Description Description Applications The vibratory plate has been designed for the compaction of almost every type of soil, both in trenches as well as surface compaction. In addition, it is possible to vibrate paving stones an concrete blocks by using extension plates up to 86 cm (accessories). Extremely cohesive as well as frozen soils are not suitable for compaction.
Description Description of function 4.3.1 The vibration required for compaction is produced by the exciter (13) which is firmly joined to the lower mass (5). This exciter (13) is designed as a central vibrator with aligned vibrations. Such a principle permits the direction of vibration to be changed by turning the eccentric weights (15).
