How to choose plate compactor

Equipment is a key element in paving and pavement maintenance. One key piece of equipment for almost all jobs is a plate compactor. The best example for how you might use a plate compactorwould be to create a smooth surface as the basis for a parking spot or carport. They are also useful in confined areas where a larger roller may not be able reach. When it comes to selecting the rightplate compactor, contractors have a few options to consider.

There are three main categories of plate compactor: a single-plate compactor, a reversible plate compactor, and a high performance/heavy-duty plate compactor. Which one a contractor chooses depends on the size and type of job he or she is doing.

How plate compactor Work?

Kinetic energy and centrifugal force create pressure on the surface, compacting the material underneath it. Although a plate compactor might look small at first glance, it can create centrifugal forces of around 10 kN. Larger machines can even reach around 130 kN. Generally, compactor plates weigh between 90 and 2,500 pounds. Some models have a rotary piston, combustion, hydraulic, or electric motor.

How To Choose plate compactor Work?

JIEHE Plate compactor includes two types of model for a single-plate compactor.Single-plate compactors go in a forward direction only, and are probably the most popular choice for smaller asphalt jobs. Reversible plates can go in both forward and reverse, and some also operate in a hover mode,  Reversible and high performance/heavy-duty plate compactors are often used for sub base or deeper depth compaction.
