller presents a compelling solution for operators seeking electric-powered compaction equipment.
