Laboratory Automatic Soil Compaction Hammer
Product Details:
The Automatic Soil Compactor replaces the hand compaction procedure as specified for dry density/moisture content relationship of soil. Both light and heavy compaction tests can be performed by this machine using either 100 mm diameter or 150 mm diameter compaction moulds. The height of drop of the 50 mm diameter crammer can be set either at 310 mm or at 450 mm as per requirement. The machine is provided with a standard crammer weighing 2.6 kg for conducting light compaction and its weight can be increased to 4.89 kg for heavy compaction test by attaching additional rod supplied along with it. While using 100 mm diameter mould the crammer carriage is locked in one position and the total area of the mould is compacted in about 25 strokes. The number of strokes i.e. 25 can be programmed, which are digitally displayed. A selector switch is provided on the control panel for selection between 100 mm diameter mould or 150 mm diameter mould. For 150 mm diameter mould the crammer carriage shifts radially by 25 mm to give about 8 blows within the diameter of 100 mm and 17 blows beyond 100 mm diameter that is between 100 mm and 150 mm. This sequence is repeated till the crammer completes 55 blows after which the machine automatically stops. Safety features like safety lever for preventing crammer falling when the door is open, total cover for moving parts, M.C.B. for overload protection are provided as standard.
