UK-10M Soil Compactor

A rule of thumb is that a compactor will compact 1 inch of material for every 1,000 pounds of compaction force it exerts. You should also consider the machine's vibration frequency, measured in vibrations per minute. Higher vibration frequency (around 5,700 vpm) is good for compounding thin layers of materialIn construction, there are three main types of compactor: the plate, the rammer, and the road roller. The roller type compactors are used for compacting crushed rock as the base layer underneath concrete or stone foundations or slabs.
