WHITAKER BROTHERS 145 STATIC SMOOTH DRUM ROLLER

Technical Description

The Whitaker Brothers 145 Static Smooth Drum Roller is powered by a 20 HP electric motor operating at 220 V, 3-phase, and 60 Hz frequency. It features a 6-inch diameter smooth drum wheel designed for static compaction applications. The machine operates at a noise level of 75 dB, maintaining operator comfort with manageable sound levels. Its dimensions include a height of 73 inches, width of 40 inches, and a depth of approximately 44 inches, with a substantial weight of 1,750 lbs, ensuring adequate ground pressure. The throat size or infeed opening is 12" x 12" with a maximum throughput capacity of up to 1,000 lbs per hour, or alternatively cited as up to 950 lbs per hour, making it suitable for moderate production compaction tasks. This static roller is specifically engineered to provide uniform compaction without vibration, ideal for applications requiring smooth finishes, such as asphalt paving or granular soil compaction. Its robust electric motor and static loading system deliver consistent compaction force while maintaining energy efficiency and low operational noise, suitable for urban or environmentally sensitive areas. The compact size combined with its static pressure capabilities supports efficient use in confined spaces and medium-scale construction projects. Overall, the Whitaker Brothers 145 Static Smooth Drum Roller offers reliable static compaction with precise control, moderate throughput, and ergonomic dimensions optimized for both productivity and operational control.
