Semi Automatic Compactor

Now a days almost every soil laboratory conducts compaction and penetration tests on soils. In both standard and heavy compaction tests the operator has to count the number of blows of the rammers on each layer of soil during compaction. A mechanically cum electrically operated semi-automatic compactor is therefore device to eliminate hand compaction process. Which also considerably saves time with the Rammers provided two stroke lengths, available, the compactor can be used for normal compaction/heavy compaction as well as C.B.R compaction.

Specification :

It is a motor driven mechanical compactor useful for soil compaction into 100 mm or 150 mm diameter moulds. Two sets of Rammers are provided, one of 2.6 kg and arranged for 310 mm drop and other 4.89 kg and arranged for 450 mm drop. For compaction soil into 150 mm dia mould, 100 mm face dia. Rammer having weight 2.6 kg and 4.89 kg are used. Where as for 100 mm dia mould they are of 50 mm dia. The rammer assembly is provided with a ratchet and pawl arrangement to lift it from the top of the soil layer.
