Swepac

When compacting/packing sand, gravel, stone dust and asphalt, it is important to choose the right size of compactor. Even the number of passes of the material to be compacted makes a big difference to the end result. The right weight combined with the right number of passes gives the best result. The correct weight of the machine and the correct number of compaction passes are specified in the country's construction standards. Generally speaking, coarse materials such as blasted stone require a larger machine such as a roller, while finer materials such as sand and gravel generally require a smaller machine such as a vibratory plate.
The base plates on these machines are also designed to prevent the formation of ruts during asphalt work.
