Automatic Soil Compactor is designed to compact Standard / Modified and CBR specimens, it ensures an extremely uniform compaction degree, granting reliable and repeatable test results.

The compactor is easy to use, friendly menu driven, of simple and practical maintenance.

Compactor is equipped with programmable digital counter which allows machine to stop at the preset numbers of blows. The height and weight of the rammer is adjustable to suit test requirements. Quality and high accuracy mechanical components grant very long life also under intensive utilizations.

The original lift system of the rammer can be selected at 305 or 457 mm, granting a correct and constant fall height. This automatic blow pattern ensures effective and equal compaction for each layer of soil by rotating the base table, so the mould, in equal steps and travelling the rammer across the mould.

The table rotates the mould in equal steps and the number of blows per layer can be set at the beginning of the test by the digital counter. User defined blow number and in-out distribution is also available. A standard proctor / CBR switch, emergency stop and start push buttons are located beside the blow counter.

The rammer is circular faced. Rammer weight is adjustable to 2.5 kg or 4.5 kg according to reference standard. When compacting specimens in Standard Proctor moulds, the unit operates on a single radius and when compacting specimens in Modified Proctor or CBR moulds, the unit operates on inner and outer radius to obtain even compaction.

The machine is supplied with one rammer and must selected according to the desired Standard (ASTM or EN) (rammers are interchangeable).

Automatic Soil Compactor is designed to compact Standard / Modified and CBR specimens, it ensures an extremely uniform compaction degree, granting reliable and repeatable test results.

The compactor is easy to use, friendly menu driven, of simple and practical maintenance.

Compactor is equipped with programmable digital counter which allows machine to stop at the preset numbers of blows. The height and weight of the rammer is adjustable to suit test requirements. Top quality components and high accuracy mechanical workings grant very long life also under intensive utilizations.

The original lift system of the rammer can be selected at 300 mm, 305 mm, 450 mm or 457 mm, granting a correct and constant fall height. According to the standard used, rammer heads with a diameter of 50 mm or 50.8 mm can be attached to the circular rammer. (The rammer head diameters to be used must be specified at the time of order).

When compacting specimens in Standard Proctor moulds, the unit operates on a single radius and when compacting specimens in Modified Proctor or CBR moulds, the unit operates on inner and outer radius to obtain even compaction.

Mould selection, number of blows, count of the number of inner and outer drops can be selected as user defined, as well as 4 different programs defined in accordance with the standards from the digital screen mounted on the side of the device.

Noise Reduction Cabinet is available as optional and should be ordered separately.

Used for determining the relationship between the moisture content and density of compacted soils.

Made of plated steel, includes collar, mould body and base plate.

Rammers are used to compact the soil sample in the Proctor Moulds and made of plated steel.

Different models are available conforming to the relevant standards.

Used to evaluate the relationship between the moisture percentage of a soil sample and the number of blows required to close a groove made into the soil; and therefore to determine when a clay soil changes from a plastic to a liquid state.

The device is available in two models:

• Hand operated,

• Motor operated at 120 drops/min speed, ensuring better uniformity and accuracy

Comprises a removable brass cup, adjustable crank and cam mechanism, blow counter and base.

Supplied with Brass grooving tool.

Resilience Tester is used for measuring the resilience of liquid limit device bases. Resilience Tester consists of a clear acrylic plastic tube, steel ball and a small bar magnet. Resilience Tester should be ordered separately.

Mould to produce a specimen of 140 mmlong x 12,5 mm radius.

This test covers the determination of linear shrinkage of soils and indicates the plastic properties of soils with a low clay content.

Used to determine the maximum moisture content at which the soil does not shrink after drying the sample.

Supplied with 2 pieces ∅ 45 x 10 mm Moisture Content Tin, ∅ 55 x 35 mm Moisture Content Tin, Shrinkage Plate with three Metal Prongs, ∅120 mm Porcelain Dish, 150 mm Spatula, 25 ml Graduated Glass Cylinder and Carrying Case.

This equipment is used to determine the quantitative size distribution of very fine particle in soils such as clay and silt.

Two models are available.
