This meant the compactors could not be rotated freely. Engcon has solved this problem with the newly developed series of low-flow compactors.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Engcon_Compactor-b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2543\" src=\"http:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Engcon_Compactor-b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Engcon_Compactor-b.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Engcon_Compactor-b-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We know that the compactor\/excavator combination is ideal, as it means a major improvement in the work environment for ground workers, who must otherwise walk and control compactors down in the excavation, whose nature can vary a great deal,&#8221; says Johan Johansson, designer and project manager for Engcon&#8217;s new compactor series.<\/p>\n<p>Engcon is introducing three models, the PC3500, PC6000 and PC9500, where PC stands for Plate Compactor and the numerals indicate the compaction force in kg for each of the compactors.<br \/>\n&#8220;Another major advantage when using compactors on excavators is the marked improvement in safety for ground workers. For example, when compacting in deep excavations there is a great risk that the vibrations from the compactor will cause a collapse, burying people under volumes of heavy soil,&#8221; declares Johan Johansson.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the improved working environment and reduced risk of personal injury, Engcon&#8217;s compactors can be used on inclines where conventional soil compaction with rollers or hand-operated compactors is not possible. This includes everything from ordinary road embankments to compaction around bridge supports, erosion protection along watercourses and more.<\/p>\n<p>The new PC3500 compactor series can be seen in action at Engcon&#8217;s stand (No FM.708\/3) at the Bauma 2019 exhibition in Munich, 8-14 April, 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can Be Powered Via Tiltrotator \u2013 Result is Improved Efficiency and Greater Safety Engcon has announced that it will launch a series of entirely new low-flow compactors that can be powered by tiltrotators in 2019.
