Improved Vibration System

Waterproof Balourds The B series uses the proven Cat sealed balourd housing vibration system. The circuit design significantly reduces the risk of contamination, which is common in conventional designs that use metal counterweights. Offering unmatched reliability and performance, the Cat sealed balourd housing vibration system requires virtually no maintenance, with the first maintenance period set at 3 years or 3,000 hours. Increased Amplitude The B series vibrating soil compactors offer improved compaction performance thanks to increased amplitude. The maximum amplitude is now one of the highest in the industry, providing superior soil compaction energy transfer capacity. Automatic Vibration A new automatic vibration function is available. If vibration is engaged, it stops when the compactor speed drops below a predetermined value. When the translation resumes, the vibration restarts at a predetermined speed. This feature contributes to high-quality and consistent work. Padfoot Drum The padfoot drums are perfectly suited for compacting cohesive and semi-cohesive materials. They can also be equipped with exclusive Cat oval padfoot or conventional square padfoot. The oval design allows for deeper penetration, contributing to better overall compaction on cohesive soils compared to other padfoot designs. The square design provides optimal performance on semi-cohesive soils. It has a larger surface area, allowing for good surface density, but the wider face does not allow for deep penetration.
