speed up construction and change the
way engineers specify the compaction of
roads and other structures. The new
technology also allows operators to ‘dial-
in’ required compaction levels and use
the machines’ unique amplitude and
frequency settings to provide the right
compaction levels in the most efficient
manner possible.
“Thanks to the advanced mechanics
of Ammann’s new AcePro series
compactors, the drum can be oscillated
or vibrated with precisely enough
vibrations per second and oscillation
force to correctly compact the substrate
beneath to an exact and predetermined
depth. Simultaneously, sensors and
onboard software can provide real-time
