INTRODUCING THE RMC-8: RELIANCE ROUNDFOOT AUTOMATIC SOIL COMPACTOR AUTOMATION The RMC-8 is fully automatic which makes for ease and simplicity of operation, eliminating extensive operation training. UNIFORM COMPACTION The sprocket drive used to rotate the mould in the compactor has been modified in such a way that the mould follows a pattern to give the exact hammer fall configuration described in the SANS method.
To change the flange around loosen the wing nuts holding the flange by the flange handle. Rotate the flange through 180 degree and replace the flange on the studs. After find adjustment the RMC-8 is ready for the selected test.
ADJUSTING THE DROP OF THE HAMMER SIDE TO SIDE If the Compaction shoe makes contact on one of the sides of the CBR Mould Body adjustment might be necessary. The CBR Mould Body should first be checked to ensure that it is not deformed or oval. Loosen the Securing Bolt.
ADJUSTING THE DROP HEIGHT OF THE HAMMER Make a reference measure for your drop Height. P.S. – MAKE IT WITH SOMETHING RIGID THAT WILL FIT INTO THE GUIDE. From the top of the hammer guide make a line on the hammer using chalk of a marker (Point A). Using your reference measure from Point A and make a second mark at Point B.
