Automatic Mechanical Soil Compactor
Product Code : LSK-SM-10660
Automatic Mechanical Soil Compactor (SKU LSK-SM-10660) is an automatic compaction machine that drops a rammer onto soil in a mould, compacting samples quickly and giving a uniform degree of compaction from layer to layer. Civil engineering students, diploma trainees and soil testing technicians use it to prepare Proctor, CBR and consolidation specimens. Science Lab Supplies ships this automatic Proctor compactor from Ambala, India to engineering colleges, polytechnics, TVET institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The compactor uses a standard 51 mm rammer with two weight and drop combinations, 2.5 kg over 305 mm and 4.5 kg over 457 mm. It takes 102 mm and 152 mm ID moulds, counts blows automatically and shuts off at a preset number.

Applications and Experiments for the Automatic Soil Compactor
The compactor is used wherever soil must be compacted with a controlled, repeatable effort: the Proctor moisture–density test, CBR specimen preparation and consolidation samples. It suits soil mechanics practicals in B.Tech and diploma civil engineering, TVET road construction modules and research labs that need uniform specimens.
- B.Tech / B.E. civil engineering: light and heavy Proctor compaction to find optimum moisture content and maximum dry density.
- Diploma (polytechnic) civil engineering: compaction practicals where many samples must be prepared in one lab session.
- TVET road construction and materials testing modules: compacting specimens in 152 mm moulds for CBR testing.
Standard Scope of Supply
The compactor is supplied as a single machine with its rammer arrangement and automatic blow counter, as described above. The listing does not say which moulds or rammer weights are packed as standard, so the quotation names every item included, and moulds of either diameter can be added.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for a quotation for one compactor or a full soil mechanics lab quantity; each quotation sets out the packing, delivery time and price for that order. Moulds, a bench oven or CBR equipment can go on the same quotation, so a single TVET lab equipment supplier covers the bench.
As a registered exporter holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Enquire through the contact page or enquiry cart; tender buyers can also use the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does an automatic compactor do that a hand rammer does not?
It lifts and drops the rammer by itself, counts each blow and stops at the preset number, so every layer gets the same compactive effort and results vary less between students.
Which compaction tests can it be set up for?
The listed 2.5 kg/305 mm and 4.5 kg/457 mm weight and drop combinations, used with 102 mm or 152 mm ID moulds, cover light and heavy compaction for Proctor and CBR specimens.
Who supplies the Automatic Mechanical Soil Compactor?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India to engineering colleges, polytechnics, training institutes and contractors, and each quotation states the exact configuration offered.
Can the compactor be quoted against a tender specification?
Yes. Send the tender specification, quantity and delivery location through the contact page for an item-wise quotation covering the rammer, moulds and blow counter.
Related Soil Compaction and Density Equipment
Compaction results need moisture and density data, so these four Soil Mechanics items are often ordered with the compactor: they dry moisture samples, test compacted CBR specimens and check field density against the laboratory maximum dry density, completing a basic compaction and bearing-strength bench.
- Motorised CBR Machine — tests specimens compacted in 152 mm moulds.
- Laboratory Bench Oven — dries moisture samples from the Proctor test.
- Sand Replacement Equipment — field dry density for comparison with lab results.
- Core Cutter — field density sampling in fine-grained soils.
