The Bomag 72440131 Scraper is a genuine OEM component designed for the BMP 8500, BMP 8500 Kohler, and BMP 8500 Kubota trench compactors. Sourced directly from Bomag, this scraper carries the exact geometry and material specification of the original, ensuring a correct installation without rework or modification. It is a direct replacement for the OEM scraper on these machines, confirmed for use across all three BMP 8500 engine variants.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Spec — manufactured to Bomag's original hardness and dimensional tolerances for a scraper that wears at the designed rate and clears material cleanly
- Direct-Fit Replacement — matches the original mounting profile on the BMP 8500, dropping into position the same way the factory unit does
- Broad BMP 8500 Coverage — fits the BMP 8500, BMP 8500 Kohler, and BMP 8500 Kubota trench compactors, covering all engine configurations in the BMP 8500 family
- Consistent Drum Cleaning Performance — a properly functioning scraper keeps the compaction drum clear of carried-over material, maintaining consistent ground contact and compaction output
- Verified Part Number Traceability — order with confidence using Bomag part number 72440131, the exact OEM reference for this scraper on BMP 8500 trench compactors
A drum scraper is a wear component positioned close to the compaction drum to strip away soil, clay, or debris that adheres to the drum surface during operation. On a trench compactor like the BMP 8500, keeping the drum clean is critical — material buildup reduces effective contact between the drum and the trench floor, leading to uneven compaction and potential rework. When the scraper wears through or breaks, carried-over material can also pack into tight clearances and cause secondary wear on nearby components, making timely replacement an important part of routine machine maintenance.
