BOMAG BW 900-2 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The BOMAG BW 900-2 is a ride-on vibratory smooth drum roller powered by a Honda GX620 engine delivering 20 hp at 3600 rpm with a two-cylinder configuration. It has an operating weight of approximately 2,924 lbs and a fuel capacity of 9 gallons, supporting continuous operation on a 12-volt system. The unit features a single smooth steel drum measuring 22.1 inches in diameter and 35.5 inches in width, providing a centrifugal force of about 3,147 lbs to ensure effective soil and asphalt compaction. Vibration frequency is set at 65 vibrations per minute with a nominal amplitude of 0.1 inches, achieving a static linear load of 41.1 pounds per inch. The roller's dimensions include a ground clearance of 14.3 inches, an overall width of 3 feet, a compact length of 6.9 feet, and a wheelbase of 3.8 feet, with an operating width of 89 inches. It can travel at a maximum speed of 4.4 mph (6 kph), suitable for efficient compaction on various surfaces including footpaths, repair areas, and small-scale road construction projects. The BW 900-2 is designed for ease of use with robust construction, reliable lifetime lubrication through sealed bearings, and low maintenance requirements. Its compact size and optimized vibration system make it ideal for achieving consistent, high-quality compaction results in confined spaces and small job sites.
