The most common method for compacting soil is to combine a single-drum compactor with a “padfoot” compactor if necessary.
However, in recent years, compaction technology has provided us with new ideas and methods to increase benefits, performance, and working speed.
The use of pneumatic tyre rollers in this type of work is very old, but not many companies are aware of its benefits.
The CCR 21.35 is the most powerful pneumatic tyre roller in the world, especially for soil compaction.
This compactor can compact with a wheel load of 5,000 kg and a pressure of more than 6.5 kg/cm2. This means that the compaction bulbs are wider and deeper, resulting in a kneading effect, allowing for the compaction of thicker or thinner layers in fewer passes than any other machine.
It’s suitable for any type of soil compaction work that can’t be performed by any other roller on the market, but it’s even better because the applied pressure is even greater.
It can be used with treaded tires to compact clay or silty-clay soils. These tires, like a pad-foot roller, consist of a pattern of treads sculpted into the rubber, reducing surface contact and ensuring extremely high surface pressure.
They are capable of penetrating deep into the soil layer to generate a compaction effect from the inside out.
The pressure applied to the surface with this type of tire can reach 9 kg/cm2, unmatched by any other compactor.
