Plate Compactor
The Mikasa MVH306GH is a walk behind, reversible plate
compactor designed for the compaction of sand, clay and
asphalt. This plate compactor is a powerful compacting tool
capable of applying a tremendous force in consecutive high
frequency vibrations 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.
Vibratory Plates
The vibratory plates of the MVH306GH produce low amplitude
high frequency vibrations, designed to compact granular soils.
The resulting vibrations cause forward motion. The engine and
handle are vibration isolated from the vibrating plate. The heavier
the plate, the more compaction force it generates.
Reversible Vibratory Plates
Reversible vibratory plates have two eccentric weights that allow
a smooth transition for forward and reverse travel, plus increased
compaction force as the result of dual weights.
Due to their weight and force, reversible plates are ideal for
semi-cohesive soils.
Frequency/Speed
The compactor's vibrating plate maximum frequency is 4400
vpm (vibrations per minute). The forward and reverse travel speed
of the compactor is approximately 75 ft./minute (23 meters/
minute).
Engine
The Mikasa MVH306GH Plate Compactor is equipped with a
GX270K1-SMX2 (recoil start) gasoline engine.
Controls
Before starting the MVH306GH Plate Compactor, identify and
understand the function of the controls and components as
indicated in Figure 4.
