The Motorized Horizontal Sample Extruder ejects undisturbed soil samples from full-size thin-walled samplers (Shelby Tubes) in one stroke.

The Motorized Horizontal Sample Extruder ejects undisturbed soil samples from full-size thin-walled samplers (Shelby Tubes) in one stroke.

It is used in sample preparation for a variety of soil tests including: triaxial, permeability, direct shear, consolidation, unconfined compression and more in combination with soil lathe and trimmer.

The smooth, easily controlled piston stroke permits easy handling and rapid processing of samples.

The extruder can apply up to 70 kN of force to eject even stubborn samples.

The hydraulic system precisely controls the horizontally mounted piston.

The unit comes with a sample receiving trough to ensure minimal disturbance while ejecting and logging samples.

Adaptors have to be ordered separately.
If you don’t find the adapter kit suitable for your moulds/sampling tube dimension custom size are available on request.

• High capacity up 70 kN allows to eject most stubborn of samples
• Compliant with ASTM Standard D1587-15 in terms of length and sample diameters (2”-3”).
• Save spacing, once the extruder is not in use in can be adjusted in vertical position to reduce space occupied in the lab.
• Efficient tube fitting system, allows easily positioning of the sampling tube before the extruding process.
• Includes Sample Receiving Trough to ensure minimal disturbance while ejecting and logging samples.
