SAKAI TW320-I STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Sakai TW320-I Static Smooth Drum Roller is a compact asphalt compactor designed for efficient roadway and surface construction. It features a 47-inch wide smooth steel drum with a diameter of 28 inches, providing effective compaction over a 4.3-foot operating width. The roller is powered by a reliable Kubota diesel engine delivering 35 horsepower, optimized for steady performance and fuel efficiency. Its vibration frequency is rated at approximately 67 Hz (4,000 vpm), enabling high-impact compaction speed with uniform surface finish. The TW320-I offers articulated steering with a tight inside turning radius of 8.6 inches, enhancing maneuverability in confined spaces. Weighing 6,329 pounds, it balances sufficient weight for static compaction without sacrificing agility. The roller incorporates a hydrostatic drive system for smooth, controllable operation and is equipped with a water spray system to prevent asphalt sticking to the drum. Safety features include a multi-disc hydraulic brake system and an emergency brake pedal mimicking automotive standards. The operator benefits from excellent drum edge visibility, facilitating precise control and clean finish. Its build supports high curb clearance and gradability up to 40%, making it adaptable to various job site conditions. Overall, the Sakai TW320-I combines durable construction, efficient compaction performance, and operator-friendly features to meet the demands of asphalt laying and surface finishing projects.
