SMS Equipment recently hosted The Construction Show to highlight BOMAG’s BM1300/35-2 cold planer and its proprietary ION DUST SHIELD. Host Rory Bamford sat down with Product Manager Chaunce Edwards, a 21-year SMS Equipment veteran with a decade of field experience before moving into leadership and product roles.

BOMAG’s ION DUST SHIELD enables milling machine operators, the crew that follows behind them, and passers-by to breathe cleaner air on and around the job site, and allows contractors and road building agencies to breathe a sigh of relief knowing they are doing all they can to maximize health and safety.

For contractors that operate in some of Canada’s most rugged terrains, equipment is often pushed to the extremes. This means that durability and reliability are essential for the profitable and timely completion of jobs, and for ensuring that equipment delivers top performance throughout its lifecycle.

As Canadian mines navigate their energy transition, they’re turning to innovative technologies and strategies to meet sustainability goals. It’s no longer just about acquiring new equipment — success hinges on adopting data-driven solutions and building the right ecosystem of technologies and partnerships to drive decarbonization.
