Automatic Soil Compactor
Ref Standard IS: 2720 (Part 7 & 8), BS: 1377-4, ASTM: D698 & D1557
Invariably in every soil laboratory, compaction and penetration tests on soils are carried out regularly. The electrically operated mechanical compaction process eliminates the tedious hand compaction process and results in a considerable saving of time. Two rammers with two different stroke lengths are provided. This makes the apparatus suitable to carry out all the normal compaction operations required in soil testing laboratories including the CBR tests.
This is a new design motor driven mechanical compactor, useful for soil compaction moulds as per IS, BS & ASTM. The rammer travels across the mould and the table rotates the mould in equal steps on a stable base. The number of blows per layer can be set at the beginning of the test.
Rammer – Circular faced adjustable weight as per IS, BS & ASTM
Drop – Adjustable as per IS, BS & ASTM
Supplied with mild steel mould
The equipment is suitable for operation on 220 V, 50 Hz, Single Phase,
AC supply
