HIGHLIGHT 3 - BALLASTING

GENERAL

Special highlights of the machine are its many ballasting options. Supreme flexibility and safety:

- Ideal weight distribution

- No fixed ballast

- The operating weight can be quickly and easily modified by as much as 16.8 t / 37,038 lbs (HP 280) or 10 t / 22,046 lbs (HP 180)

- Additional disk brakes as from 20 t / 44,092 lbs (HP 280)

BALLASTING CHAMBERS

MATERIAL AND WEIGHT VARIANTS

The weight of the machine can also be flexibly varied using a variety of different materials. So-called ballast kits are configured using the different materials. Here at the example of HP 280:

SELF-BALLASTING (OPTION)

With the optional self-ballasting feature there is an additional ballast (magnetite or steel) at the rear.

Ballast chamber A with a 2 m3 size also be used for self-ballasting, meaning the champer is closed off at the bottom by a plate so that customers can increase the machine's weight by packing in other material such as scrap metal, sand, etc. There are fill openings on the right and left sides of the machine. When using packed with sand, for example, about 4.2 tons of additional operating weight can be gained.

ADDITIONAL WATER TANK (OPTION)

In addition to its own ballast, an additional water tank (HP 180 with 10 t / 22,046 lbs or HP 280 with 12 t / 26,456 lbs) is optionally available. This allows an additional useful volume of 1,500 l (396,3 gal lqd) in total for sprinkling, water extraction on construction sites or as additional weight. With the optional additional water tank there is an additional ballast (magnetite or steel) at the rear. Please note: The weight of the HP 280 can be increased by up to 16.8 t (37,038 lbs) in total or by up to 14 t (30,865 lbs) for the HP 180.

2 water tanks (connected to basic water tank)	C-pipe connection for convenient quick filling. The tanks have two further functions alongside their additional ballasting:   - Increase water supply   - Supply other rollers with water (quick draining by pump)

WHEEL LOAD

The wheel load on each tyre is a key factor in relation to pneumatic-tyre rollers. Due to flexible ballasting, the wheel load can be easily increased or decreased. You can see the wheel loads of the different possible operating weights based on the example of the HP 280. The compaction force (wheel load) can be configured by way of ballast kits:

The compaction force (wheel load) can be configured by way of ballast kits:

- 6 kits available ex factory or through Parts Service

- Optimum weight distribution guaranteed

- The tyre pressure should be adapted to the configured weight.

HIGHLIGHT 4 - DRIVE

GENERAL

HYDROSTATIC DRIVE

The hydrostatic drive permits responsive driving and braking of the machine.

ENGINE DEUTZ

The machines of the HP series have Deutz engines. 

ASC (OPTION)

- The ASC (Anti Slip Control) feature provides improved traction to the driven (rear) wheels on rough terrain and prevents wheel spinning. ASC is available as an option.

HAMMTRONIC

- Outstanding straight-ahead running

- Compensation on profile runs

- Generous tyre overlap permits full coverage

Levelling

Type overlap

FRONT-AXEL STEERING

All front wheel steering (like a car). Independent steering (two-point): More stability, as the wheel pairs always stay under the frame. 8 wheels (4 front + 4 rear), overlapping

FRONT AXEL/ REAR AXEL (HP 280)

Front axle

- Levelling of both pairs of tyres (dampers)

- Adaption to different soil conditions

Rear axle

- Hydrostatic drive

- Responsive, smooth driving

CONNECTING THE DAMPERS

The dampers are connected to each other by a hydraulic hose. This permits smooth level compensation.

BRAKE SYSTEMS (HP 280 ONLY)

No other competitor offers a second brake system.

The brake pedal for the rear and front axle brakes (required as from 20 t / 44,092 lbs operating weight) is always fixed on the seat operating unit. This means the ultra-high-performance brake is always quickly and easily accessible for the operator (whatever the seat position).

FRONT AXEL (HP 180)

Front axle suspension - HP 180:

- Systematic design: Lifting tube

- This model series has no brakes on the front axle

- Permissible for machine with operating weight < 18 t (39,683 lbs)

HIGHLIGHT 5 - TYRES

GENERAL

Naturally, the tyres play an important role in a pneumatic tyre roller. Subsequently, we consider some features and application-technical aspects. We use tyres from: HAMM, Dunlop, Michelin

TYRE OVERLAP

The generous tyre overlap permits full coverage of the area being compacted, even on bends

FRONT AXEL LEVEL COMPENSATION

The front wheel suspension is by self-aligning bearings and springs. Optimal adjustment to particular ground conditions, such as straight crossfall or offset

TYRE PRESURE - TYRE FOOTPRINT

Adding or removing ballast: If the operating weight is modified by adding or removing ballast, the tyre pressure must be checked and adjusted as necessary.

The compaction effect and depth of a pneumatic-tyre roller depend on the wheel load, the internal tyre pressure and the roller speed. So the tyre pressure and wheel footprint are crucial.

- Optimum air pressure: The pneumatic tyres are contacting on the asphalt over the complete wheel width, and are able to disperse the weight evenly into the ground.

- Excessive air pressure: The contact surface of the tyre curves outwards. The force is concentrated on the central area of the tyre – uniform compaction is not achieved.

- Insufficient air pressure: The contact surface of the tyre curves inwards. The force is concentrated on the outer area of the tyre – uniform compaction is not achieved.

- Tyre inflation system (option): The tyre inflation system helps set and monitor the desired tyre pressures on all eight wheels. The air pressure is adjustable from 4 to 8 bar. For quick and easy tyre pressure varying, the pressure of all eight tyres can be regulated while driving by an optional tyre inflation system. The air pressure in the tyres is varied using the buttons on the dashboard, with the current pressure being indicated on the display. The tyre inflation system is a time-saver in day-to-day working, and also aids compaction quality.

TYRES - OPTIONS

In addition to the tyre inflation system, thermal aprons are also available as an option for the HP 180 and HP 280. 

DASHBOARD VIEW

1. Tyre pressure info display, 2. System info, 3. Preset adjustment

HIGHLIGHT 6 - SPRINKLING

GENERAL

Uniform wetting of the tyres must be ensured.

As the HP series is deployed particularly on asphalt, it has a sprinkling system. Water sprinkling:

- Large water tank with a 650 l (171.7 gal lqd) capacity

- Water sprinkling adjustable in five stages

- Constant water flow rate thanks to automatic adaptation to running speed

- Additional water via joystick

- Quick and safe filling thanks to steps and guard rails

OPERATION OF THE WATER SPRINKLING SYSTEM FROM THE DASHBOARD

1. Selecting sprinkling level / Sprinkling level display,  2. Activating/deactivating the water sprinkling system,  3. Continuous sprinkling: Tyres are sprinkled for as long as the button is kept pressed (sprinkling is also possible at standstill) 

Note: When additive sprinkling is active the tyres are sprinkled with release agent emulsion.

SPRINKLING SYSTEMS

Water sprinkling by HP 180 and HP 280:

- 1 water pump supplies the tyres and the edge pressing and cutting equipment (option)

- Spray bar and nozzles easily accessible

- Optionally plastic brushes, scrapers or brushes with cocomat inlay

- Additive sprinkling optional

WATER SPRINKLING SYSTEM

Water sprinkling is provided by a system comprising various components.

Water tank (650 l / 171.7 gal lqd)

In conjunction with the additional water tank option, the machine can be quickly filled through the C-pipe pressurised filling system in 2 to 3 minutes. The additional water tank increases the total capacity to 2,150 l (568 gal lqd)

Water filling point

Step for water tank filling, foldable (option)

TRIPLE WATER FILTERING

It is only necessary to sprinkle the tyre at the start of the compaction process. When the tyres are warmed up, sprinkling is only necessary in extreme conditions.

ADDITIVE SPRINKLING SYSTEM

The tyres are normally sprinkled with water. However, they can alternatively be sprinkled with an emulsion (additive/water mixture).

- Automatic additive input after setting mixing ratio

- Constant mixing ratio

- Mixing ratios 1:1, 1:2, 1:5, 1:10 and 1:20

- No risk of mixture separation, as the emulsion is mixed directly in front of the nozzle.

- Additive no longer has to be mixed by hand

Until they have warmed up, the tyres must be protected by additive to prevent asphalt sticking to them. There is a Service Information Sheet, “Wirtgen Group Asphalt Anti Stick”, on the subject of additive.

OPERATION OF THE ADDITIVE SPRINKLING SYSTEM

The new additive sprinkling system permits automatic dosing and mixing directly as required. 

1. Indicator light 2. Additive sprinkling button

SCRAPERS

Scrapers clear soil and asphalt, as well as other contaminants, from the smooth tyres. They also hold the water film on the asphalt, and enable uniform wetting. The scrapers are available in different variants. However, no scraper is used in certain cases.

The brush scrapers are also available cocomat inlay.

PVC scraper

SPRINKLING - OPTIONS

ANTIFREEZE FILLING SYSTEM

Unit for topping-up the sprinkling system with antifreeze. This prevents the water nozzles, pumps and pipework from freezing up.

LOCKABLE WATER TANK

FRONT-GRILLE GUARD, WATER TANK

Metal pipe to protect the water tank from damage. Mounted around the lamp holder and the water tank (front)

HIGTLIGHT 7 - COMPACTION

GENERAL

APPLICATION

Pneumatic-tyre rollers are used in asphalt construction mainly for pre-compaction, final compaction and sealing. Other applications are in cold recycling and in landscaping. When compacting a surface course, pre-compaction by pneumatic-tyre rollers is not advisable owing to the thinness of the layer (meaning tyre imprints would be left)

PRE-COMPACTION

SEALING IN ASPHALT CONTRUCTION

A low tyre pressure is recommended when sealing.

SEALING IN EARTHWORK

A low tyre pressure is recommended when sealing.

TYRE OVERLAP

The tyres overlap to avoid imprints in the asphalt. Four pneumatic wheels are spaced on each axle. The pneumatic tyres on the front and rear axles overlap each other.

TYRE TEMPERATURE

When a tyre temperature of approximately 80-90 °C (176-194 °F) is reached, water or additive sprinkling can normally be switched off, as the asphalt is no longer sticking to the tyre. Adherence of asphalt to the tyres may once more occur at higher temperatures, especially above approximately 150–160 °C (302–320 °F). In this case, the water sprinkling system must always be reactivated.

HAMM Temperature Meter (option) - The HAMM Temperature Meter is offered as an aid to operators. Buttons can be used to set the limits for the asphalt temperature. If the machine measures a temperature that is outside the pre-set range, the info display switches between the asphalt temperature and the upper or lower temperature limit that was exceeded or not reached.

COMPACTION - OPTIONS

There are more options in addition to the HAMM Temperature Meter which will help create an optimal road surface.

HCQ

Measurement and documentation modules for monitoring and controlling compaction and the compaction processes, providing full-area compaction control. HAMM Temperature Meter = Measurement and display of the surface temperature of the asphalt being compacted HCQ Navigator = Satellite-assisted documentation system for capturing and displaying all key compaction parameters and the compaction progress of one or more rollers.

EDGE PRESSING AND CUTTING EQUIPMENT

Both methods can only be used on warm asphalt.

- Edge pressing equipment: The edge pressing equipment is used to slope and compact asphalt to create contact surfaces.

- Edge cutting equipment: The cutting equipment can be used to create a clean edge.

OPERATION OF THE EDGE PRESSING AND CUTTING EQUIPMENT

DASHBOARD	THUMB ROCKER
Button: Switch water sprinkling on and off   Lower edge pressing and cutting equipment: Sprinkling starts automatically   Raise edge pressing and cutting equipment: Sprinkling off when raised for at least 2 seconds	To raise and lower the cutting wheel/pressure roller   Up: Raise   Down: Lower
