BOMAG BW177D-50 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The 2014 BOMAG BW177D-50 is a heavy-duty static smooth drum roller designed for efficient compaction of granular and mixed soils. Powered by a 74 hp engine with a displacement of 207 cu in, it offers robust performance combined with fuel capacity of 50 gallons for extended operation. The roller has an operating weight of 15,432 lb, which enables strong ground contact and effective compaction. The smooth drum width is 66 inches, providing wide coverage per pass. This model delivers variable centrifugal forces, with a high setting of 29,225 lb and a low setting of 18,320 lb, enabling adaptability for different soil types and compaction requirements. Its vibratory system operates at 30 Hz vibration frequency, with nominal amplitudes of 0.067 inches at high and 0.032 inches at low settings. These parameters ensure deep and consistent soil compaction while allowing for gentle operation in sensitive conditions. The BW177D-50 achieves a static linear pressure of 154 lb/in, contributing to its compaction efficacy. It can travel at speeds up to 6 mph and has a gradeability of 55%, making it capable of efficient operation on inclined and uneven terrain. Its inside turning radius of 114 inches provides enhanced maneuverability on job sites. This model's hydrostatic drive system, combined with its compact design and high-performance exciter system, makes it well-suited for road construction, base layer compaction, and various earthwork projects requiring both power and precision.
