BOMAG BW 161 ADO-5 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

The BOMAG BW 161 ADO-5 is a heavy articulated tandem vibratory smooth drum roller designed for efficient asphalt compaction in road construction. It features dual 4-foot diameter smooth drums with a width of 66.1 inches, providing a high centrifugal force of 20,233 lbs at the high vibration setting. The drum offers two vibration frequencies, 40 and 55 vibrations per minute, with a nominal amplitude of 0.1 inches for effective compaction. Powered by a water-cooled 4-cylinder Kubota V3800 CR-TI engine delivering 114 hp at 2600 rpm, it ensures robust performance and fuel efficiency through BOMAG’s ECOMODE technology that regulates engine power according to load. The machine operates at a maximum speed of 7.5 mph with an operating weight of approximately 21,164 lbs and a gross weight of 23,369 lbs. It has a fuel capacity of 38.3 gallons and a water spray tank capacity of 198.1 gallons to keep the drums clean and prevent asphalt adhesion. Its dimensions include an overall length of 190.6 inches, width of 6.1 feet, ground clearance of 9.8 inches, and height to the top of the cab of 10.1 feet. Steering is managed by an oscillatory articulation system, facilitating maneuverability with an inside turning radius of about 192 inches. Braking is handled via multi-disc parking brakes and hydrostatic service brakes. The BW 161 ADO-5 supports sophisticated compaction monitoring through BOMAP, validated by its EasyService design minimizing maintenance while maximizing reliability and uptime.
