Bomag has equipped its new CR 820 T-2 paver with the latest advancements for highway-class pavers, and a new front-mount screed designed specifically for delivering paving application flexibility.
The 8-ft (2.4-metre) CR Series 2 paver is equipped with a new human-machine interface (HMI) that groups functions together such as hopper, screed and feed controls for quick identification, helping to improve efficiency.
The HMI’s 18-cm multifunction colour screen display at each console delivers the latest operating system information. Operators can make fast paver settings changes and view critical functions and gauges using either the touchscreen display or dial control.
As well, fault codes are visible on the monitor to alert the operator for quick troubleshooting.
A split auger/conveyor design includes raisable or fixed augers and Bomag’s exclusive Frame Raise. As well, optional four-sensor control gives unlimited material management capabilities. Bomag also equipped the paver with two independently controlled, variable speed outboard auger drive motors to aid in material flow control and eliminate the centre gearbox drive to reduce the occurrence of centreline segregation.

The CR 820 T-2 paver is powered by the 174-hp, Tier 4 Final Cummins QSB 4.5 engine. The CR 820 T-2 provides ample power for full-width paving, while having enough power in reserve to operate the screed’s generator and lights for night-time paving. A new sloped engine hood design provides a clear view into the 8.9-tonne hopper from the operator’s seat.
Dual swing-out operator stations feature the Bomag Sideview innovation that swivel both the seat and console outward at different angles to deliver unobstructed views to the paver’s side and screed spreading augers.
Versa 16 screed
The new Versa 16 front-mount electric screed provides infinitely variable paving widths from 2.4 to 4.7 metres, and available 30-cm heated extensions increase maximum screed paving widths to 5.9 metres.
Featuring fast screed heating, its new 480-volt, three-phase electric system reduces the time to warm up screed plates to paving temperatures by up to 50 per cent, compared to 220-volt, three-phase systems. The operator can choose to control material feed to the spreading augers either automatically or manually.
Thanks to its front-mount screed design, the Versa 16 excels in industrial and commercial paving applications that call for frequent width changes.
To simplify service and increase reliability, the new screed design replaces hydraulic motors with electric motors for match height, vibration and angle of attack. Heated end gates and skis deliver a clean edge for paving subsequent adjacent lanes.
Automatic screed elevation controls for the new Versa 16 feature integrated Moba intelligent paving functions.
Topcon and TF-Technologies asphalt paving solutions are available as options.
