Hamm is offering four new compactors that are designed and developed in its Chinese facility for the Chinese and emergent markets. Suited to rental duties, the four machines are all powered by the same 22.kW diesel model. Customers have a choice of double drum or combination drum variants for the two basic drum widths.
The HD35VO is a 3.47tonne double drum model with 1.2m wide drums. The HD35VT meanwhile is the combination roller variant, weighing 3.32tonnes.
The HD30VO is a double drum unit with dr
Emerging markets, such as North and East Africa, are developing an appetite for materials testing equipment, but suppliers need to provide expertise and training as well as a broad range of machines, as Kristina Smith finds out
Asking what sort of testing equipment is required for Africa is a little bit like asking what sort of food Europeans like to eat. The answer is that requirements vary enormously from the most basic and ancient of tests to the very cutting edge of dynamic testing.

Effective compaction control is one of a series of technical innovations boosting performance efficiency – Mike Woof writes. Maximising compaction efficiency can be a major cost factor on construction projects. Both for soil and asphalt compaction sectors, the risk from leaving an area under or over-compacted is substantial.
Since launching its Gyratory Compactor B041 in February 2012, Matest has improved on the machine’s design. Changes to worktop, door and lighting – and a novel new accessory to help with weighing the mix - aim to improve the equipment’s functionality. Matest has reduced the size of the Gyratory Compactor’s worktop to make the use, transportation and installation easier when tests are performed on mobile laboratories or directly on construction sites. And it has reshaped the worktop to accommodate the ‘integr
