A plate compactor uses high-speed, vertical vibration and machine weight to flatten and compress granular soils, gravel, and asphalt.
Key Features and Mechanisms
• Vibrating Baseplate: A heavy steel bottom plate driven by an eccentric rotating rotor that generates high centrifugal compaction force.
• Movement Types:
• Single-Direction (Forward): Moves forward automatically via the eccentric force, ideal for light paving, sand, and gravel.
• Reversible: Allows movement both forward and backward without manually turning the machine around.
