Plate Compactor

What is a vibratory plate compactor?

Vibratory plate compactor is a construction tool, mainly suitable for compacting materials with low adhesion and friction between particles, such as river sand, gravel and asphalt. The main working parameters of the vibrating plate compactor are: ​​The working plate size, the engine type, the travel speed, the centrifugal force and the exciting frequency. The centrifugal force is mainly used to maintain the forced vibration of the compacted material. And the exciting frequency affects the compaction efficiency and compaction degree, that is, under the same exciting force, the higher the exciting frequency, the higher the compaction efficiency and compactness.

The vibratory plate compactor must maintain a certain jump height when it is working, generally between 0.4-0.8mm. When the vibrating plate compactor reaches the same centrifugal force, the higher working frequency of the machine, the smaller vibration mass required and the lighter weight of the whole machine will be. However, because most plate compactors use gasoline engines as their power source, and the vibration that gasoline engines can withstand is limited. Therefore, higher operating frequencies have higher requirements for vibration resistance and higher technical requirements.

How to use our vibratory plate compator safely?

During the use of our vibrating plate compactor construction tool safely, we must master the correct operating methods to help us better maintain the stability of the plate compactor and prevent damage to the machine.

1. We must use special supporting tools to cooperate with the construction work of the plate compactor.
2. Special methods should be used to improve the production efficiency of the vibrating plate compactor. In order to make full use of the vibrating plate compactor efficiently, appropriate adjustments should be made and the pressure should not be too high or too low.
3. Avoid long-term continuous work. After working for a certain period of time, we should prohibit continuous work on the same hit point for more than 30 seconds.
4. Pay attention to the surrounding construction environment. We should change the working method in time when encountering bad weather. If there is water on the road, we should prohibit working in the water.
5. In case of inflexible vibrating plate compactor, it should be checked in time to avoid brutal violence. It is forbidden to use the operation method of falling vibratory plate compactor.

How to classify vibratory plate compactor engines?

There are several classification methods in the vibratory plate compactor engine.

1. According to fuel classification

• Diesel engine: Use diesel oil.
• Gasoline engine: Use gasoline as fuel.
• Natural gas engine: Use natural gas as fuel.

2. Classification according to the number of trips

• 2-stroke engine: The piston moves 2 strokes or the crankshaft rotates once to complete a cycle.
• 4-stroke engine: The piston moves 4 strokes or the crankshaft rotates 2 times to complete a cycle.

3. Classified by ignition

• Compression-ignition engine: An internal combustion engine that does not rely on spark ignition, but relies on the high temperature and high pressure of the cylinder charge at the end of compression to cause spontaneous combustion of the mixture, such as a diesel engine.
• Ignition engine: It can also be called spark ignition engine. It is an internal combustion engine that relies on electric spark to ignite the mixture. Both gasoline engines and kerosene engines are ignition engines.

4. Classified by cooling method

• Water-cooled engine: Use water as the cooling medium, that is coolant, which is delivered by a water pump and flows through the engine and water radiator.
• Air-cooled engine: Use air as the cooling medium. It has a simple structure and light weight. Easy to maintain and use, strong adaptability to climate change, quick start, no need for radiator.

5. Classified by cylinder arrangement

• In-line engine: The center lines of all cylinders are on the same vertical plane.
• In-line horizontal engine: The center lines of all cylinders are on the same horizontal plane.

All vibratory plate compactors, power trowels, tamping rammers, road cutting machines provided on Tool.com online store adopt air-cooled, 4-stroke, single cylinder gasoline engines from different brands.
