SAKAI’s Compact Roller Line Increases Productivity SAKAI America’s 300 Series rollers consist of three small double drum steel and two combination steel/pneumatic tire roller models, all of which boast a high frequency of 4,000 vpm. This translates into higher operating speeds, while still maintaining the industry standard of 10 to 12 impacts per ft. The higher operating speeds and high frequency of the 300 Series allow contractors to get more compaction work completed before the asphalt cools and to achieve excellent compaction quickly. This process increases productivity and along with machined drums and beveled drum edges, leaves a smooth, well compacted result, according to the manufacturer. The SW300-1, SW320-1 and SW330-1 double drum rollers have drum widths of 39, 47 and 51 in. (99, 119 and 129 cm) respectively and are ideally suited for smaller scale jobs like municipal roads, driveways, parking lots, sports courts and bicycle paths. SAKAI’s TW320-1 and

The hydraulic system has been designed with conveniently located pressure gauge ports for easy access. SAKAI’s water spray system features brass spray nozzles that can be easily changed by hand, a triple filtration system to prevent debris from clogging the system, emergency back-up pumps and a drainage system for clean-out and winterization. SAKAI also offers a release agent to keep asphalt from sticking to the pneumatic tires of the TW320-1 and TW330-1 models during warm-up. This release agent is stored in a separate tank and uses an independent spray bar and pump to keep it from mixing with the main water tank and spray system.
