Dynapac now has a productive tamping compactor in its line-up
161 Atlas Copco Construction Equipment’s 206 Dynapac division is introducing the CT3000 tamping compactor. Accorrding to the firm this uit offers rapid and efficient compaction for delivering specified densities on cohesive and semi-cohesive soils. With an operating weight of 22.5tonnes and an average production capacity of 820.7m3/hour, the Dynapac CT3000 is said to suit duties on projects such as highways, dams and airport runways where large-volume earthwork is required.

Power comes from a 196 Cummins diesel delivering 194kW and this drives through an automatic four speed transmission that provides all-wheel traction for high productivity. The machine is said to have an innovative power pack design that allows efficient power transfer to the final drive. The front oscillating axle works independently of the optional strike off blade and the rigid rear axle. This allows the blade to work in a permanently level position and ensures uniform distribution of soil on any type of terrain.  

The square pads of the compacting drums are said to have been optimised in size and pattern to maximise the energy transmitted to the soil, helping the CT3000 produce uniform compaction density with minimum scarification. The drums are offset by the width of a pad so that the rear drum can compact areas that have not been compacted by the front drum, so a double pass results in a compaction width of 4.42m. This means the CT3000 can cover a larger area in fewer passes, saving time, fuel and money on the job. The CT3000 features novel pad drum design with the drum is mounted on air filled rubber tyres. This reduces vibration to the operator platform significantly allowing smoother ride. The pad drums can easily be removed for ease of transportation.

The machine has an ergonomic control layout with good all round visibility. Additional safety features include a low center of gravity to ensure optimum stability of the machine and two brake systems. Hydrostatic steering allows a steering angle of 40° to either side and a turning radius of less than 6.4m for better manoeuvrability in tight areas.

    January 6, 2017
    Volvo’s two compact hydrostatic wheeled loaders, the nine and 10 tonne L45 and L50, have been upgraded to G-series specification. It means the compact loaders get a transversely-mounted, four-cylinder D4H engine that gives 74-86kW, and drives a twin-range hydrostatic transmission with 100% locking differentials on both axles.

    Atlas Copco is launching its new top hammer surface drill rig, the FlexiROC T45, along with its new rock drill COP 3060. The company says the new rig, which follows the ROC F9 before it, was to be built on a tried and trusted platform that would provide high-availability and a wide area of use for both large and small applications. Field studies are said to show that the FlexiROC T45 with folding boom, depending upon rock conditions, uses only half as much fuel as its predecessor the ROC F9 using the same
