Designed for heavy-duty compaction tasks, it is ideal for compacting granular and mixed materials, including cohesive content, as well as hot or cold asphalt in confined areas such as parking lots, highways, and close to structures, kerbs, and abutments. This model offers exceptional performance and durability, making it suitable for both contractors and rental applications. Design and Build Quality Constructed with a robust baseplate measuring 450 mm in width, the PCX 16/45 enhances manoeuvrability and compaction efficiency. The foldable mounted guide handle provides superior control and can be lowered to operate under obstacles and close to formwork. Reinforced components, such as the centrifugal clutch, ensure extended belt life and simplified maintenance. The robust design is built to withstand demanding applications, ensuring longevity and reliability. Key Technologies and Features High Performance Compaction: Delivers a centrifugal force of 16 kN, achieving excellent travel speed and compaction force, thereby reducing operating times. Low Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV): Engineered to produce low HAV levels, allowing extended operating periods with reduced operator fatigue. Integrated Water Spray System: Features a large-capacity water tank built into the protective frame, with angled spray bar holes ensuring complete water coverage over the full plate width, preventing asphalt pick-up on the plate bottom. Enhanced Manoeuvrability: Equipped with a foldable guide handle and optional compact wheel kit for easy transportation and operation in confined spaces. Durable Construction: Reinforced centrifugal clutch and life-lubricated vibration bearings contribute to reduced maintenance and extended machine lifespan.
