Compaction Equipment Drum Rebuild

Drum rebuilds on compaction equipment address wear and damage that crash productivity or cause catastrophic failure. Common issues include bearing and seal wear resulting in excess play, drum shell damage such as flats or cracks, padfoot segment loss, and vibratory exciter faults. Atlas diagnoses bearing runout using dial indicators and checks for excessive endplay. Shell cracks and impact damage are evaluated for weld repair or section replacement. Vibratory systems are inspected for exciter shaft wear and isolation mount deterioration. On padfoot rollers, missing or worn segments are replaced using threaded fasteners or plug welds, depending on OEM design. Field rebuilds include removal of end covers, excavating failed bearing races, pressing new bearings on with heat as required, and resealing with high-performance grease suitable for wet or clay-rich terrain found in the region. Drum and bracket welds are repaired using flux-core or stick welding to ensure structural integrity in field conditions. Service is applied on single-drum, double-drum, and trench compactors from CAT, Bomag, Hamm, Volvo, and other brands. Mobile rebuild eliminates the need to haul multi-ton rollers to a distant shop, minimizing downtime and transport cost.
