Rollers are essential in small engine equipment like asphalt pavers and compactors. When these rollers malfunction, your project falls behind, bringing additional costs with it. Prime Source keeps your rollers in great condition so your team can stay on schedule.
Common Roller Issues in Small Engine Equipment
Roller equipment can experience a range of malfunctions, including:
- Drum and vibratory systems: Motors deliver vibrations to roller drums for compaction, but issues like asphalt pickup, low hydraulic flow, worn bevels, or exciter leaks can lead to weaker operation, excess wear, or total failure.
- Water spray and cleaning: Water spray systems are essential for clearing hot asphalt and other materials from the roller during compaction. However, this system can malfunction due to cracked lines, clogged nozzles, algae in the tanks, and split pumps that lower efficiency.
- Drive, steering and hydraulics: The drive and hydraulics are key to delivering power to the rollers. Problems like faulty brake valves, leaking hoses, hydrostatic pump wear, and bushing wear can disrupt power flow and slow or stop operation.
- Cooling and electrical: Plugged coolers, failing reversing fans, and sensor faults can lead to overheating and performance issues.
