Production starts of new Rammax 1575 CI articulated trench roller

Following its introduction at bauma 2013, Ammann’s latest articulated Rammax 1575 CI trench roller is going into production at the firm’s Langenthal site in Switzerland. Ammann has more than 40 years’ experience in the construction of these special machines based on the Rammax product range.

Following its introduction at 688 Bauma 2013, 6791 Ammann’s latest articulated Rammax 1575 CI trench roller is going into production at the firm’s Langenthal site in Switzerland.

Ammann has more than 40 years’ experience in the construction of these special machines based on the Rammax product range. Today, Ammann is able to offer both articulated trench rollers in the form of the new Rammax 1575 CI and the tried and tested Rammax 1585 with skid steering. Customers can therefore choose the machine that best fulfils their specific requirements.

Users are said to have played a decisive role in the development of the new trench roller. Surveys were carried out among numerous operators, construction companies, plant hire providers and service personnel prior to starting development activities. Ammann's engineers then consistently applied the insights gained from the surveys in the machine's design.

Ammann claims the new Rammax 1575 CI sets new standards with regard to safety, technology and emissions. The water-cooled diesel engine from 7139 Yanmar is said to be a guarantor of reliability, low noise generation and low fuel consumption and is fully compliant with the latest emission standards. The pendulum function of the articulated joint enables the machine to adapt to the substrate and ensures outstanding compaction results in many areas, such as trench and pipeline construction, backfilling for bridges and other structures, and embankment and landfill construction.

Trench rollers, also known as multi-purpose compactors, are characterised by their huge compaction force transferred to cohesive soil types. These soil types usually have a high water content and are very difficult to compact without a high level of compaction energy and the additional kneading effect of the padfoot drums. Compaction is just as fast and effective on many other types of substrate.

Four powerful hydraulic engines are behind the outstanding traction and compaction results achieved by the Rammax 1575 CI. Two hydraulic steering cylinders guarantee dynamic handling and perfect manoeuvrability, even in the most confined spaces.

The maintenance-free articulated pendulum joint is said to be the first in this class. It guarantees that all four drums remain in permanent contact with the substrate for ideal traction and compaction; in conjunction with the low centre of gravity it also increases stability against tipping. The articulated steering of the 1575 CI is equipped with sliding Teflon bearings – it is not necessary to lubricate the bearings with a grease gun at any time during the machine's working life, thus reducing maintenance costs and downtimes for servicing. Daily maintenance points are readily accessible whilst a spacious engine room opening provides easy access to the hydraulic and electrical systems and other service points.
