6-inch Sector Face Tamping Head

The Rainhart 662-TMP-6S is a 6-inch sector face tamping head specifically designed for use with the Rainhart 662EP Proctor Soil Compactor. Weighing 3 lbs, this tamping head is a crucial component for performing various soil compaction tests with precision and ease.

Seamless Integration with the Rainhart 662EP Proctor Soil Compactor

Rainhart tamping heads are engineered to be fully interchangeable with a single shaft on the 662EP compactor, eliminating the need for costly additional parts and streamlining your testing process. This design allows for quick and easy transitions between different testing standards.

The Rainhart 662EP Proctor Soil Compactor is a leader in the industry, renowned for its versatility, high efficiency, and low maintenance requirements. Its innovative circular compaction pattern automatically adjusts to the specimen height, ensuring uniform blows without manual adjustments between layers. This unique method, where the tamping head revolves around a stationary sample, yields more accurate and repeatable results in shorter cycle times.
