What is a road roller?
Road Roller is a piece of equipment primarily used in road construction. It causes materials such as asphalt, gravel and impurities to become evenly compressed and levels. Usually the road cylinder is composed of the cylinder body and at least one metal drum. Sometimes a road cylinder may have two or even three drums, depending on the project. In most cases, the person is controlled by a cylinder, but there are some basic models in which a person pushes the cylinder body to form a surface level.
Although the road cylinder may seem like modern equipment, it has existed for centuries. Although it was first used under horse force, the horses were eventually replaced by steam energy in 1860. In 1900, the steam cylinder was replaced by cylinders that were powered by other sources such as diesel.
Generally, the road cylinder applies when the weight of the drum that is connected to the cylinder body causes the materials to compress and become compact. Heights may vary significantly. The drum of manual road rollerCE can only weigh £ 100 (about 45.4 kg). The manual road cylinder would not be used to design roads, but is often used for paved sidewalks or other small projects. Some industrial road rollers that are used to build roads and highways weigh more than 25 short tons (about 22,679 kg).
usually comes the main weight of the cylinder on the road from the drum, which is attached to the body of the cylinder. The weight of the drum can be increased in many models by adding water. The water is heavy, but after the construction project is completed, it can be exhausted from the drum. Then, as a result of its lighter weight, it is easier to transport.
In many cases, several different road cylinders can be used for one construction project. For example, a cylinder with one drum and tires can be used. Then, Once, the building area becomes a level, a cylinder with metal drums, instead of tires, can be used to do that ABY was the building area as compact as possible.
There are many different models of road cylinders and each offers something different. For example, some rollers emit water based on water. The lubricant works to prevent materials such as dirt and asphalt to keep the drum. Some models have vibrating systems that work to make asphalt or other material even more compact.
