Overview

Overview

High efficiency

Unique vibrating module design combined with 50mm thick drum provides superior compaction performance

Reliability

The vibration system uses an eccentric vibrating module design, extending life by more than 50%

Operation

Digital frequency counter and three-level alarm system monitor machine performance

SEM™ 518

Vibe Pod Design

Eccentric vibe pod design, extends system life by 50% Steel shot moving inside closed eccentric block, stable and reliable vibe amplitude, reduces impact to motor, prolongs maintenance period of vibratory system Completely sealed eccentric gear eliminates contamination, prolongs bearing life SEM520/522 are equipped with a 50 mm thick drum compared to competitors with a 40 mm thick drum, provides increased compaction performance versus the competition
