GENERAL INFORMATION

Definition of Tamping Rammer

The Mikasa MT-85HS 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 backfilling for gas pipelines, water pipelines and cable installation work.

The impact force of the MT-85HS levels and uniformly compacts voids between soil particles to increase dry density.

Circular motion is converted to create impact force. The MT- 85HS 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 MT-85HS is equipped with an Robin air cooled, oil- injected 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
