GENERAL INFORMATION

Plate Compactor

The Mikasa MVC98D2 is a walk-behind plate compactor designed for the compaction of sand, clay and asphalt.This plate compactor is a powerful compacting tool capable of applying a tremendous force in consecutive high frequency vibrations 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.

Compactor Components

This plate compactor is comprised of an anti-vibration handle, vibrating case (eccentric), water tank, guard hook, rubber shock absorbers and a Yanmar diesel engine.

Vibratory Plates

The vibratory plates of the MVC98D2 produce low amplitude high frequency vibrations, designed to compact granular soils and asphalt.

The resulting vibrations cause forward motion.The engine and handle are vibration isolated from the vibrating plate.The heavier the plate, the more compaction force it generates.

Power Transfer

The Mikasa MVC98D2 Plate Compactor is equipped with an air- cooled, vertical single-cylinder, 4-stroke Yanmar L48V6 diesel engine. A centrifugal clutch is attached to the output shaft of the engine and will engage when the engine speed reaches approximately 2,300 ~ 2,600 rpm’s.

Engine shaft speed is transfered via engine pulley and V-belt to vibrator pulley. The vibrator pulley rotates an eccentric rotor shaft that is contained within the vibrator case.

The generated vibration created from the eccentric rotor is transmitted to the compacting plate. This vibration causes the compactor to move in a forward direction.

Frequency/Speed

The compactor's vibrating plate maximum frequency is 6,000 vpm (vibrations per minute).The forward and reverse travel speed of the compactor is approximately 72 ft./minute (22 meters/ minute).

Water Sprinkler System

The water sprinkler system will provide about 20 minutes of sprinkling with the water cock in the full open position and the compactor operating at full speed. It is suggested to mix a small amount of detergent or diesel fuel with water.This will allow the water to the flow much easier.

Controls

Before starting the MVC98D2 Plate Compactor, identify and understand the function of the controls and components as indicated in Figure 2.
