PME Plate Compactor Machine

Plate compactor is an indispensable piece of construction equipment that is used to compress different types of soil, asphalt and gravel. Plate compactor increases productivity because it provide most optimal performance. Once the machine is turned on, flat, heavy plate starts to move up and down as quick as the operator wants. PME has many plate compactor models for different construction jobs, which differ in size, power and operating mechanism.

Features

Safety and reliability
External cage to protect the plate from accidental damage. The V-belt drive is fully enclosed for better safety and trouble free use.

Easy transportation
Foldable handle for easy transportation and storage. Build in wheels for easy transportation. Open bottom plate to faciliate self cleaning.

More utilisation
Properly curved edges for easy access to corners during compaction.

Comfortable operation
Heavy duty shock buffer mounts to reduce vibration toward upper deck and handle.

Forward Plate Compactor

PME forward plate compactors are designed for industry-leading forward movement for great compaction results and less operator fatigue.

Equipped with durable and efficient Loncin engines or Honda engines, PME forward plates provide maximum power while minimizing fuel consumption. Our line of durable forward plate compactors features various models – with varying plate sizes and compaction forces.

Reversible Plate Compactor

PME reversible vibratory plate compactor provides variable forward and reverse operation, which is ideal for compacting trenches and backfilling around foundations. In addition, these machines can be used stationary for “spot” compaction. The use of reversible and high-performance/heavy-duty plate compactors is commonly seen for sub-base and deep compaction.

Hydraulic Reversible Plate Compactor

PME hydraulic system adjusts travel control lever for smooth changing of direction. Speed is adjusted through hydraulic control of the eccentric element. This gives the plate smooth motion and makes it easy to operate.

Plate compactors can be applied to different types of ground

Compaction is defined as the method of mechanically increasing the density of foundations. In construction, this is a significant part of the building process. If performed improperly, settlement of the soil could occur and result in unnecessary maintenance costs or structure failure. Almost all types of building sites and construction projects utilize mechanical compaction techniques.

Soil Compactor
Dirt Compactor
Concrete Compactor
Gravel Compactor
Stone Compactor
Sand Compactor

Improved soil stability

Plate compactors ensure thorough compaction, reducing the risk of settlement and structural failure.

Enhanced construction quality

Proper compaction results in a more uniform and stable base, leading to higher-quality construction with fewer defects.

Time and cost efficiency

Plate compactors allow for faster compaction compared to manual methods, saving time and labor costs on construction projects.

Benefits of Using Plate Compactors

How to Choose A Plate Compactor

Project requirements

Consider the size and scope of the project to determine the appropriate plate compactor size and type.

Soil type

Different soil types require different compaction methods and equipment. Choose a plate compactor suitable for the soil conditions of your project site.

Size and weight of the plate compactor

Ensure that the plate compactor is easy to maneuver and transport, especially for projects with limited access or space constraints.

Comparison with hand compaction

Plate compactors offer faster and more efficient compaction compared to manual methods, saving time and labor costs.
