MBW - Model Ergo-Tamp - Pneumatic Tamper

MBW has developed the Ergo-Tamp, addressing one of the construction industry's most troubling and physically demanding compaction tools. Known as pneumatic tampers, or colloquially as 'Pole Tampers' and 'Pogo Sticks,' these tools traditionally produce high levels of hand/arm vibration, contributing to ailments such as white finger, carpal tunnel syndrome, and arthritis. The Ergo-Tamp reduces this vibration by up to 70%, though results may vary with different compaction conditions. The device incorporates a vibration absorption system that can handle the typical amplitude range of pneumatic tampers and benefits from a constant flow of compressed air through its mechanism for cooling. This innovation makes the pneumatic tamper more operator-friendly, reducing premature termination of compaction tasks and thereby decreasing the likelihood of pavement failures. Optional features include a trigger guard to prevent accidental activation.

MBW - Model Airammer - Pneumatically Powered Rammer

The Airammer™ is a pneumatically powered rammer. It eliminates a long list of engine related problems. There are no fuel or fuel mixing issues, no carburetor, no spark plug, no exhaust ports or muffler to foul with carbon, no rewind starter, no flooding problems, no air or fuel filters that can be plugged, no rpm issues, all of which affect performance. The Airammer isn’t the right machine for every application, but it’s perfect for crews with ready access to an air compressor.
