GENERAL INFORMATION

Definition of Tamping Rammer

The Mikasa MT55F tamping rammer is a powerful compacting tool capable of applying a tremendous force in consecutive impacts to a soil surface. Its applications include soil compacting for road, embankments and reservoirs as well as backfilling for gas pipelines, water pipelines and cable installation work.

The impact force of the MT55F levels and uniformly compacts voids between soil particles to increase dry density.

Circular motion is converted to create impact force. The MT55F tamping rammer develops a powerful compacting force at the foot of the rammer. To maintain optimum performance, proper operation and service are essential.

Construction of Tamping Rammer

The Mikasa MT55F is equipped with an air cooled, two cycle gasoline engine. Transmission of the power takes place by increasing the engine speed to engage the centrifugal clutch.

Rammer Gearbox and Spring Cylinder

The Mikasa MT55F uses an oil bath lubrication system. Always check the oil level through the oil level sight glass at the rear of the tamper foot.

Controls

Before starting the MT55F Tamping Rammer identify and understand the function of the controls, see Figure 1 on page 13.
