BEUTHLING B100 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Beuthling B100 is a robust static smooth drum roller engineered for small to medium paving applications such as driveways, pedestrian walkways, and bike paths. It features a steel split drum design with a 37-inch rear drum width and a 30-inch front drum, both with machined surfaces and ballast fill plugs to enhance compaction and provide a smooth finish. The inside turning radius is a tight 60 inches, improving maneuverability in confined spaces. Powered by a reliable Kohler 16 HP TH520 air-cooled, twin-cylinder, overhead cam gasoline engine with electric start and a 12-volt battery, it delivers consistent performance. The B100 operates at speeds up to 5 mph via a hydrostatic rear drum drive system, allowing precise compaction control. This compactor measures 77 inches in length, 40 inches in width, and 63.75 inches in height, with a wheelbase of 52.75 inches and a curb clearance of 9.5 inches. Its operating weight with full ballast and operator is approximately 3,100 lbs, ensuring adequate ground pressure for effective compaction. The machine includes a 34-gallon polyethylene water tank with a pressurized drum spray system to minimize asphalt adhesion during operation, adjustable rubber drum scrapers, and pivoting drum cocoa mats for optimal mat finish. Additional features include automotive-type mechanical steering with 24-degree drum oscillation, a hydraulic fluid capacity of 4 gallons, and onboard instrumentation such as an hour meter and low engine oil indicator. The B100 is appreciated for its simplicity, reliability, and ability to deliver smooth, high-quality asphalt surfaces.
