The CB-500 D-Series Asphalt Compactors offer compaction performance, application
versatility and operator comfort in order to maximize productivity while providing
exceptional product quality.
Vibratory Systems
Pod-style eccentric weights with more
amplitude selections provide peak
compaction performance and minimal
service. The high dynamic force helps
achieve density in the fewest number of
passes.
The Versa Vibe™vibratory system
provides both high amplitude or high
frequency in one machine for working
on tough superpave mixes or on tender
marshall mixes.
The dual amplitude/dual frequency
vibratory system provides the capability
of working in high frequency on thin
lift applications.

CB-564D
The CB-564D includes a 2.13 m (84")
drum for increased lane coverage. It is a
versatile machine that provides
Versa Vibe as the standard vibratory
system. The compactor can be used in
breakdown or intermediate positions.
When in the static mode, the CB-564D
can be used in the finish position.

Drum Spray System
The entire drum spray system is
corrosion-proof and includes a large
water tank with a single fill port and
drain valve.
The system consists of two diaphragm
pumps driven by electric motors. Only
one pump operates at a time, supplying
pressurized water to both sets of drum
spray bars. The pump operation is
controlled from operator’s station. The
system provides complete back-up
capability controlled from operator’s
station.
Spray can be set on continuous for
maximum wetting action or intermittent
for maximum duration between fill-ups.
The “Auto” selection pulls water from
one pump traveling forward and from
the other pump while traveling
backward. The spray nozzles on the
drum can be easily removed for
replacement or cleaning without the
need for tools.
