SAKAI SW880 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Sakai SW880 is a high-performance static smooth drum roller designed for efficient asphalt and soil compaction. It features a **79-inch (201 cm) wide drum** that allows broad coverage, enhancing compaction productivity. The roller has an **overall width of 7 feet** and a tight **inside turning radius of 14.4 inches**, granting it excellent maneuverability in confined spaces. It operates at a variable **vibration frequency range from 2,520 to 4,020 vibrations per minute (vpm)**, delivering **low amplitude of 0.013 inches**, which supports effective compaction with minimal surface disruption. The machine’s centrifugal force varies between **14,165 to 41,590 lbs**, depending on the vibration setting, ensuring adaptability to different materials and compaction requirements. It has an **operating weight ranging from approximately 28,375 to 30,800 lbs**, providing the necessary ground pressure for optimal compaction results. The roller is powered by a **TCD2012L04-2V engine**, a reliable power unit designed for durability and performance. The SW880 also incorporates features such as dual spray bars on front and rear drums for effective water spray, reducing asphalt sticking to the drum surface. Its robust build and advanced vibration system allow the SW880 to produce a high-frequency impact of 10-12 blows per foot at speeds up to 4.55 mph, making it ideal for asphalt paving and road construction applications. Overall, the Sakai SW880 combines powerful compaction force, controlled vibratory operation, and compact dimensions to deliver high productivity and efficient job-site handling.
