GENERAL INFORMATION

DEFINITION OF PLATE COMPACTOR

The Mikasa MVH508DZ is a reversible plate compactor designed for efficient compaction of sand, gravel and cohesive soils. 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.

VIBRATORY PLATES

The vibratory plates 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.

FREQUENCY/SPEED

The compactor's vibrating plate produces a vibration frequency of 4,150 VPM (vibrations per minute). The travel speed of the compactor is approximately

82ft/minute (25 meters/minute).

ENGINE

This plate compactor are equipped with a Hatz 1D81S air cooled, 4-cycle diesel engine. The engine drives an eccentric weight at a high speed to develop a compaction force.

CONTROLS

Before starting the plate compactor identify and understand the function of all the controls and components.
