Semi-Automatic Compactor.
Now a days almost every soil laboratory conducts compaction and
penetration tests on soils. In both standard and heavy compaction tests
the operator has to count the number of blows of the rammer on each
layer of soil during compaction. A mechanically cum electrically
operated semi-automatic compactor is therefore devised to eliminate hand
compaction process. Which also considerably saves time with the rammers
provided two stroke lengths, available, the compactor can be used for
normal compaction / heavy compaction as well as C.B.R compaction.
Specification
:It is a motor driven mechanical compactor useful for soil compaction
into 100mm or 150mm diameter moulds. Two sets of rammers are provided,
one of 2.6 kg and arranged for 310mm drop and other 4.89kg and arranged
for 450mm drop. For compaction soil into 150mm dia moulds, 100mm face
dia rammers having weight 2.6kg and 4.89kg are used. Where as for 100mm
dia moulds they are of 50mm dia. The rammer assembly is provided with a
ratchet and pawl arrangement to lift it from the top of the soil
layer. When the rammer reaches the required height the pawl release the
rammer which falls freely on soil surface. The release mechanism is
operated by an arm moving up and down which is connected to a reduction
gear coupled to the motor through another arm. An automatic blow counter
fitted to the compactor is used to set the number of blows. The base
plate of the specimen mould is to be fitted to the rotating base plate
of the instrument which marks 1/5” revolution per stroke. The equipment
is suitable for operation on 230 Volts, 50 cycles, Single Phase, A.C.
Supply moulds are to be ordered separately.
