Other News: 2010 | 2009 | 2008 News (2008) Bergkamp’s M310 Recognized As 2008 Top 50 Product Bergkamp Introduces 2 New Members Of Management Team Bergkamp Launches Spanish Web Site
Bergkamp’s M310 Recognized As 2008 Top 50 Product December 2008
“We feel the M310 is one of the most innovative pieces of equipment in the slurry seal and micro surfacing industry because it provides simple-to-use mix control, easy calibration, extensive onboard diagnostics and on-demand reports,” said Bill Cooper, Bergkamp’s Director of Sales & Marketing. “This ensures accurate delivery of materials in accordance with a laboratory mix design. We are excited to receive this recognition because it shows that the industry is ready for this innovative product and the benefits it will deliver to pavement preservation practitioners.” Bergkamp’s M310 allows operators to easily calibrate the machine, monitor production rates and simplify maintenance. It uses the EMCAD (Electronic Mix Control and Diagnostic) System to display current and average material ratios, total material used and material rates. It can produce on-demand reports to track production for individual sections of the job, or the entire job, via an onboard printer. Operators can evaluate these printouts and make the necessary adjustments to more efficiently run the machine and calculate their bottom line. Calibration is simplified, so fewer steps are required and manual calculations are eliminated. The EMCAD System ties material ratios of aggregate, asphalt emulsion, water, additive and fines together with an electronic signal and automatically maintains the ratios with feedback loops.

Saucedo is a native Spanish speaker and has more than 18 years of experience in the international pavement maintenance industry. |
Bergkamp’s new M310 slurry seal and micro surfacing paver appears to have already made a name for itself in the industry. The M310 was recognized as one of Better Roads magazine’s 50 Top Rollouts for 2008. The magazine covers hundreds of new products each year, and then re-evaluates them to select the 50 it believes contractors should take one more look at. 
Bergkamp is happy to announce the promotion of Vic Gawith to Territory Manager and the hiring of new Production Manger Ted Johnson.
