BOMAG COMPACTOR AND BASIC PRINCIPLES OF VIBRATORY COMPACTION:

The BOMAG compactor has been approved as the best compactor in compaction technology for earthwork, highway and transportation engineering. It has performed well in soil, rock and asphalt compaction though compaction technology concentrates on enhancing the performance capacity of machines, on user friendly and environmentally compatible designs with extending the functional structure range of application. Electronic measuring and compaction technology as well as micro-processor controls. These machines integrated system enable an almost automatic control of compaction work and an optimisation use of equipment as well as a surface covering assurance of compaction quality. Better quality work is ensured for production with consideration of measuring and testing unit and use of the machine parameters for process control of projects .A development leap in control automation of vibratory rollers has been in fact achieved by the possibility to combine data of compaction quality and management. Further developments aim at the possibility to localise the roller position exactly via a position system suitable for practical application and to specify control and record the number of roller passes. The great present and future challenges of engineering technology prefer BOMAG to the current technology. Intended sequential volume special subjects and special application for BOMAG compaction technology are planned. This includes subjects such as the compaction of unbounded and hydraulically bonded base course and soil-binder mixes in highway and transportation engineering, the compaction of recycling materials, industrial wastes and household refuse, the compaction of cable and pipeline trenches ,backfill and embankments, as well the compaction sanitary landfill and mineral sealing. Quality assurance of work can be achieved by measuring, testing and good system recording. With the rotating eccentric masses mounted on or several drive shafts depending on system, BOMAG is designed for vibratory compaction to generate uniform, stable rotary vibrations. These vibration are transferred to the substrate through contact areas such as special pad feet, plates, roller drum either flat or liner. They act as dynamic forces in a spatially distributed manner with pressure and vibration increasing the physical-mechanical characteristics. Compaction of any ground should be taken under high consideration to avoid over compaction and poor test. The direct vibration systems from BOMAG unify the advantages of rotary and oscillatory vibrators. With the newly developed directed vibration systems rollers a long striven goal of development and important technological leap was achieved.
