What issues should we pay attention to when using a road roller?

A road roller, also known as a soil compactor, is a type of construction machinery equipment commonly used in road construction and maintenance. It is mainly used for compaction operations on roadbeds, pavements, embankments, cofferdams, building foundations, etc. The purpose of compaction is to overcome the cohesion and internal friction between materials through methods such as rolling and impact, eliminate gas and moisture inside them, force displacement between material particles, wedge each other tightly, and increase density. To achieve a certain degree of density and smoothness

How to operate most rollers？

When operating a road roller, a series of procedures need to be followed to ensure construction safety and compaction results. These procedures include, but are not limited to：

1. The road roller should start before starting to vibrate. The internal combustion engine should be set to medium speed first and then to high speed.

2. Stop the engine first when changing speed and reversing direction, and reduce the speed of the internal combustion engine when changing speed.

3. It is strictly prohibited to vibrate the roller on solid ground.

4. When rolling soft roadbed, you should first roll it 1 to 2 times without vibrating, and then vibrate again.

5. When changing direction or stopping, the vibration should be stopped first, then the reversing mechanism should be placed in the middle position, the transmission should be placed in neutral, and finally the hand brake lever should be pulled up. The internal combustion engine should idle for a few minutes and then turn off.

With the advancement of science and technology, modern road rollers are developing in the direction of automation and intelligence. The new roller is equipped with advanced sensors and control systems, which can 

monitor the degree of compaction in real time, automatically adjust compaction parameters, and improve construction efficiency and quality.
