CATERPILLAR CB335E STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar CB335E Static Smooth Drum Roller is a robust compaction machine designed for efficient soil and asphalt compaction. It features a single smooth steel drum with a diameter of 31.5 inches, delivering a centrifugal force of 7,441 lbs at a nominal amplitude of 0.1 inches and vibration frequency of 61 vpm, ensuring uniform compaction and superior surface finish. The roller’s static linear load is 213.4 pounds per inch, enhancing the compactive effort. Powered by a Caterpillar 3024C 4-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 135.3 cubic inches, it produces a gross power of 45.8 hp (34 kW) and net power of 44.3 hp (33 kW), ensuring reliable performance and fuel efficiency. The machine has a fuel capacity of 15.1 gallons and hydraulic system fluid capacity of 12.7 gallons for extended operation. It operates at 12 volts with a 65-amp alternator supply and has a maximum speed of 7.8 mph (11 kph). The CB335E’s dimensions include an overall length of approximately 10.3 feet, width of 4.6 feet, height to top of cab at 8.4 feet, wheelbase of 7.7 feet, ground clearance of 11.2 inches, and an inside turning radius of 118 inches, providing excellent maneuverability on tight job sites. Its operating weight is around 8,091 lbs, and it rides on 7.5x16 tires at the rear, complementing the smooth drum for enhanced traction and stability. This roller is well-suited for small to medium-scale compaction tasks requiring precision and consistent performance.
