VOLVO DD29 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The **Volvo DD29 Smooth Drum Roller** is a compact vibratory compactor engineered for high productivity and efficient soil and asphalt compaction. It features a Kubota engine delivering 42 horsepower, ensuring reliable power for varied applications. The roller has an overall width of 4.1 feet and a turning radius inside of 8.5 feet, offering excellent maneuverability in confined job sites. The machine's drum width measures approximately 49.2 inches with a diameter of 28.9 inches, equipped with smooth steel drums designed for uniform compaction and surface finish. The drum vibrates at a frequency of 66.7 vibrations per minute (vpm), enabling effective densification with a nominal amplitude ranging between 0.016 to 0.1 inches and producing a centrifugal force of around 7,194 lbs to maximize compaction force. The DD29's hydrostatic propulsion system drives both drums, enhancing traction and gradeability. Operating weight is 6,335 lbs, balancing compaction performance with transportability. Fuel capacity stands at 18 gallons, while hydraulic fluid capacity is 22.4 gallons, supporting extended operation times. The roller’s dimensions include an overall length of approximately 8.39 feet, a height to the top of the cab near 8.29 feet, and a wheelbase of 5.66 feet. The maximum travel speed is 6.6 mph, providing both power and mobility for efficient project throughput. Designed for smooth compaction tasks, the Volvo DD29 is ideal for road construction, asphalt patching, and granular material compaction.
