Ammann Offers New Light Tandem Roller

Ammann, Langenthal, Switzerland, offers its new light tandem roller with “petrol” power and side-free drums to enable compaction in tight job sites. The Ammann ARX 10.1 StV uses the Honda GX630 (15.5 kW / 21HP) engine, to meet the latest EU Stage V/U.S. EPA Phase III emission regulations. The engine is more compact than its diesel counterpart. The smaller size enables positioning that allows cooling from all sides, helping the machine to perform in hot ambient temperatures.

Beyond size, the use of petrol brings several other advantages, including the typically lower cost of gasoline versus diesel and there being no need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF).

This all-new compactor is the first in a line of Ammann light tandem rollers with gas engines that meet EU Stage V and U.S. EPA Phase III emissions standards.

The Ammann ARX10.1 StV incorporates uniquely designed drum consoles installed from a single side. This innovation is known as “side-free drums.” The drums are support-free on the operator’s right side. This allows compaction work on the tightest of job sites. Drum working widths are 35.4 inches and drums are installed in-line.

The front drum is equipped with a vibratory system capable of delivering 16.4kN @ 76 Hz of compaction power. The rear drum is static and has no vibratory unit. The pressurized water sprinkling system has a tank capacity of 29.1 gallons. An interval water flow regulation mechanism, controlled by the operator, ensures optimal water flow and extends sprinkling time. A two-stage filtration system (water inlet and central filter) is easy to reach and can be cleaned without draining the tank, according to the manufacturer.

The compactor is essential for use on small repair works in city centres, malls and business areas, cycle paths and other applications.
