Earth Compactor

A compactor machine is a device that applies downward pressure on dirt, soil or gravel to compress the ground and fill in air pockets. After using a soil compactor, the floor can sustain heavier weight on an even surface, allowing construction teams to roll out heavier machines with fewer safety hazards.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.
