Wirtgen Hamm HC Series VC Compactors

Wirtgen offers Hamm HC 250 C VC (Tier 3) and HC 250i C VC (EU Stage V/EPA Tier 4f) compactors for construction projects. These machines are able to crush and compact mixed soils, stones such as basalt and granite and other construction materials with comparable pressure resistance in a single workstep.

As with the predecessor series, this is indicated by the initials “VC” (Vibration Crusher) in the type designation. Featuring powerful Deutz engines and reinforced components around the front frame, three-point articulation and the underbody, the new compactors are designed for tough applications. The separate “C” in the type designation also symbolizes a reinforced drum drive, capable of inclines of up to 60%. The 25 t machines are supplied with heavy-duty tires for rocky terrain, driver's cab and the Easy Drive operating concept all as standard.

The compactors feature seats with extended backrest. An air-sprung driver's seat can be selected as an optional extra.

New Tool Holder System

The new VC compactors are equipped with the newly designed tool holder system. This is compatible with round-shank cutting tools for stone, as well as wear-resistant heavy-duty cutting tools with carbide tips and hard facing for abrasive stone or hard stone. The configuration of the tool holder system and the way the tool inserts attach have been designed for assembly and removal without special tools. Existing machines (H 25i VC/3625 VC) can also be fitted with the new-design tool holder system by switching the drum. Transport rings are available for transport.

Applications

In addition to the customary crushing and compacting of geological material to create a stable substrate, the machines are also utilized to level rubble in landfill sites. The VC compactor can also be called upon for road planning works in tunnel building and surface mining sectors or to pre-crush and loosen stone.
