S-333 Automated Soil Compactor (Rammer)

Uniform, consistent and safe compaction. Quality results.

Application:

	Mechanical compaction of soil and soil-cement mixtures in the laboratory.
	Proctor, CBR and LBR samples
	Applicable Standards:
		ASTM: D 558, D 559, D 560, D 698, D 1557 AASHTO T-99, T-134, T-135, T-136, T-180

Benefits:

	Soil layers are uniformly compacted, every time.
	Conformity to ASTM and AASHTO standards for hammer drop height is assured because the hammer lift compensates for changing sample height.
	Display shows number of layers and blow counts per layer to prevent common causes of operator errors. Blows can be pre-set in memory and automatically stop the machine.
	Drop heights and weights can be changed easily to accommodate alternate test requirements. 12 inch (std.) or 18 inch. Order separately.
	Changing hammer drop height is simple and very quick — just insert a couple of spacers and you’re ready.
	Rotating base accepts molds from a variety of manufacturers.
	Works with standard, CBR and LBR molds.
	Safety operation — fully enclosed drive mechanism, locking mechanism to prevent the hammer from falling when the machine if OFF, and emergency shut-off button.
