    What are the different types of compactors?

    Basically, the type of compactor is mainly depended upon the type of soil that needs to be compacted.

    Here, I am discussing various types of compactor which are used for some m special type of soil.

    • Rammer: for soils in confined space
    • Sheep foot roller: for silty soil and clay soil
    • Pneumatic tyred roller: for sand, gravel, silty soil and clay soil
    • Smooth wheel roller: crushed Rock gravity sand

    (The degree of compaction is inversely proportional to the layer thickness of a soil)
