Our intelligent compaction machines provide an accurate and immediate answer to this question. Each rolling sequence provides comprehensive compaction control and guarantees homogeneous soil consistency.
This demanding task is best mastered with the reliable Ammann Compaction Expert (ACE). It is available for vibratory rollers and vibratory plates. An intelligent measurement and control system calculates the current level of compaction and adjusts the compaction amplitude and frequency automatically and steplessly according to the substrate's condition. As the current compaction level of the substrate to be compacted (asphalt or earth) is established without delay, the ACE compactors are able to transfer the precise amount of compacting energy to the substrate. The system also calculates the ideal rolling speed and displays the surface temperature on asphalt substrates.
This data is recorded continuously throughout the compaction process and can be displayed and evaluated using the integrated documentation system named ADS (Ammann Documentation System). Stored data can be read out to provide comprehensive documentation or a thorough analysis.
The ACE functionality principle lies in adapting the compaction energy to match the density of the substrate. The lower the substrate density, the greater the compaction output. High compaction energy carries the risk of the machine "jumping" and destroying the grain. ACE reliably prevents these unfavourable operating conditions by automatically reducing the compaction energy level as the substrate density increases. Low-density substrates and surfaces are compacted with high amplitude and a low frequency. High-density areas, on the other hand, are compacted with low amplitude and a high frequency. ACE reliably optimises the entire compaction process, from strong and deep penetration at the start of compaction work to gentle surface finishing.
