Specifications
The Wacker Neuson IRFU65 115V/50-60HZ, 8 Meter – 5000610288 stands out as a world-class, high-frequency internal concrete vibrator engineered for superior compaction, project versatility, and jobsite safety. As part of Wacker Neuson’s renowned IRFU series, this advanced tool is meticulously designed for concrete professionals who demand consistent performance, uncompromising reliability, and regulatory compliance across all types of slab, wall, column, and infrastructure pours.
Overview: The Power of Integrated Frequency Conversion
The IRFU65 features a heavy-duty, wear-resistant 2.6-inch (65mm) vibrator head with a robust 8-meter (26.2ft) protection hose, delivering market-leading consolidation for mid-to-large-scale concrete placements. Its real differentiator is the integrated frequency converter: you simply plug the IRFU65 into a standard 115V single-phase outlet—eliminating the need for external frequency converters, heavy cabling, or generator-specific wiring.
This system guarantees uniform frequency and amplitude regardless of power source fluctuations, resulting in uniform compaction and finish on every use. It’s ideal for contractors who need to move quickly from site to site or adapt instantly to a changing power landscape—essential for rental fleets and large projects with multiple teams in action.
Technical Specifications
Advanced Features for Next-Level Performance
Integrated Frequency Converter
-
Ensures a solid, constant 12,000 VPM—even with widely variable site voltage, generator quality, or fluctuating loads—yielding pro-grade compaction and finish every time.
-
No external converter box required—a single, transportable unit reduces complexity and tripping hazards and cuts setup/teardown times for mobile crews.
Bodyguard™ Safety Switch
-
Offers the fastest on-cord shutdown (3ms) in response to ground faults, power surges, or electrical hazards, exceeding OSHA and global job safety norms while protecting operators in even the harshest conditions.
Tempered, Induction-Hardened Head
-
The 2.6" x 19.3" vibrator head is fully induction-hardened for maximum durability, resisting abrasion, impact, and wear—perfect for low-slump, high-slump, superplasticized, and heavily reinforced mixes.
Ergonomics and Control
-
Robust switch box with easy-glove access and low-HAV (hand/arm vibration) ensures all-day operator productivity.
-
Cable and hose design provide wide working radius and keep the work zone clear and efficient.
Repairable, Modular Design
-
Electronics are completely potted and waterproof for long service life, yet the head and shaft can be repaired by replacing individual components, maximizing lifecycle value.
Best-in-Class Use Cases
-
Industrial/Commercial Slabs: Achieve full-depth compaction and reduced air entrapment for warehouses, factories, parking decks, and highways.
-
Heavy Infrastructure: Long hose reach and stable frequency make IRFU65 a top choice for bridges, beams, core walls, dams, and piers.
-
Precast/Architectural Work: Uniform vibration over 1m radius, minimizing bug holes and cold joints, perfect for high-aesthetic finish demands.
-
Complex, Multifaceted Pours: Handles congested rebar mats, column cages, caissons, and tall forms with ease thanks to extended reach and fast vibration response.
Real-World Performance: Contractor and Operator Feedback
Professionals widely report:
-
Quick jobsite setup: Just one plug, flip the switch, and the IRFU65 is ready, with no calibration or bulky secondary equipment.
-
Superior compaction: Delivers uniform movement, eliminating honeycombing and cold joints.
-
Increased jobsite safety: Bodyguard system and IP67 enclosures keep crews protected and projects running, even in adverse weather or wet, gritty environments.
-
Minimal downtime: Rugged construction, repairable components, and easy maintenance access mean more pours per tool and lower lifecycle costs.
Wacker Neuson IRFU65 vs. Traditional & Modular Electric Vibrators
| Feature | IRFU65 | Conventional Modular/Converter |
|---|---|---|
| Frequency Conversion | Integrated (in-unit) | External/converter required |
| Connection | Standard 115V, plug-n-play | Often 240V or 3-phase |
| Personal Protection | Bodyguard safety, IP67 | Basic GFCI or none |
| Head & Shaft | Induction-hardened, repairable | Hardened but often not repairable |
| Setup Time | Instant (connect & go) | 5–15 min (setup converters) |
| Durability | Pro-grade, field repairable | Varies, more fragile parts |
| Noise/Vibration | 79dB(A), 3.4m/s² (HAV safe) | May exceed optimal levels |
| Hose/Cable Length | 8m + 15m (stock) | Often 4–5m max (hose/cable) |
