The ground skating rink belongs to the class of special equipment for repair construction and road works. First of all, such a machine is intended for stabilization and compaction of soil masses: foundations of sand, gravel, clay, stone or rock crumbs.
Classification
The main part of the roller is a roller, which is a large cylinder installed instead of wheels. Each machine is equipped with two rollers - master and follower. It is depending on the design features of this working body that soil rollers are classified.
Soil skating rink: types
1. With smooth rollers (cylinder working surface is smooth). Such a machine is intended for compaction of loose soil and asphalt paving.
2. With cam rollers: the surface of the working body is covered with truncated pyramidal protrusions (cams). It is used both for leveling and compaction of soft soil, and on harder frozen soils.
3. With trellised rollers: cylinder surface profile - trellised or in the form of cast disks. Such a soil skating rink is intended for those types of work where, apart from compaction, crushing of large fragments of soil is required. This technology provides good sealability.
4. With pneumatic rollers. The working body consists of a system of wheels separated by gaps.
If the soil skating rink has several different rollers, then it is called combined. Still rollers are classified by the number of rollers on one, two and three rollers.
Separately, it is worth highlighting the vibratory soil roller. Recently, it is this kind of special equipment that has become widespread. A distinctive feature of such a roller is that the working body vibrates, creating an additional load on the soil base. This allows you to make one pass where a conventional soil skating rink should make two or three. In fact, this technology helps to carry out road and repair construction works several times faster without loss of quality.
There are rollers in size. There are miniature manual machines with a working cylinder length of only 20-30 cm, and there is a powerful self-propelled technique with superheavy rollers (more than 15 tons) and a working body length of 1.5 meters or more.
The soil skating rink is a special technique that helps to greatly simplify the process of creating roads, platforms, foundations, parking lots and other objects. The only thing this type of machine cannot boast of is speed. For modern models, it is only 14 km / h, which is quite a lot if you remember that most rollers cannot move at speeds above 3-5 km / h.
And the last question: how much does an ice rink cost? The price can fluctuate greatly, depending on the specific type of machine, technical specifications and brand of the manufacturer. Price range - from 1,600 thousand rubles. up to 4 million rubles. If the soil skating rink is needed only for one-time work, you can rent equipment. Rental price - from 1000 to 15 000 rubles. You can choose a cheaper option, for example, for compacting the soil for the tracks around the house, a manual asphalt and soil compactor is suitable (rent - from 800 rubles).
