The upcoming BOMAG CR 1030 Series 10-ft. track paver, set for the 2025 paving season, introduces several design improvements aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and mat quality by reducing segregation. Alongside the paver, BOMAG is also unveiling the Versa 20 front mount screed, expanding its range of screeds to offer more versatility for paving projects.

The Versa 20 front mount screed is designed to provide BOMAG customers with greater flexibility for their paving needs, according to the manufacturer.

A newly designed human-machine interface (HMI) now groups functions on the tractor console and introduces a screed control system integrated with MOBA automation features. Controls for the hopper, screed, and feed are logically grouped together, allowing for faster and easier adjustments by the operator.

A standout feature is the large 7-inch multifunction color display on each console, offering a customizable experience for operators. The interface provides both touchscreen and remote dial controls, ensuring usability in various conditions, even when gloves are required. This dual option enhances operator control and improves job site efficiency.

Additionally, the system includes fault code visibility directly on the touchscreen monitor, streamlining maintenance and troubleshooting. This real-time feedback allows operators to identify and address issues immediately, minimizing downtime and boosting productivity.

The CR 1030 T Series introduces a new independent auger/conveyor system, featuring an outboard auger drive. This design allows for independent operation of the auger and conveyor, with an optional 2 or 4 sensor control system. The outboard-driven auger system, borrowed from the CR Remix paver, improves visibility and reduces segregation in the conveyor discharge area, enhancing mat quality.

The BOMAG CR 1030 T rubber track paver, set to debut at the World of Asphalt show in March 2024, is powered by a 225 hp Cummins QSB 6.7 engine that complies with the latest emissions standards. Operator visibility is enhanced by the paver's sloped hood design, and it retains legacy features like optional FRAME RAISE for better mat quality and the SMARTRAC system, which automatically maintains proper track tension to extend track life.

BOMAG’s exclusive SIDEVIEW innovation allows the operator’s seat and console to swivel outward at four angles, providing unobstructed views of the paver sides and screed end gate.

The Versa 20 front-mount electric screed, featured alongside the CR 1030 T paver, offers infinitely adjustable paving widths from 10 to 19 feet and paving thicknesses of up to 12 inches. The screed includes bolt-on extensions available in widths of 12, 18, and 24 inches, offering contractors maximum flexibility to reach widths of up to 23 feet.

Quick-connect extensions ensure heating and vibration for improved mat quality. The screed also comes with a 10-ft. catwalk and foldable walkway extensions for added operator convenience.

Hydraulic extensions, measuring 11 inches deep and featuring manually adjustable angle of attack, deliver better density and mat quality compared to others in its class. The Versa 20’s hydraulic crown adjustment, from 3 inches positive to 1 inch negative, further enhances paving quality. The newly designed screed controls and remotes also integrate MOBA automation features, improving the operator’s experience.
