BOMAG BW 900-50 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The BOMAG BW 900-50 static smooth drum roller is a compact, articulated tandem roller designed for soil compaction and asphalt patching, ideal for footpaths, repair work, and finishing tasks in road construction. It features a Honda GX 630 engine delivering 20 hp through a hydrostatic drive system, providing a maximum speed of 5.4 mph. The roller weighs approximately 2,646 lbs and has an operating width of 37.8 inches. Its double smooth drums produce a centrifugal force of 3,372 lbs at a vibration frequency of 70 vibrations per minute with a nominal amplitude of 0.1 inch, enabling efficient and consistent compaction. The machine is equipped with hydrostatic service brakes and a hydromechanical parking brake for effective stopping power. Steering is hydraulically powered with an oscillatory articulation joint providing a ±33° steering angle and ±6° oscillating angle, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces. The roller includes a spray water system with a 36.2-gallon capacity to prevent asphalt from sticking to the drums. Its frame dimensions include a ground clearance of 0.9 ft, overall width of 3.2 ft, overall length of 6.5 ft, and height up to 7.6 ft with ROPS/FOPS. Additional features comprise a foldable rollover protection system (ROPS), vibration control via travel lever, hydraulic articulated steering, and mechanical parking brake. This model offers robust durability with maintenance-free articulated joints and easy access to the engine and components, supporting reliable operation and simplified upkeep.
