BOMAG BW 9 AS STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The BOMAG BW 9 AS Static Smooth Drum Roller is a robust compaction machine designed primarily for smoothing and compacting surfaces in road construction and site preparation. It features two smooth drums, with the front drum diameter measuring 3.4 feet and the rear drum 4.5 feet, providing a drum width of 50 inches to deliver uniform compaction across wider paths. Its compact dimensions include a ground clearance of 1.4 feet, a height of 6.2 feet (9 feet to the top of the ROPS/FOPS), an overall length of 15.3 feet, an overall width of 5.3 feet, and a wheelbase of 11.1 feet. Powered by a 4-cylinder Cummins 4B3.3TAA engine, the roller delivers 84 horsepower at 2400 rpm, ensuring reliable performance for various compaction tasks. The machine accommodates a fuel capacity of 30.2 gallons, cooling fluid capacity of 4 gallons, and hydraulic system fluid capacity of 15.1 gallons, with a spray water capacity of 170.4 gallons to keep the drum wet during operation and prevent material buildup. This roller achieves a maximum speed of 10.2 mph and operates on a 12-volt electrical system. Its compaction capability is highlighted by a maximum static linear load of 216 pounds per inch on the drive drum and 162 pounds per inch on the guide drum. Operating weights range from 13,986 lbs in standard mode up to 18,876 lbs with maximum ballast, providing substantial ground contact pressure for effective soil and asphalt compaction. Overall, the BOMAG BW 9 AS is a durable, efficient smooth drum roller optimized for versatile compaction, combining strong engine power, precise load distribution, and practical operational features for heavy construction use.
