Definition of Tamping Rammer
The Mikasa MT55-F tamping rammer is a powerful
compacting tool capable of applying a tremendous force in
consecutive impacts to a soil surface. Its applications include
soil compacting for road, embankments and reservoirs as
well as backfilling for gas pipelines, water pipelines and cable
installation work.
The impact force of the MT55-F levels and uniformly
compacts voids between soil particles to increase dry density.
Circular motion is converted to create impact force. The
MT55-F tamping rammer develops a powerful compacting
force at the foot of the rammer. To maintain optimum
performance, proper operation and service are essential.
Construction of Tamping Rammer
The Mikasa MT55-F is equipped with an air cooled, two cycle
gasoline engine. Transmission of the power takes place by
increasing the engine speed to engage the centrifugal clutch.
Rammer Gearbox and Spring Cylinder
The Mikasa MT55-F uses an oil bath lubrication system.
Always check the oil level through the oil level sight glass at
the rear of the tamper foot.
