The Bomag 57162181 Heat Protection Shield is a genuine OEM component designed for Bomag BC-series refuse and landfill compactors, including the BC 672 RB, BC 772 RB, BC 772 RS, BC 972 RB, and BC 1172 RB. As a direct OEM replacement sourced from Bomag, this shield matches the original in material grade, shape, and mounting configuration — ensuring correct installation without improvisation. It is engineered to withstand the thermal demands of heavy refuse compaction work, where heat buildup around drivetrain and exhaust areas is constant and intense.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Thermal Defense — Fabricated to Bomag's original material and thickness specifications, this shield delivers the same heat-barrier performance as the factory-fitted unit, protecting surrounding components from radiant and conducted heat in demanding landfill operating conditions.
- Direct Mounting Fit — Matches the original bracket points and contour geometry of the BC-series refuse compactor chassis, allowing straightforward installation without drilling, trimming, or adapting hardware.
- Broad BC-Series Coverage — Fits the BC 672 RB, BC 772 RB, BC 772 RS, BC 972 RB, and BC 1172 RB refuse and landfill compactors, making part number 57162181 a practical stock item for fleets running multiple Bomag refuse compactor models.
- Sustained Component Protection — A properly functioning heat shield prevents heat-related degradation of hydraulic lines, wiring harnesses, and structural panels in close proximity to high-temperature zones — damage that accelerates when the shield is cracked, corroded, or missing entirely.
A heat protection shield is a barrier panel positioned between a high-temperature source — typically the exhaust system or engine block — and adjacent components such as hydraulic hoses, electrical wiring, and structural panels. On heavy refuse and landfill compactors like the BC-series, these machines work long cycles in demanding conditions where engine loads and exhaust temperatures run high, making effective heat shielding critical. When the shield becomes corroded, cracked, or falls away entirely, nearby components are exposed to sustained radiant heat that can cause hose degradation, wiring failures, and accelerated wear on surrounding assemblies — making timely replacement essential to keeping the machine running safely and efficiently.
