general nformation
Plate Compactor
The Mikasa MVH406DSZ/DSCPAS is a walk behind, reversible 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.
Vibratory Plates
The vibratory plates of this plate compactor produce low amplitude high frequency vibrations, designed to compact granular soils.
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.
Reversible Vibratory Plates
Reversible vibratory plates have two eccentric weights that allow a smooth transition for forward and reverse travel, plus increased compaction force as the result of dual weights.
Due to their weight and force, reversible plates are ideal for
Frequency/Speed
The compactor's vibrating plate maximum frequency is 4600 vpm (vibrations per minute).The forward and reverse travel speed of the compactor is approximately 75 ft./minute (23 meters/minute).
Engine
This plate compactor is equipped with a ROBIN 1B40, 10 HP,
Controls
Before starting this plate compactor, identify and understand the function of the controls and all components.
