Smooth Drum Rollers

Smooth drum roller is a road compactor with large, smooth, cylindrical steel drum used to compact asphalt, gravel, or soil surfaces. The flat surface is formed by applying equal pressure from the smooth drum, which will flatten and densify the material; it is commonly used for road, parking lot, and other paved surfaces finishing work. Lastly, smooth drum rollers are extensively used in the final part of compaction of asphalt paving projects, as they provide a smooth, even surface without disturbing the material below. They are also employed in general construction for base layers and subgrades compaction.
