About Automatic Soil Compactor
Purpose:
The time and effort required to prepare specimens for compaction studies and other test methods can often be costly and time consuming. The EIE 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 electric 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 mold and the table rotates the mold in equal steps on a base that is extremely stable.
- The number of blows per layer can be set at the beginning of the test by means of the simple digital counter system.

Versatile Cycle Selector for Multiple StandardsChoose from 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 blows per cycle to meet a wide range of compaction test requirements, making it adaptable for various soil analysis protocols. The preset blow counter and digital display ensure consistent operation and accurate results, making test setup straightforward for both heavy and light compaction procedures.
Sturdy Construction with Enhanced SafetyCrafted with a powder-coated mild steel chamber and a heavy duty stainless steel tray, the compactor stands up to rigorous lab use. Integrated safety features like an emergency stop switch and overload protection offer secure operation throughout testing, while the geared motor drive ensures steady and controlled performance.
User-Friendly Design and OperationThe compactor features an intuitive push button panel and floor-mounted setup for ease of use. Caster wheels provide convenient mobility within the lab, and automatic controls streamline both testing and routine maintenance. The 230 V AC, single-phase power supply makes integration into most laboratory settings effortless.
FAQs of Automatic Soil Compactor:
Q: How do I select the number of blows per cycle on the Automatic Soil Compactor?
A: The cycle selector allows you to set the desired number of hammer blowschoose from 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30using the intuitive push button panel. The digital display confirms your selection, and the machine automatically carries out the preset number of blows per cycle.
Q: What types of soil compaction tests can this equipment perform?
A: This automatic compactor is suitable for light, heavy, and modified compaction tests as per standard protocols, making it versatile for most geotechnical laboratory requirements. It accommodates a specimen size of 100 mm diameter by 127.3 mm height.
Q: When should the overload protection and emergency stop features be used?
A: The overload protection automatically halts the device if an excessive load is detected, safeguarding the internal components. The emergency stop switch should be pressed whenever an unexpected issue or safety hazard arises during operation, ensuring immediate shutdown.
Q: Where can the Automatic Soil Compactor be installed?
A: Designed for laboratory use, it can be floor-mounted in research institutions, civil engineering labs, or testing service centers. Its caster wheels offer mobility, allowing easy repositioning within the workspace as needed.
Q: What is the process for preparing a specimen using this soil compactor?
A: Place the soil specimen in the heavy-duty stainless steel tray, set the desired blow count, and select the rammer weight (4.5 kg or 2.6 kg) according to your test protocol. The compactor precisely delivers blows at a rate of 30 per minute until the cycle completes, then notifies you for sample removal.
Q: How accurate and reliable are the test results from this equipment?
A: The machine delivers high accuracy with 1 blow and offers 1 blow resolution. Its automated operation, preset blow counter, and instant digital response ensure test repeatability and reliable, standard-compliant results every cycle.
Q: What are the main benefits of using an automatic compactor over manual methods?
A: Automatic operation significantly reduces the time and labor typically needed for sample compaction, enhances repeatability, and minimizes operator error. Electronic controls, preset cycles, and safety mechanisms further improve efficiency and user safety.
