HD+ 90i PH VO-S Tandem roller with vibration and oscillation drum

Three-point articulation is different to conventional joints due to its geometric arrangement and connection of the three individual joints and one additional connecting link between the two conventional upper joints. This allows optimum steering, excellent driving safety and maximum driving comfort.

In the Smart Compaction product range, HAMM offers various solutions for intelligent and simple compaction, compaction measurement, and documentation. The focus here is on digital interfaces between the driver and the machine as well as various assistants. The innovations offered here (such as Smart Doc) contribute significantly to meeting the increasing demands for high compaction quality in modern earthworks and road construction, and directly integrating the megatrends of digitalization and resource conservation into daily construction site activity.

In an oscillation drum, two eccentric shafts are fitted at a 180° angle to each other. Both unbalanced masses rotate synchronously, which causes the drum to perform a rapidly alternating forward-backward rotational movement. This results in the compaction energy being transmitted forward and backward tangentially into the ground below in the form of shear forces. The oscillation system developed by HAMM achieves compaction results that are scientifically proven to be more homogeneous and higher-quality, leading to faster, more significant compaction increases. The scope of application is enormous.

With the 9 t HD+ 90i PH tandem roller (EPA Tier 4/EU Stage V), HAMM combines a traditional combustion engine with a hydraulic accumulator. While the diesel unit provides the basic load, the hydraulic accumulator is able to cover peak loads, such as start-up or activating vibration/oscillation, by providing an additional 20 kW of power at short notice. After this maximal load has been generated, the hydraulic accumulator is recharged via a pump. In this way, the machine provides full compaction power while simultaneously saving fuel.

HAMMTRONIC is an electronic machine management system that monitors and controls all key machine functions, consequently increasing safety, economy and fuel savings. The opportunities offered by HAMMTRONIC include, for instance, automatic adjustment of the diesel engine speed to meet the power requirements of the individual drives. Moreover, HAMMTRONIC controls start-up and braking, and distributes the drive torques across the drum axis and back wheels in line with current operating data. HAMMTRONIC also controls the hydrostatic vibration drive and the various steering programs (for DV+ series only), guaranteeing even, smooth movement of both drums.
