MVC-90H PLATE COMPACTOR — GENERAL INFORMATION

Definition of Plate Compactor

The Mikasa MVC-90H is a walk behind, plate compactor designed for the compaction of sand, mixed soils 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 compacting for road, embankments and reservoirs as well as backfilling for gas pipelines, water pipelines and cable installation work.

The MVC-90H has a heavy-duty steel base plate with closed design. It is ribbed for extra strength. The tubular steel roll bar cage protects engine components and provides a lifting point.

The MVC-90H also has a reversible, shock-mounted handle.

Vibratory Plate

The vibratory plate of the compactor 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 double-V belt drive assures less downtine and superior drive characteristics. Unit can still operate if one belt breaks.

WaterTank

The compactor has a built-in water tank which helps provent damage and adds to long life. Brass water valve eliminates rust and corrosion problems.

Frequency/Speed

The compactor's vibrating plate has a frequency range between 5,800 vpm (vibrations per minute). The forward and reverse travel speed of the compactor is approximately 82 ft./minute (25 meters/minute).

Engine

The Mikasa MVC-90H Plate Compactor is equipped with a Honda GX160K1QMX2/GX160U1QMX2 air cooled, 4-cycle gasoline engine. The engine drives an eccentric weight at a high speed to develop a compaction force.

Controls

Before starting the MVC-90H Plate Compactor identify and understand the function of the controls and components.
