Pneumatic Tyre Rollers

Multi-wheel rubber-tyred rollers for the intermediate pass on asphalt and for sealing granular surfaces. The kneading action closes surface voids in a way a steel drum does not.

Features

  • Overlapping tyre tracks leave no unrolled strip, so one pass covers the full working width.
  • Tyre inflation pressure is a working control, not a maintenance item: raising it increases contact pressure and shrinks the footprint.
  • Ballast compartments allow operating weight to be set for the layer instead of being fixed at purchase.
  • Tyre skirts and heating keep the tyres warm so bitumen does not pick up at the start of a shift.
  • The kneading action improves surface sealing, which is the reason the machine sits between breakdown and finish rolling.

Specifications

Figure Typical range Unit Why it matters
Operating weight, unballasted / ballasted 9 000 / 27 000 kg Defines the working range for different layer thicknesses.
Number of tyres 7 / 9 / 11 Sets coverage pattern and contact pressure distribution.
Tyre inflation pressure 2,0 - 8,5 bar The main working adjustment for contact pressure.
Working width 1 700 - 2 300 mm Matched to paver width so the mat is covered in whole passes.
