Ammann Introduces New Add-On Compactors With Higher Torque

Dubai (PlantAndEquipment.com) -  Ammann has released two new add-on compactors, the APA 90/110 and APA 110/110, designed to deliver greater torque in a more compact build. The attachments use worm gearboxes instead of hydraulic rotators, improving compatibility with tilt rotators and boosting rotational power.

Available in widths of 800 mm, 940 mm, and 1100 mm, the compactors can be quickly connected using standard adapters and a fast-coupling system. Built for 12- to 40-tonne excavators, they can compact layers up to one meter thick, providing time savings over traditional vibratory plates.

Applications range from pipeline and cable construction to slopes, trenches, dumpsites, and railway work. 

The units offer two compaction modes, high or low amplitude, depending on material thickness, and can be configured with a worm gearbox or a fixed system without rotation.
