Broons’ broken road fix
IF a haul road is failing, don’t ever dig it up again.
Australian specialist compaction equipment manufacturer Broons has the answer to this underlying problem; stop looking down, its right up on top.
For 30 years, the Adelaide engineering company has been manufacturing the world’s best flat drum roller; and its square.
While the rest of the world thinks a roller should be round, Broons has made its mark upon the earth with its flat, four sided Impact Roller.
The Broons Square Impact Roller is a revolutionary deep down soil compactor with no equal.
While traditional vibrating rollers run out of energy at about 300mm layer thickness, the heavy hitting Broons’ Impact Roller is still going strong at more than two metres in some cases; nothing else comes close for depth of influence and productivity.
Towed at 10kph, Broons’ Impact Roller uses its significant force to compact the most difficult materials.
Delivering more than 50kJ of energy with every blow – twice a second – the Square Roller operates across a wide range of moisture contents far better than the standard vibrating roller.
Output can exceed 2000 cubic metres per hour in loose fill (that’s a lot).
Not only is the Impact Roller ideal for fixing failing haul roads, it has a proven track record on rehabilitation works compacting waste dumps and capping layers.
Ideal for big volume compaction on tailings dams along with rubbilising rock on tip heads and pit floors to minimise expensive tyre damage, this multipurpose roller can benefit on every mine site.
Every machine is MDG15 compliant and comes coupled up to a certified 4WD tow tractor all kitted up ready to go.
