Objective:
The time and effort required to prepare specimens for compaction studies and other test methods can often be costly and time consuming. The Vertex Compactor automatically compacts soil specimens, thereby eliminating the laborious hand compaction method. The height and weight of the hammer is adjustable to suit test requirements.
Salient Features:
- With easy and simple (manual) height adjuster and digital counter
- Pre-set blow pattern ensures even compaction
- Solid state controls for reliability and ease of maintenance
- Automatic counter reset after completion of blow pattern
- An automatic blow pattern ensures optimum compaction for each layer of soil.
- The hammer itself travels across the mould and the table rotates the mould in equal steps on a base that is extremely stable.
