Compact Core Drill

This compact and portable core drilling machine is designed to cut cores up to 150 mm diameter from concrete, asphalt and similar hard construction material. The machine comprises a vertical support column which carries the drill head/motor assembly. An integral water swivel is built into the drill head providing a 12 mm connection to an external water supply via 12 mm flexible hose (not supplied). The motor assembly comprises a 4 hp, 2-stroke petrol engine. Speeds of 800 rpm or 1200 rpm may be selected. A ball screw mechanism enables close control over drilling pressure and rapid return when drilling is completed. The complete assembly is supplied on a rigid metal base frame with levelling facility and is suitable for vertically down drilling applications only.

COMPRESSION TESTING MACHINE

Frame Rigid welded steel construction. ASTM spherical seat allows free alignment at the initial contact with the specimen. It is designed strictly conforming to the Standards, to test 4” and 6” diameter specimens. Compression platens See table. Traceable certificate of surface hardness available on request. Wizard, Semi-Automatic power and control system Dual stage pump: low pressure/high delivery for fast piston approach and high pressure/low volume for loading. Special hand operated pressure-compensated proportional valve for the manual preset of load rate requiring just occasional operator’s intervention.

Instron 1500HDX-SP Static UTS

Two test space design makes changing between tension and compression testing safer and more efficient - no need to remove heavy fixtures Fully open-front grip design improves operator safety and throughput, and allows a limited number of jaw faces to cover a large range of specimen sizes Long test stroke accommodates a variety of test fixtures and applications, such as rebar bend tests Productivity panel with multiple function keys and displays improves ergonomics, and allows the operator to perform common testing functions and view key test information without returning to the computer Powerful, yet user-friendly materials testing software provides repeatable and reproducible results for simple to sophisticated testing requirements Variable pressure hydraulic power supply provides pressure on demand, reducing heat generation, increasing oil life, and eliminating the need for water cooling

Fully Computerized Compression and Flexure Testing machine with ADVANTEST 9

Automatic hydraulic systems for static and low frequency dynamic tests on building materials under control of Load/Stress, Displacement, Strain. Ideal both for traditional tests, such as compression and flexure on concrete, cement, mortar, blocks etc. and cyclic tests for the determination of secant elastic modulus (E) (MCC Classic), and also for measuring, for example, the ductility and fracture energy of concrete reinforced with fibers (FRC) and lined with polymers (FRP), or the toughness of sprayed concrete slabs (shotcrete) under concentrated load tests (MCC Multitest). The console is connectable to up to four test frames. Two versions available: MCC Classic 50-C8422/C for the automatic execution of compression, flexure

Multi-channel Digital Strain meter DRA-30A

Either dynamic or static measurement possible (cannot be used together at the same time) Quarter bridge 3-wire, half bridge, full bridge and voltage selectable for each channel One-touch connecter receptacle provided for each channel in addition to conventional terminal Each channel incorporates A/D converter for simultaneous measurement and record of digital values Data memory of 112k words (30000 scans for static measurement) provided for each channel Easy on-line measurement with a PC using built-in GP-IB and USB1.1 interface Strain input is isolated for each channel – High input impedance Operates on either AC90~250V or DC10~30V Data recording software DRA-730A supplied

Linde Electric Pallet stacker L 12

Electric Pallet Stackers Capacity 1000 – 1200 kg (Series 1172-00) Pedestrian pallet stackers perform an essential role in providing exceptionally cost-effective handling solutions for a huge variety of businesses around the globe where space is at a premium and versatility and adaptability is required. The Linde L 10 and L 12 range of electric pedestrian pallet stackers are highly maneuverable, versatile trucks ideal for handling open base pallets and stillage carrying out a variety of tasks such as medium lift storage/retrieval, in narrow aisles, block stacking and pallet transfer duties. The low pivoting tiller arm keeps the operator at a safe distance from the truck when working and with all the controls ergonomically grouped on the tiller head for ease of use by either hand. The L 10, L 12 pallet stackers boast a rugged yet slim rounded profile chassis and clear view mast options, which combine with superbly functional and intuitive operating controls to enable highly efficient, fatigue-free load handling, coupled with very low operating costs.

TML Compressometer (Destructive)

The CM-10H Compressometer is designed to conduct a breaking strength test. It measures the compression strain on a cylindrical concrete specimen (10 cm in diameter × 20 cm in length) made of generally used concrete or high-strength concrete. The high-sensitivity strain gauge is assembled into this Compressometer to measure the amount of strain. Both the high-sensitivity strain gauge and a cylindrical concrete specimen are provided with coverings to protect them from damage. A cylindrical concrete specimen can be set in the Compressometer quickly and easily. This Compressometer allows the strain on a wet concrete specimen, taken out right after underwater curing, to be measured. With this compressometer linked with either the CLL-NA or CLH-MNA load meter, it is also possible to measure the modulus of static elasticity.

Skip-Fed Mixer with Hydraulic Tipping Drum and Hydraulic Skip

Adjustable rear feet with handle. Double-effect ram with valve enabling all position skip locking. Skip equipped with bag cutter and scraper guide. Protective grid ensuring optimal protection. Control panel equipped with phase detector, cuts out in case of incorrect wiring. The drum tipping is monitored by a hydraulic motor equipped with a valve to guarantee the blocking of the drum in any position. Standard scraper with reel (only electric version).
