Below the roller listings above, here is a deeper breakdown of each compaction class we export — from single-drum soil compactors to tandem asphalt rollers and pneumatic-tyred finishers. We also cover drum configurations, vibration technologies, padfoot shell options, and how to match the right roller to your material and lift thickness.

Single Drum Vibratory Roller — 8T to 26T

Brands & Models: XCMG XS123H/XS143J/XS163J/XS183J/XS203J/XS223J/XS263J, SANY SSR120C/SSR180C/SSR220C, LOVOL FY12S/FY14S/FY22S/FY26S
Engine: Weichai/Deutz/Cummins 82–162 kW, EU Stage V / EPA Tier 4F optional
Drum Width: 2,130mm (12T class) to 2,170mm (22T–26T class). Wider drum = fewer passes per lane, higher daily output.
Vibration: Dual-frequency dual-amplitude — low frequency (~28 Hz) + high amplitude for deep lift compaction (30cm–80cm), high frequency (~35 Hz) + low amplitude for finish rolling. Centrifugal force range: 270–460 kN.
Applications: Sub-base and base course compaction in road construction, earth dam and embankment compaction, landfill compaction, airport runway base. The workhorse of any large-scale earthmoving and infrastructure project.

Tandem Drum Roller — 1.5T to 14T

Brands & Models: XCMG XD103/XD123/XD133/XD143, SANY STR30C/STR100C/STR130C, ZOOMLION YZ2.5/YZC12
Engine: Kubota/Deutz/Weichai 22–100 kW
Drum Width: 1,200mm (1.5T–3T) to 2,130mm (12T–14T). Articulated frame for tight turning radius — flush curb clearance on both sides.
Drum Split & Vibration: Front and rear drums vibrate independently — double the compaction per pass vs single drum. Selectable front-only, rear-only, or dual-drum vibration. Drum offset ±50mm for edge work without leaving roller marks.
Water System: Pressurized dual water tanks with interval-controlled spray bars — prevents asphalt pickup on hot drums. Coconut-mat scrapers on each drum as backup.
Applications: Asphalt base, binder, and wearing course finish rolling — highways, urban streets, parking lots, airport runways. Compact 1.5T–3T units for cycle paths, trench reinstatement, and small patchwork.

Pneumatic-Tyred Roller — 9T to 30T

Brands & Models: XCMG XP163/XP203/XP263/XP303, SANY SPR260C/SPR300C, ZOOMLION YL26
Engine: Weichai/Deutz 85–140 kW
Tyre Configuration: 5+6 or 6+7 front-rear tyre arrangement, 11.00-20 bias-ply tyres, variable inflation pressure (200–800 kPa). Tyres overlap front-to-rear for full-width coverage with no gaps. Ballast compartments: water, sand, or steel blocks — operating weight adjustable from 9T up to 30T.
Kneading Effect: Unlike steel drums that compact by vertical impact, pneumatic rollers use kneading and kneading action from rubber tyres — rearranges aggregate particles for a denser, more impermeable surface. Essential for chip-seal projects and final surface sealing.
Applications: Final surface sealing on asphalt pavement — closes voids and micro-cracks after tandem rolling. Chip-seal and surface-dressing rolling — presses stone chips into bitumen emulsion without crushing. Base course pre-sealing before asphalt laydown. Subgrade finishing on granular material.

Single Drum vs Tandem Drum vs Pneumatic — Which Roller For Your Job?

Factor Single Drum (Vibratory) Tandem Drum Pneumatic-Tyred
Compaction Depth Deep — 30cm to 80cm per lift (soil, gravel, rock fill) Shallow — 4cm to 8cm per asphalt layer Shallow surface — 3cm to 5cm top sealing
Material Soil, gravel, crushed rock, clay, sand, landfill Hot mix asphalt (HMA), warm mix, cold mix Asphalt surface, chip-seal, granular base sealing
Surface Finish Quality Rough — visible drum marks, finish roller required Smooth, flat — final riding surface quality Best — kneads and seals micro-voids, no marks
Compaction Mechanism Vertical impact vibration — particles re-align under dynamic force Static weight + vibration — dual-drum compacts top and bottom simultaneously Static kneading — rubber tyres re-arrange aggregate, close surface voids
Passes Required 4–8 passes — high amplitude vibratory 4–6 passes — breakdown + intermediate + finish 3–5 passes — final sealing, no vibration
Speed 3–6 km/h (working), 10–12 km/h (travel) 3–8 km/h (working), 10–13 km/h (travel) 3–8 km/h (working), 15–20 km/h (travel)
Water System Large tank, gravity-fed sprinkler — for dust control and drum cooling on soil Dual pressurized tanks, interval spray bars, coconut scrapers — prevents asphalt sticking Tyre wetting system — water or diesel spray to prevent asphalt pickup on tyres
Best For Earthworks, sub-base/base course, rock fill compaction, dam construction, heavy civil projects Asphalt paving — highways, streets, parking lots, airport runways. The go-to roller for any hot-mix asphalt project. Final surface sealing, chip-seal projects, granular base pre-sealing. Always the last roller in a paving train.

Drum Configuration, Vibration Tech & Compaction Options

Drum Types & Surface Options:
Smooth Drum: Standard on all single-drum soil compactors — steel drum with machined surface for uniform compaction. Padfoot Shell (Sheepfoot): Bolt-on segmented padfoot drum shells — trapezoidal or club-shaped pads concentrate pressure to break down cohesive clay, silt, and heavy soils. Essential for dam cores and landfill lining. Combination Drum (Combi): One steel drum + one set of pneumatic tyres on the rear axle — combines vibratory compaction on one end with tyre kneading on the other. Split Drum (Tandem): Front and rear drums independently driven and vibrated — eliminates scuffing on tight turns and allows single-drum operation for edge work.
Vibration System & Frequency Control:
Dual-Frequency / Dual-Amplitude: Standard on XCMG XS series and SANY SSR series — two vibration frequencies and two amplitudes, selectable from the cab. Low frequency + high amplitude for deep lift compaction; high frequency + low amplitude for thin lifts and finish rolling. Infinitely Variable Frequency: On premium models (XCMG XS223JE, SANY SSR220C-8) — operator dials exact Hz to match material resonance for maximum density with minimum passes. Auto Vibration Control: Vibration auto-engages when roller moves forward, auto-disengages when stationary — prevents over-compaction and drum flat-spotting. Vertical vs Circular Vibration: Vertical vibratory system (XCMG patented) — vibration force aligned perpendicular to the surface for maximum compaction efficiency. Circular systems waste energy in horizontal movement.
Drive & Gradeability:
Hydrostatic Drive: Closed-loop hydrostatic transmission on both drum and wheels — infinitely variable speed, smooth start/stop without jerking (critical for asphalt). No clutch wear items. Traction Control: Anti-slip hydraulic flow divider — automatically transfers torque to the axle with grip when one side slips on loose or wet material. Gradeability: 30%–45% slope capability depending on model — single-drum rollers with padfoot shells can climb and compact dam faces and embankment slopes. All-Wheel Drive (Tandem): Front drum + rear drum + rear wheels all driven — eliminates pushing of material and improves gradeability on hot, soft asphalt.
Compaction Measurement & Intelligent Control:
Compaction Meter / CMV: Cab display showing real-time compaction meter value — the roller measures drum rebound acceleration and calculates relative soil stiffness. Green-yellow-red indicator tells operator when target density is reached — no over-compaction, no missed spots. GPS Compaction Mapping: Optional Topcon/Trimble machine control — records pass count, CMV data, and drum position on a site map. Delivers a digital compaction report for QA/QC documentation. Intelligent Compaction (IC): Roller auto-adjusts vibration amplitude and frequency based on real-time stiffness feedback — standard on XCMG XS-JE intelligent series. Reduces passes by 10–20%, eliminates human judgment error, and generates ISO-compliant compaction reports.
Padfoot Shell & Site-Specific Configurations:
Bolt-On Padfoot Segments: Factory-supplied bolt-on padfoot shell kit — converts a smooth drum single-drum roller into a padfoot compactor in under 2 hours with basic tools. Segmented design: damaged pads replaced individually, not the entire shell. Pad Types: Club-foot (standard, ~140 cm² per pad) for general cohesive soils; trapezoidal (wide base, ~200 cm²) for softer cohesive soils requiring less penetration; tapered point (narrow, ~90 cm²) for maximum penetration in very stiff clay. Scraper Bar: Heavy-duty spring-loaded scraper bar on the drum — self-cleaning, prevents soil and clay buildup between pads. Essential for cohesive soil compaction where pad clogging is common.
Cab, Safety & Operator Comfort:
ROPS/FOPS Cab: ISO 3471/3449 certified roll-over and falling-object protective structure — now standard on almost all XCMG XS/XD series export models. 360° Visibility: Panoramic glass cab, floor-to-ceiling curved windshield, sliding side windows, wide-angle mirrors, and optional 360° camera system — the operator sees the drum edges and all surroundings from a seated position. Suspension Seat + Isolation: Multi-axis mechanical or air-ride suspension seat with adjustable lumbar support, combined with vibration-isolated operator platform — reduces whole-body vibration exposure (below EU Directive 2002/44/EC limits even in vibratory mode). Air Conditioning: Factory HVAC with pressurized cab, dust filtration — essential for Middle East, Africa, and tropical climates where rollers operate in 40°C+ heat on black asphalt.
