A double drum, or tandem, roller is specifically designed for compacting hot mix asphalt (HMA) in paving projects. It is also effective for compacting granular sub-base materials like sand and gravel before paving begins.

The machine uses a combination of its static weight and vibration to compact material. Both the front and rear steel drums can vibrate at high frequencies, which helps settle the asphalt particles into a dense, interlocking mat.

The water spray system is critical. It sprays a thin film of water onto the steel drums to prevent the hot, sticky asphalt from clinging to them. This ensures a smooth, unmarred finish on the pavement surface.

The size is determined by the drum width. Smaller rollers (e.g., 36-48 inches) are great for driveways, patches, and tight areas. Larger rollers (e.g., 66 inches or more) are used for parking lots and road construction to cover more area with each pass.

These are the three phases of asphalt compaction. Breakdown rolling is the initial compaction done right behind the paver when the asphalt is hottest. Intermediate rolling continues the compaction process. Finish rolling is the final pass, often with vibration turned off, to smooth out any last marks on the surface.
