Soil compaction and breaking of airport tarmacs, airport
taxi-ways, roads, highways, and other flat work may be accomplished
in record time. Pavement breaking applications include: Pre-Breaking
for Removal or Recycling; Rubblization; Rebar Debonding and "Crack
and Seat".
Compaction and breaking are performed by the Impactor
2000’s 19,000 lb., cam shaped drum. The induced rolling of the
drum, resulting from the forward movement of the pulling unit, develops
all energy required for compaction or breaking. At its optimum operating
speed of 7 mph, the drum delivers 2 blows per second to the underlying
surface. For compaction, the Impactor 2000 produces an estimated 22,000
ft. lbs. of energy with each blow, and during breaking delivers 30,000
psi of dynamic force.
Compaction Editorial
Pavement
Imagine………
2-miles
of 2-lane Interstate Highway, made of 10-inch thick concrete. The Impactor
2000 is capable of reducing this to 18-inch pieces in less than eight
man-hours. With an additional two man-hours, even greater reduction
will be achieved. The pavements base and sub-base remains relatively
undisturbed, while the pavement is reduced to its desired size. The
surface left provides an excellent structure for rubber tired equipment
to operate on, and tire damage is kept to a minimum.
Compaction
The Impactor 2000 may compact up to 48-inches of fill
at once, giving it the capability to yield over six times the volume
of compaction achieved through conventional means. While the Impactor
2000 produces higher densities with less effort, it helps eliminate
failed tests and reworking. Quite often an Impactor 2000 may achieve
densities five to six points higher than other compactors, making it
the ideal compactor for high-spec projects. The V-Grader, a convertible
blade/tooth drag, may be hydraulically lowered to provide smoothing
or aeration of the surface. Through the use of the V-Grader, superior
bonding of additional lifts may be accomplished. Hydraulic cylinders
raise the drum for non-operating mobility, and trailering..
Whether using the Impactor 2000 or the 3000 for pavement
breaking or soil compaction, the expenses saved through the high production
gained, increase profits for its owner. Take a hard look at either of
the Impactors today.
