| BOMAG cold planer milling machines BOMAG's BM1000/30 and BM1300/30 cold planer milling machines feature centrally mounted cutting drums that allow precise milling next to walls, curbs and other obstructions. Highly versatile and easy to operate, the BM1000/30 and BM1300/30 are ideally suited for utility and general surface milling, and shoulder repair applications. The BM1000/30 offers a standard cutting width of 39.6 inches, while a 51.4-inch cutting width is standard on the BM1300/30. Both machines are powered by 275-horsepower Caterpillar diesel engines and offer a high horsepower-per-cutting-tooth delivery ratio for maximum productivity and efficiency. Additionally, the direct mechanical drive design of the cutting drum provides maximum power transfer while reducing any external losses. Both units are capable of milling depths up to 12.6 inches. The BM1000/30 and BM1300/30's centrally mounted cutting drum eliminates the need to move the right rear track away from the cut line, which provides the machines with improved overall balance. Compared with competitive units, the BM1000/30 and BM1300/30's centrally positioned drum makes it possible to use a much shorter take-off belt, resulting in lower maintenance costs and more uptime. Featuring a centrally located 'over-the-cut' operator's position, the BM1000/30 and BM1300/30 offer exceptional job-site visibility. Furthermore, the operator's seat can slide out over the right edge of the machine, offering excellent visibility of the cutting drum's leading edge and the line or curb to be followed during the cut. User-friendly controls make the mills easy to operate either via the operator's station or from ground level with remote-mount controls. The front-loading conveyor swings 36º to the right or left of center for ease of loading, and folds for simple transport to and from the job site. With the conveyor folded, the unit can be hauled using any standard configuration, 25-ton capacity single-drop or ramped trailer. Four-track stability with standard polyurethane wear pads and independent or coordinated front and rear steering provide optimum travel performance. For fast, on-the-job-site maintenance, the BM1000/30 and BM1300/30 feature quick-change cutting teeth and holders. Optional equipment includes water fill and high-pressure wash-down systems, and a hydraulically folding operator's station canopy complete with front and rear windscreens. Additionally, 24-inch offset and 39-inch drums are available on the BM1300/30 for pipe contractors to surgically grind through a limited portion of the road surface, minimizing the amount of required repaving. The 24-inch offset drum is available on the BM1000/30. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
