5 Ton Earth Compactor With 5HP Electric Motor And DOL Starter

A soil compactor is a machine or mechanism used to reduce the size of material such as waste material or biomass through compaction. For the improvement of soil properties, e.g., density, water content or gradation, compaction is necessary in the construction of embankment, road, sub-grades, earth dams,What is compactionThere are three types of compactor equipment: rammers, plates and rollers. Each tool covers a different amount of surface area and applies varying force. In general, rammers and plates are smaller and exert less pressure Soil compaction occurs when soil particles are pressed together, reducing pore space between them (Figure 1). Heavily compacted soils contain few large pores, less total pore volume and, consequently, a greater density. A compacted soil has a reduced rate of both water infiltration and drainage.
