MBW’s AP2000 is the first vibratory plate compactor specifically designed for asphalt applications. It optimizes frequency, amplitude, centrifugal force, and mass to maximize productivity on asphalt.
The mechanical design of the AP2000 is tailored for this demanding application. Its stress-relieved steel plate housings are crack-resistant and designed for long-lasting durability. The aluminum exciter housing dissipates heat rapidly, and custom lubricants maintain the integrity of the bearings and seals. Additionally, the self-cleaning plate prevents dirt build-up.
The GP2000 is a variation of the AP2000, with adjustments to frequency, amplitude, centrifugal force, and mass to achieve optimal productivity in compacting sands and gravel. The GP2000 can attain excellent densities on lifts of granular soils up to 12 inches (31 cm).
The GP3550 is a high-production compactor designed for longevity with reasonable maintenance. It comes with a full roll cage as standard equipment and can accommodate a water tank for asphalt compaction on the AP3550 model. The base plate features a self-cleaning design with open sides that allow material to flow out and away from the belt and pulley assembly during operation. Both models offer reduced hand and arm vibration, full roll cage protection, enhanced amplitude, faster travel speeds, and a robust updated appearance.
The GP5800 is an upgrade to the GP5500. It retains the outstanding performance characteristics of its predecessor while improving ergonomics, ease of service, and product life expectancy. Key features include a removable, easily serviced exciter assembly, superior suspension for better engine isolation, lower hand and arm vibration, and a standard protective cage surrounding the engine. This high-production compactor can travel up to 130 feet per minute and generates 0.94-inch amplitude for deep penetration of backfill materials, making it unmatched for mid-sized to large commercial and infrastructure applications.
