2020 RexPactor™ Soil Compactors SP-8

Available in three sizes, the RexPactor™ is a high speed soil and embankment compactor with features that can deliver the high quality soil substructure qualities necessary for long lasting structures sought after by todays infrastructure designers.

Crucial to the stability and longevity of roadway, pipeline and other soil embankments is the proper preparation of the subgrade level of the structure. CMI RexPactors are an important tool to civil and energy infrastructure builders around the world to ensure the high performance of these structures.

Today’s surface transportation infrastructure, designed and largely built decades ago, is carrying volumes of traffic and carrying weights that weren’t necessarily anticipated in those times. With population and economic growth, truck traffic will continue to grow with cargo weights ever increasing along with the number of passenger vehicle miles traveled. These unrelenting pressures will exert ever higher forces on both concrete and asphalt roadway surfaces.

Roadway surface failure analysis reveals that a vast majority of failures such as cracking, pavement rutting and ‘pot-holes’ actually originates from the sub-structure. A key step in ensuring that the sub-structure can retain the proper strength to support the roadway pavement structure, as well as the designed traffic load, is properly compacting the load bearing soil lying beneath.

The solution to achieving high density and uniformly compacted soils is the CMI RexPactor™, the industry’s only full width soil compactor utilising all four wheel paths in a single pass. All other soil compactors based on old fashioned style tractors leave an uncompacted center-line swathe between the two wheel paths resulting in increased passes, fuel consumption & reduced machine life, while also making them unusable in confined areas such as trench pipelines.

Features may include:

• Unique wheel arrangements resulting in the industry's only full width soil compactor

• Exclusive open ring design; self cleaning wheels compact from the bottom up

• New ergonomically designed cab has the operator in mind with a high back suspension seat, joystick control of steering and blade functions and clear instrumentation.

• New state of the art LED lights positioned front and rear for excellent working visibility.

• Gas spring assisted engine enclosure with vandal-proof locking protection, allows easy access to all service points including the cooling package.

• High altitude tested. High ambient cooling designed for operation in a wide range of climates worldwide.

• The industry’s only open wheel design results in the deepest lifts, better densities, and ability to achieve quicker and higher densities with less effort than any competitor. New urethane isolator blocks require zero maintenance and provide a smoother ride.

• All new redesigned drive train with industry leading draw bar pull and high torque for increased dozing capabilities. Three speed forward and three reverse. Oil cooled modular components, planetary drives, and large diameter torque converter.

• Designed with reversible cutting edge and has the ability to be ordered with variable widths and semi U-configuration bolt-on extensions. Heat treated moldboard.

• Steering and blade cylinders and associated hoses are mounted high on the machine providing protection from debris.
