BOMAG BW 284 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The BOMAG BW 284 is a static smooth drum roller designed for heavy-duty compaction applications. It features an 84.1-inch-wide smooth drum with a diameter of 54.1 inches, providing a static linear load of 169.2 pounds per inch for efficient soil and asphalt compaction. The roller operates with dual vibration frequencies of 59.7 and 66.7 vibrations per minute and provides a nominal medium amplitude of 0.1 inches, enabling effective compaction in various conditions. Powered by a Cummins QSB5.9-C six-cylinder engine, the unit delivers 185.1 horsepower at 2200 rpm. With a fuel capacity of 75 gallons, it supports extended operation times. The roller measures 8.9 feet in height to the top of the cab, has an 18-inch ground clearance, an 18-foot overall length, and a 10.9-foot wheelbase, offering stability and maneuverability on job sites. Its maximum speed is 10.1 mph under a 12-volt operating system. The BW 284’s operating weight is 28,424.3 pounds, optimizing compaction force while maintaining manageable transportability. This model is suitable for dense, large-scale road construction and other compaction tasks requiring smooth surface finishes and reliable performance. Its robust design, combined with precise vibration control, makes it ideal for compacting asphalt and granular soils to achieve uniform, reliable compaction results.
