Description:

• All LF compactors are factory prepared for mounting a block paving kit. If you have an older machine, without factory made holes, a drill fixture is available.
• Compaction has a profound influence on asphalt performance. Compaction transforms the asphalt mix from a loose state to a compact surface that carry heavy loads.
• Efficiency of compaction depends heavily on the internal resistance of asphalt.
• Tools must be able to compact without leaving marks and water is important to create a smooth surface.
• Silt needs proper water content for good compacting. The cohesive soils, like clay and silt, have the smallest particles of all soils.
• Silt particles are larger than in clay, but they are still small enough to require high energy for deep compacting.
• A powerful forward plate together with your experience gets the job done.
• For sand and gravel you can achieve high density compaction in either a dry or saturated state. The level of compaction depends more on grading than on moisture.
• Too much compaction of sand and gravel is like beating a concrete wall with a sledgehammer.
• It can crush the material and reduce the load bearing capacity.
