VOLVO SD160 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Volvo SD160 is a robust static smooth drum roller designed for efficient soil compaction in construction and roadwork projects. It features an 84-inch wide smooth drum and offers an operating width of 94.7 inches, enabling wide area coverage and uniform compaction. The machine's turning radius is 136.3 inches, providing good maneuverability on job sites. Powered by a Cummins QSB 6.7 inline 6-cylinder, 6.7-liter turbocharged and aftercooled diesel engine, it produces 173 hp, delivering high performance and reliability. The vibration frequency ranges from 30.8 to 33.8 vpm (vibrations per minute), with centrifugal force adjustable between 264.0 and 339.0 kN, facilitating effective compaction force depending on soil conditions. The amplitude is 1.97 mm (high) and 1.28 mm (low), ensuring precise vibration control for optimal compaction results. The operating weight of the SD160 is approximately 35,713 lbs, which contributes to its compaction effectiveness. This roller exhibits a gradeability of 70%, suitable for working on inclined surfaces. The machine includes hydrostatic drive propulsion and is equipped to maintain operator comfort and safety. Overall, the Volvo SD160 combines powerful engine performance, substantial compaction force, and precise control, making it well-suited for demanding compaction tasks in various terrain conditions. The Cummins QSB 6.7 engine is known for its durability, high torque output (up to 1030 Nm), and efficient fuel management, ensuring dependable operation in heavy-duty applications.
