BOMAG BW 151 AD-5 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The BOMAG BW 151 AD-5 is a high-performance static smooth drum roller designed for advanced asphalt compaction applications. It features a powerful Kubota V3307 CR-T 4-cylinder diesel engine delivering 74.3 hp at 2400 rpm with Tier 3b/4 emissions certification, supported by water cooling for efficient operation. The machine operates at a maximum speed of 7.5 mph and runs on a 12-volt electrical system. Weighing 16,755 lbs with a gross weight of 20,503 lbs, the roller ensures excellent ground contact with a 43.3-inch drum diameter generating a centrifugal force of 10,116 lbs at high amplitude (0.1 in). Vibration frequencies range between 45 and 70 vpm, adaptable through dual frequency settings, optimizing compaction quality. The roller’s frame provides 9.8 inches of ground clearance and an overall length of 173.2 inches, width of 5.5 ft, and height to the top of the cab of 9.9 ft. The turning radius inside is 172.8 inches, with a 129.9-inch wheelbase. It incorporates a hydrostatic service brake, multi-disc parking brake, and hydrostatic steering for smooth and responsive maneuvering. The front axle supports 8,598 lbs and the rear 8,157 lbs, delivering static linear loads of 130 lb/in for the front and 123.2 lb/in for the rear. Additional features include a 33-gallon fuel tank and a 158.5-gallon water spray tank for effective dust control. The BW 151 AD-5 uses BOMAG’s ECOMODE for load-dependent engine management, improving fuel efficiency and compaction accuracy, complemented by advanced compaction monitoring systems to reduce unnecessary passes and document results precisely.
