Key Features

• Genuine OEM Ventilation Integrity — manufactured to Bomag's exact specifications, ensuring the crankcase breather maintains correct blow-by gas separation and pressure regulation for the engine it serves
• Direct Drop-In Replacement — engineered to connect and seat exactly as the original, fitting the same mounting ports and breather routing as the factory-installed unit
• Broad Verified Fitment — confirmed for Bomag pavers including BF 600, BF 700, BF 800, and BF 900 series; single drum rollers including BW 211, BW 213, BW 216, BW 219, and BW 226 series; tandem rollers including BW 190, BW 202, BW 203, BW 191, and BW 206; pneumatic tyred rollers BW 27 RH and BW 28 RH; cold milling machines BM 500/15 and BM 600/15; and BC-series refuse/landfill compactors and soil compactors
• Engine Protection Under Load — a properly functioning crankcase breather prevents pressure buildup that can force oil past seals, contaminate intake air, and accelerate engine wear on high-demand compaction and paving equipment
• Fuel System Safety Relevance — a blocked or failed breather can pressurize the crankcase and push oil into the air intake or fuel system, creating a fire risk and engine damage; replacing this part on schedule is a recognized engine maintenance safeguard

The crankcase breather is part of the engine's ventilation system, responsible for venting blow-by gases — combustion gases that escape past the piston rings into the crankcase — back into the intake rather than releasing them into the atmosphere. By separating oil mist from these gases before they re-enter the intake, the breather keeps the engine oil clean, maintains stable crankcase pressure, and protects seals throughout the engine. When the breather becomes clogged or damaged, crankcase pressure rises, oil consumption increases, seals fail prematurely, and the engine may emit visible smoke or experience power loss — problems that are especially disruptive in heavy-cycle paving and compaction applications.
