BOMAG has unveiled its new BW 177 BVO-5 PL single drum roller, designed to offer high efficiency on a variety of construction projects. This machine is part of BOMAG's roller performance line, and it brings advanced technology and features to meet the demands of small to medium-sized construction sites. The BW 177 BVO-5 PL is equipped with a dual pump system and a self-locking differential, allowing it to tackle steep terrains with a 60% gradeability in both forward and reverse. This makes it perfect for working on difficult slopes.
One of the standout features of the BW 177 BVO-5 PL roller is its ability to switch between three different compaction modes: high amplitude, low amplitude, and oscillation. These modes make the roller suitable for various types of soil compaction. High amplitude is ideal for tougher materials like rock fill, while low amplitude is used for more delicate compaction tasks. The oscillation mode is especially useful for compacting granular and mixed soils, which is perfect for sensitive projects like compacting backfill over pipelines or near buildings.
In addition, the roller comes with an optional padfoot segment kit, which can be added to improve compaction efficiency, especially when working with silt and clay materials.
Operating the BW 177 BVO-5 PL is simple, thanks to its user-friendly design. A single rotary dial is used to quickly switch between the three compaction modes, allowing the operator to adjust to the site conditions without any hassle. Furthermore, the roller is built to provide comfort during long hours of operation. The spacious operator cab ensures that the operator remains fatigue-free, even on extended workdays. Excellent all-around visibility also contributes to enhanced safety while operating the machine.
The roller features a 66.5-inch (170 mm) wide drum, which allows it to deliver up to 968 cubic yards per hour (740 cubic meters per hour) of compaction output, depending on the material type and the chosen compaction mode. With this capacity, the roller can handle heavy-duty tasks efficiently and quickly.
The BOMAG BW 177 BVO-5 PL roller is designed to be fuel-efficient, helping to reduce operating costs. It uses ECOMODE operation, which ensures that the engine runs at the optimum RPM range for the best fuel efficiency. This feature can help save up to 30% on fuel, making it an eco-friendly option for large projects.
In addition, the roller includes BOMAG ECOSTOP technology, which automatically turns off the engine after five to 15 minutes of idling. This feature can be adjusted by the operator, further helping to save fuel and reduce wear on the engine.
The roller’s single lever controls the machine's forward and reverse travel direction, allowing the operator to easily adjust speeds up to 10 mph (16 km/h). This smooth and responsive control system ensures safe operation, especially in tight spaces or on uneven ground.
The BW 177 BVO-5 PL roller is also equipped with advanced technologies like the BOMAG TERRAMETER and BOMAP app. These technologies help to improve compaction efficiency and reduce unnecessary passes, leading to cost savings. TERRAMETER uses two sensors to measure the stiffness of the material, alerting the operator in real time when the desired level of compaction has been achieved. This system also detects weak spots, ensuring that the entire site is compacted evenly.
Furthermore, the BOMAP app offers a simple and cost-effective way to monitor compaction progress in real time. This app works with any roller brand and provides valuable insights into the compaction process, ensuring that operators can track performance and make adjustments as needed.
The BW 177 BVO-5 PL roller is designed with maintenance in mind. It features BOMAG's "Easy Service" concept, which ensures that the machine is easy to maintain and keep in good working condition. There are no lubrication points, and the oscillating/articulating joint is maintenance-free. Additionally, all critical engine components, such as the dipstick, filter, and filling points, are easily accessible from ground level, making routine maintenance quick and straightforward.
Overall, the BOMAG BW 177 BVO-5 PL roller is an efficient, reliable, and user-friendly machine that can handle a variety of soil compaction tasks. Its advanced features, such as multiple compaction modes, fuel-saving technologies, and real-time monitoring tools, make it a great choice for construction projects that require high performance and cost-efficiency.
