BOMAG BW 161 AD-5 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

The BOMAG BW 161 AD-5 is a high-performance static smooth drum roller designed primarily for asphalt compaction with an operating weight of approximately 22,045 lbs (10,000 kg) in the cabin version. It features a robust Kubota V3800 CR-TI diesel engine delivering 114 hp at 2600 rpm, meeting Tier 4i emission standards with water cooling for efficient thermal management. The roller has a tandem design with two smooth drums; each drum measures 48.1 inches in diameter and 66.2 inches in width, generating a high centrifugal force of 19,109 lbs. It operates with variable vibration frequencies (45, 50, and 70 vpm) and a nominal amplitude of 0.1 inches for optimal compaction performance. The steering system is articulated oscillation type, enhancing maneuverability with an inner track radius of 193 inches and a wheelbase of 142.6 inches. Safety and control are ensured by multi-disc parking brakes and hydrostatic service brakes. The frame height reaches 10.1 feet, with dimensions suited for construction and roadwork sites, measuring 190.6 inches in length and 6.1 feet in width. Fuel capacity stands at 38.3 gallons with a sizeable 198.1 gallons water spray tank to prevent asphalt sticking on the drum. The machine's static linear load is 237 lbs/in for the front and 250 lbs/in for the rear drum. The design emphasizes operator comfort, serviceability from ground level, and fuel economy through features such as BOMAG's ECOMODE and advanced vibration control technologies, making it efficient and reliable for medium to heavy compaction tasks in road construction and related applications.
