SAKAI SW652ND STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Sakai SW652ND static smooth drum roller is a heavy-duty compaction machine designed for efficient asphalt and soil compaction. It features a 58-inch wide drum with a frequency of 49 vibrations per minute (vpm), providing uniform compaction and a smooth finish. The roller’s overall width is 5.6 feet, and it measures 169 inches in length with a wheelbase of 122 inches and a height of 110 inches including its awning. Powered by a Kubota V3307-DI-T-KDN engine—a turbocharged, water-cooled, 4-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 3.331 liters—the machine delivers approximately 74.3 horsepower at 2600 rpm, meeting EPA Interim Tier 4 emission standards for cleaner operation. It has a gross operating weight of 16,310 pounds, with a front axle load of 7,935 pounds and a rear axle load of 8,375 pounds. The hydraulic drive system enables smooth directional control with speeds up to 7.5 mph, and the drum uses an eccentric shaft-type vibrator for effective compaction. The roller’s design includes superior shock isolation and full operator visibility of the drum surface and edges, enhancing safety and ease of use. The unit also incorporates an automatic water sprinkler shut-off when neutral, an adjustable seat, and robust chassis components to withstand tough job site conditions. This combination of power, precision compaction, and operator-focused features makes the Sakai SW652ND a reliable choice for paving contractors requiring consistent smooth mat finishes.
