Yes, plate compactor can be used on pavers.
Vibratory plate is a simple tool for compacting pavement, which has a wide range of applications. We can use it for the maintenance of home garden pavement, park road maintenance, sidewalk maintenance, and so on. On these pavers, it is necessary to use a paver plate compactor for compaction, otherwise, pedestrians or vehicles will be in danger. Paver plate compactors can quickly compact high-efficiency road surfaces and only require one person to operate.
How to protect pavers from paver plate compactor
Usually, when using a paver plate compactor to compact pavers, it is necessary to install a rubber or plastic sleeve on the plate at the bottom to prevent potential damage to the pavers when the iron bottom plate of the vibratory plate compactor collides with the pavers. The principle of plate compactor is not complicated. The engine actually drives the compaction process to do work on the compaction plate. Through the direction of vibration, the air in the pavement soil is gradually discharged, thereby improving the compactness of pavers on the pavement.
How to compact pavers with a paver plate compactor
Once we know how a paver plate compactor works, we can use it for compaction. Of course, the vibratory plate must be operated correctly so that the road surface can be compressed to the desired effect. Before use, we should first check the status of each part of the paver plate compactor to ensure that the paver plate compactor is functioning normally, then start the paver plate compactor, determine the direction and speed of the paver plate compactor, and then start formally compacting the road surface. When compacting the road surface, compaction should be carried out in an orderly manner according to the structure of the road surface, so as to ensure that one road surface reaches the compaction effect before moving to the next area, so that the work can be completed.
At the same time, there are many precautions in the process of use, so that our pavement will not be damaged. Since the plate tamps themselves have a certain weight, we need to control the strength during use.
1. First of all, check whether the paver plate compactor is complete and whether the bolts are fastened before use.
2. When using a paver plate compactor, the operator can control the engine speed through the throttle cable, thereby controlling the vibration frequency to avoid damage to the road surface.
3. If the road surface has depressions, it should be paved with asphalt and gravel first, then compacted with a paver plate compactor.
4. Paver plate compactors must be operated by professionals to ensure the safety of the road surface.
5. When operating the paver plate compactor, control the running speed to avoid damage to the road surface caused by running too fast.
6. After the operation is completed, the gravel on the road surface should be cleaned up in time to avoid damage to the road surface.
