Especially, for the convenience of performing work on compaction and shrinkage of soil in areas where it is impossible to perform this work with a roller, they invented a light, mobile and inexpensive road-building device - a vibrating plate.
Field of use of the vibrating plate:
- when compacting the base for asphalt pavement (soil, crushed stone, sand);
- when laying the asphalt itself during construction, repairing road surfaces, sidewalks, parking lots, alleys);
- when compacting soil inside pits, trenches and other tasks.
The main characteristic differences of vibrating plates
When choosing a vibratory plate, you need to know that they are direct (up to 125 kg) and reverse (more than 125 kg). Reversible ones are used in the preparation of the base for laying asphalt, tiles, in pouring concrete floors.
At the heart of each vibrating plate is a platform made of cast iron or steel sheet, on which an engine is attached by means of shock-absorbing pads. There are engines - diesel, gasoline, electric. Through the centrifugal clutch, by means of a belt drive, the generated torque is transmitted from the engine shaft to the vibration unit, which transmits the created vibration to the platform base.
Resolved - buy a vibratory plate .
Before making such a decision, you need to define - goals and opportunities. It is advisable to thoroughly study the market for proposals, compare the characteristics, prices, guarantees that are provided by the manufacturer and the seller. How to care for a vibrating plate, how to carry out maintenance, because the quality of the work performed depends on the correct use and the service life of this construction equipment increases.
