Hydraulic transmission at the service of construction machinery

Road construction is a technical science based on the perfect harmony between many construction machines. At the heart of this coordination are compactors, crucial instruments in the quest for an impeccable and durable road surface. Poclain , with more than 40 years of expertise, plays a decisive role with its innovative hydraulic transmissions adapted to these essential machines.

Innovation and Reliability

The design of compactors must not only meet strict performance requirements but also withstand extreme conditions. Challenges include resistance to high-frequency vibration, managing the slow and constant movements required for homogeneous compaction, as well as the ability to provide sufficient torque to climb slopes, including when loading onto trucks.

A tandem compactor, for example, is vital for compacting paving materials such as asphalt and compacted concrete with a roller. Equipped with two cylindrical drums, many of which are vibrating or oscillating, these rollers significantly improve compaction performance. Their role is to densify the asphalt or soil layer by reducing air voids and optimizing the arrangement of aggregates. This method increases the strength and service life of the road surface.

An Adaptable and Efficient Technology

Poclain's transmission motors are designed to meet these challenges, ensuring a high-quality road surface. Their advanced technology allows easy integration into the compactor drum while providing the necessary robustness for continuous and efficient operations. Whether for small or large machines, up to 16 tons, Poclain offers solutions adapted to each need.

The durability of a road depends significantly on the quality of the compaction during its construction. With Poclain hydraulic transmission technologies, road builders have access to tools that not only meet current challenges but also pave the way for future innovations in road construction. This is how Poclain continues to redefine standards in the road construction industry, ensuring safer and more sustainable roads for all.
