AUTOMATIC ROUNDFOOT COMPACTOR

Automatic roundfoot compactors are used to compact soil samples for laboratory testing, ensuring consistent and accurate results for various soil density tests. They automate the compaction process, providing repeatable and reliable compaction blows, and can be used for standard and modified Proctor tests, as well as CBR (California Bearing Ratio) tests. 

Here’s a more detailed overview:
  • Purpose:
    To prepare soil samples for density tests in a controlled and standardized manner. 

  • How it works:
    The compactor features a rotating table that holds the soil sample in a mold. A rammer (or hammer) drops onto the soil, and the table rotates to ensure even compaction. The number of blows and drop height can be adjusted according to the specific test standard (e.g., ASTM, AASHTO, BS). 

  • Benefits:
    • Automated and repeatable: Eliminates the manual labor and variability associated with hand compaction. 
    • Accurate compaction: Ensures consistent compaction, leading to reliable test results. 
    • Efficiency: Reduces test time and labor requirements. 
    • Cost-effective: Saves money compared to using manual compaction methods. 
  • Applications:
    Used in laboratories for geotechnical testing, quality control in construction, and research on soil properties. 

 

 

The RMC-8 is fully automatic which makes for ease and simplicity of operation, eliminating extensive operation training.

The compaction speed is seventy three (73) blows per minute which is recorded on the blow counter, which can be set. Once the test is complete, the Compactor will automatically switches off.

The sprocket drive used to rotate the mould in the compactor has been modified in such a way that the mould follows a pattern to give the exact hammer fall configuration.

The RMC-8 is supported by after sales service and a full range of parts and accessories.
