How to use a plate compactor on gravel?
There are certain steps for the compaction of gravel pavement using a plate compactor. First, in order to take full account of the smoothness of the road surface, we will make sure that the road surface to be compacted is evenly paved with gravel. Then, the plate compactor is activated for the first compaction, which is done by roughly compacting the gravel to a basic flatness. After the compaction is finished, the second compaction can be carried out. The second compaction can adjust the vibration strength of the plate compactor. The purpose is to make the compacting degree of the road surface originally flattened by the basic compaction reach the required standard.
