Construction

The vibratory plate consists of the following main sub-

assemblies:

– Base plate
– Engine chassis
– Operator handle
– Protective roll bar / lifting frame.

Base Plate:

Mounted onto the base plate is the exciter mechanism, which produces the vibrational force.

Engine Chassis:

The engine chassis comprises a supporting frame and a diesel engine. The chassis is suspended above the base plate by the means of rubber buffers to damp vibrations. The engine is connected to the exciter mechanism on the base plate by a centrifugal clutch and a V belt. The operator handle is attached to the engine plate by rubber buffers.

The following extras are available:

– Paving stone protection mat
– Transport Wheel.

Mode of Operation

The exciter mechanism is driven by the engine via a centrifugal clutch and a V belt drive. Putting the speed direction control into forward or reverse brings two exciter shafts into relationship, causing a change in direction. The generated vibration compacts the material.

Note: If the speed/direction control is set in the centre position, the machine operates on the sport (stationary compaction).

Intended Use

The machine is intended solely for the compaction of beds of earth or bituminous construction materials, and for shaking paving into place.

Area of Application

Uses in practice:

– Filling up trenches
– Road construction
– Repair work.

Material which can be compacted:

– Sand, gravel and mixture thereof
