BM 1500/65 large planer: Leading the way in the 650 hp class.

BOMAG's clever cutting technology combined with the wear-optimised BMS 15L exchange holder system can save up to 20% in fuel and significantly extend the cutting tools' service life.

The large planer has a vibration-insulated operator station. It includes an additional cushioned standing surface for the driver. The result: comfortable and fatigue-free working. In addition, the operator’s platform can be moved sideways steplessly by up to 200 mm.

640 hp engine power–the perfect match of engine power and milling speed coupled with the BMS 15 L exchange holder system make the BM 1500/65 the most cost-effective planer in the light 650 hp class.

All service-relevant points are easily accessible via the engine hood, the driver’s stand and the large service flaps. Quick and uncomplicated access to the engine service points is possible from both above and below.

The planer's water tank has a capacity of 3,250 l – sufficient reserve for long working intervals. Its split spray bar optimises water use, thus conserving valuable resources.

The BM 1500/65 large planer can be optionally fitted with an additional auxiliary motor. This assists the machine operator when servicing the milling drum in day-to-day operation. However, it can also operate other hydraulic functions. This means that in the event of a breakdown of the main engine, the BM 1500/65 can still be removed from a job site without the need for expensive heavy equipment.

With a CECEweight of 27 t and a retractable conveyor belt that is then 600 mm shorter, the BM 1500/65 large planer can be loaded with ease. The planer, truck and trailer then have a total weight of less than 44 t.

In the driver’s stand, the machine operator is supported by the newly developed, optionally available, operating concept BOMAG Easy Milling and a large camera display.

BOMAG Dual Filtration prevents dust or rust from clogging the spray system and nozzles. The filter can be easily cleaned. To prevent frost damage, the system can simply be blown out with compressed air when it is cold.

The innovative ION DUST SHIELD from BOMAG further improves the performance of the already powerful dust extraction system. Harmful fine dust with a particle size < 10 μm can be additionally reduced by up to 80%. This has been confirmed by IGF and INRS.

The 130° swivel angle combined with the smallest milling radius in the 650 hp class makes it easier to navigate and load the trucks – even in small roundabouts and tight bends.

The adjustable belt speed aids full loading of the trough.

The slim front section of the large planer allows the machine operator an unobstructed view of the cutting edge, the side plate, the track to be milled and the danger zone around the conveyor belt during operation. The flat rear design ensures greater safety when manoeuvring.
