The BEST, FASTEST & LOWEST COST Compaction

Innovation from the UK that makes a real difference to the cost and quality of compaction. Belle Group has made a significant improvement to the performance of plate compactors without compromising on cost or practicality. This booklet explains how a simple, physical principle has been harnessed by Belle Group to give its customers a valuable advantage. Any innovation of this simplicity and effectiveness will challenge long held beliefs. The advantages become clear when you see the machines in action and test the results. The conclusions from independent testing and 10 years of practical...

The Dual Force claim to faster and superior compaction has been proved time after time during ten years of practical field use. Early users saw the potential benefits and put the technology to the ultimate test. Using Dual Force for day-to-day work alongside traditional equipment has supplied the evidence to support the claims. User groups in the UK have also engaged the most respected research organisations such as TRL (Transport Research Laboratory) and WRC (Water Research Council), to carry out quantifiable and scientific tests that determined the exact difference Dual Force can make....

Using the commonly quoted weight and vibrator force to judge performance is misleading. It’s like guessing how fast a car will go from the quoted weight and horsepower. Just as a heavy car needs more power to keep up with a sports car, heavy plate compactors need more power to maintain a reasonable speed. This doesn’t give us any idea what compaction work the machine is doing. We need to know what pressure a machine exerts on the ground. We can ignore the vibrator force by assuming it is sufficient to move the machine and the frequency is right to vibrate the material. The weight is...

Q. Why did Belle make the innovative leap to Dual Force? A . “Necessity is the mother of all invention” The UK Government introduced legislation to improve the standard of road repairs. This barred the use of all ineffective plate compactors on public highways. Q. What is the UK legislation? A. The New Roads and Streetworks Act 1993 (NRSWA) was the result of a long study in to all aspects of Highways work. One section in particular details the methods, materials and machinery that should be used for highway reinstatements. Q. Who knows enough about highway work to ‘lay down the law’? A. A...

Q. What are the requirements for compaction and the equipment used? A. The compaction specification was devised after very thorough research and testing to arrive at a specification that would produce consistently good results. Table detailing, equipment and number of compaction passes for different layer thickness. Q. Is the specification still up to date with advances in materials and equipment technology? A. The regional and national HAUC committees constantly review the situation and can offer new guidelines. A major revision in 2002 proposed that rollers in the 600 to 1000kg/m category...
