Vibratory plate compactors Operation manual

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Vibratory plates are designed for compaction of all types of soils, including soil related sections for
compaction of trenches and areas - the machine without sprinkling. Machines are also designed for
compacting asphalt surfaces – the machine with sprinkling. When used with a plastic backing plate
vibration can also be used for ground paving.
These vibratory plates have optimized centrifugal force and compaction area and thus reach optimal
compaction effect. The vibratory effect is ensured by non-directed eccentric which creates circular
vibration. The main working part - the base plate - is a structure made of welded steel. The vibrator is
bolted or welded to the base plate. The engine plate is mounted to the base plate through the rubber
mounts. The vibratory plate is driven by a four-stroke single-cylinder air cooled engine. The engine is
connected with the vibrator by a drive belt, with a centrifugal clutch which disengages the drive at idle
speed.
The operator controls the machine using its handle.
Special equipment to transport the chassis vibration plates, plastic mat compaction paving and operating
hours counter.

2.1. Basic technical data:

Vibration plates are characterized by one-way design with a comfortable cushioned handle and folding
ROPS, which protects the engine from damage and ease of handling.
