PTR Roller

A pneumatic tyre roller is a type of compaction equipment that uses a set of rubber tires to compact and smooth various surfaces such as asphalt and soil. It is often used in road construction to achieve uniform compaction and surface finish.

A pneumatic tyre roller compacts surfaces through the pressure exerted by its multiple rubber tires. The tires are inflated to specific pressures, allowing them to adjust to the surface irregularities and provide even compaction across the width of the roller.

• Uniform Compaction: The flexible tires conform to surface irregularities, ensuring even pressure distribution.
• Kneading Action: Provides a kneading effect that enhances the density and stability of the compacted material.
• Versatility: Can be used on various materials, including asphalt, soil, and granular materials.
• Improved Surface Finish: Helps in achieving a smoother and denser surface compared to steel drum rollers.

• Tires: Multiple rubber tires arranged in rows, providing compaction through their weight and flexibility.
• Ballast: Adds weight to the roller to enhance compaction, often adjustable by adding or removing material.
• Engine: Powers the roller and its components.
• Operator Cabin/Controls: Houses the controls for steering, speed, and tire pressure adjustments.
• Spray System: Optional system to keep tires clean and prevent material from sticking.

• Roll-Over Protection Systems (ROPS): Protects the operator in case of a rollover.
• Seat Belts: Ensures the operator remains secure during operation.
• Emergency Stop Controls: Allows for quick shutdown in emergencies.
• Visibility: Designed for maximum visibility to enhance safety during operation.

Regular maintenance includes checking tire pressure and condition, inspecting the engine and hydraulic systems, ensuring the ballast is properly secured, and keeping the spray system operational. Proper maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of the roller.
