Compaction Made EasyNews Date: 03/25/2008 Author: Maria Hernandez Source: Multiquip Inc.
The new Rammax Viper trench roller from Multiquip hosts a unique maintenance-free Oscillating/Articulating joint which optimizes drum soil contact while providing reliable stability on uneven surfaces. Equal amplitude to all four drums is provided by its patented Straight Compaction Technology (SCT) which delivers an even distribution of compaction force by positioning eccentrics above the drum perpendicular to drum rotation. This also provides for easy maintenance access. The Rammax Viper patented Z-frame design eliminates the traditional between the drum spacing and un-compacted area. Patented internal drum scrapers prevent dirt build up between drums for guaranteed maximum power and torque. Powered by a Lombardini engine, the Rammax Viper trench roller delivers 2,460 vpm and generates centrifugal forces up to 15,543 lbs. To further enhance productivity, the selectable centrifugal force in this model allows the operator to adjust the compaction force between 15,543 pounds in the high and 7,606 pounds in low setting.
