A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The main types are smooth drums for final finishing and padfoot or pneumatic-tired drums for deeper soil compaction. Smooth drums provide a smooth surface, while padfoot drums have protrusions for kneading action, and pneumatic-tired drums use rubber tires for static pressure.
Drum diameter and width affect compaction width and stability. Larger drums cover more area per pass but may be less maneuverable. The choice depends on the job site dimensions, required compaction depth, and machine capacity. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications for the intended application.
Vibration frequency and amplitude determine the dynamic force applied to the material. Higher frequencies are often used for asphalt to achieve smoothness, while higher amplitudes are for thick soil layers. The optimal settings depend on material type and layer thickness, and must be adjusted based on field conditions.
Regular maintenance includes checking for wear on the drum shell, inspecting bearings and seals, and ensuring the vibration system is functioning properly. Surface hardness and shell thickness should be monitored. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule and use genuine parts.
