The new compactors unite high compaction performance and eco-friendly drive concepts
Compaction specialist Hamm presents two new additions to its range of HC series compactors: the HC 110 and HC 130. These machines in the 11 t and 13 t weight classes are available with a choice of either smooth or padfoot drums. The models, both of which fulfil the MAR-I and UN ECE R96 (Tier 3) exhaust emission standards, are initially available only on the Brazilian market, but will be available on other markets in due course.
The HC 110 and HC 130 compactors are characterised by high centrifugal forces and static line loads and, in combination with a drum width of 2,140 mm, deliver high area performance. An efficient ECO mode enables diesel fuel savings without any negative effects on compaction performance. The frequency and compaction forces in ECO-mode remain consistently high, even at the reduced engine speed. A positive side-effect of this is a corresponding reduction of CO2 emissions. These machines impress with gradeability of up to 58%.
Amongst other things, the features of these models include field-proven three-point articulation, which ensures excellent directional stability, outstanding stability when cornering and high resistance to tipping. Another standard feature is automatic frequency setting. This function allows the driver to select the desired vibration frequency of 30 or 35 Hz via the display, while the drive computer continuously regulates the volume flow in order to achieve the specified value. The compactors are powered by a powerful John Deere engine with a rated output of 101 kW that is well-known for its high performance and reliability. In addition, all models offer options such as compaction measurement with the Hamm Compaction Meter, a process-data gateway, padfoot shells, LED lighting or an automatic vibration system.
The workspace of the new compactors is ergonomically designed. Other equipment options including the new ROPS driver's cab with an optional heating and air-conditioning system, a collapsible weather canopy or ROPS/FOPS (Level 1) enable users to customise the compactors to meet their specific needs. All service and maintenance points are easily accessible at any time and thus ensure constant operational readiness.
