Plate compactors are best for gravel, sand or silt and larger areas and compact through vibration (as opposed to impact, which is used by Trench Rammers). Plate compacters do not compact as deep as Trench Rammers, but can be used on larger areas and can also be used on all soils.
Things to consider when selecting a plate compactor:
· Centrifugal force
· Vibration per minute (VPM)
· The durability of the plate
· Additional features required (e.g. water tank or transport wheels)
Generally cast ductile iron plates are better suited for compaction, while a higher VPM is better suited for asphalt and granular materials. The amplitude (stroke length) and weight are usually a better indication of performance than the centrifugal force.
