What is an Rammer Machine

Do you know what an rammer machine is? How to use a suitable rammer equipment for your project? In this article, we will help you know much better

A rammer machine also termed as tamper is a construction equipment used for compressing or compacting soil. Soil is compacted or compressed to make it hard and of uniform level. Compaction is required to achieve an ideal groundwork for the construction projects that need a hard and flat surface. During compaction process, soil density is increased, and air is removed. This is usually done by mechanical means. A rammer machine is one of that mechanical means, which creates a compacted surface of soil by pressing it repeatedly under its weight. A mechanical rammer is powered by a machine that is fueled by oil or petrol. Sometimes it is also known as rammer compactor’ or a ‘vibratory rammer’. Mechanical rammers, along with compacting the soil, also vibrate the individual soil particles and remove air particles. A rammer machine is maneuvered by  powered by either petrol or diesel engine. Compaction can be done at faster pace. Using a machine powered rammer machine is twice as fast as using a hand powered one. Therefore, it would also be more useful, when compacting a large area as it covers the surface quicker. Less human effort is required, therefore less man powered is required. Henan Xinsda Machinery Technology Co.,Ltd have more than 20 years of production experience. Dedicated research team and external sales team.Product quality is in a leading position in the construction machinery industry. Let our professional engineer team tell us how to operate rammer machine.

How to operate rammer machine.

1. Check before work

Check the engine oil

Engine oil: remove the oil dipstick and clean it; insert the dipstick into the oil tank to check the oil level. If the oil lever comes near to the lower limit mark, refill the oil tank up to the upper limit mark.

Capacity is 0.4L.

Impact system lubricating oil: when replace the impact system oil, drain the oil first and fill the oil to the upper location of the oil window.

Oil recommended: generally SAE10W-30isrecommended, as it is suitable to the common environment temperature. If choose other ones, please refer to the viscosity that match the local temperature.

Tips : it will short the work life if use the oil lack of detersive or the oil for two-stroke engine.

Check the air cleaner:check whether the filter is blocked and sponge is broken; dirty filter will block the air cleaner, which will weaken the engine even make the engine fail to start.

Make sure all the screws are tightened.

Check the fuel tank: the fuel must be above 90# lead-free gasoline. The recommended fuel is above 93# lead-free gasoline. Do not get dust, water or other foreign matter into the fuel tank, do not mix the fuel with engine oil.

2. Operate

The way to start the engine:

Turn on the engine switch.

Open the fuel valve.

Rammer Machine

Close the choke lever, which can not be closed if the machine is overheated or the weather is hot.

Set Accelerator Handle to the idle speed position.

Slowly pull the handle until to feel hard, then pull the line to start the engine quickly.

Tips

  • first pull the line slowly, when you feel the resistance, pull quickly, which is to protect the
  • Do not let the handle to crush the engine when loose the handle. Replace the handle within the resilience force of the engine

Use the rammer machine

Open the choke lever after starting the engine. It needs 5 minutes to warm up.

Turn the handle and put the accelerator handle to work position.

Guide the rammer machine by handrail to move automatically. The rammer will show the best effect if

Tips

  • When the engine is started and warmed up, do not turn the handle slowly even keep the handle in the middle position, or the rammer will jump irregularly, which will wear and tear the clutch and damage the engine.
  • The rammer machine is easily turned over when impact the rugged ground. Pay attention to avoid making wrist or other parts
  • Turn off the engine before leaving the
  • Do not start and use the rammer in the solid
  • Operator must catch the handle with run

keep it in balance. Push the handrail to make the rammer unstable, which will damage the engine.

3. Power off

Turn off the engine switch directly in emergency situation.

In normal condition, do the follow steps to stop the machine:

Turn the handle, pull the accelerator handle back to stop position to make the rammer machine stop .

Turn off the engine switch.

Close the fuel valve.

Tips: Do not stop the engine when the rammer machine is in high speed, or it will engine oil deteriorate or parts are in jam as the temperate of engine rises suddenly.
