Soil Sample Extruder, Power Assisted

Power-Assisted Soil Sample Extruder (Model 650E)

The most advanced and versatile power-assisted sample extruder on the market, fully enclosed for maximum operator safety.

Tired of the slow, strenuous process of manual sample extrusion? The Rainhart Power-Assisted Soil Sample Extruder (Model 650E) revolutionizes soil testing by enabling quick, effortless, and safe sample extrusion with just the push of a button. Designed with the user in mind, this powerful machine eliminates the operator fatigue associated with hand-pumping, allowing your team to work more efficiently and safely.

The extruder's core function is to carefully push compacted soil samples out of their molds without compromising their structural integrity. This is crucial for accurate density and moisture content analysis. The 650E model achieves this through a smooth, hydraulically powered piston, which prevents the sample from breaking or crumbling during the process.

Safety is paramount in our design. The unit is fully enclosed and features a two-button operation control. This system ensures that the operator's hands are always clear of moving parts while the extruder is in motion, significantly reducing the risk of workplace accidents.

With its rapid extrusion and quick change-over times between different mold sizes, this machine can dramatically increase your lab's productivity and testing throughput.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Effortless Push-Button Operation: No more manual hand pumping. The powered system extrudes any sample with the press of a two-button control.
• Enhanced Safety: The fully enclosed design and two-handed controls protect operators from moving components during operation.
• Preserves Sample Integrity: Smooth, controlled hydraulic action ensures samples are extruded without damage, leading to more accurate test results.
• Increased Productivity: Rapid extrusion and quick mold changes reduce downtime and increase the number of samples processed per day.
• Versatile and Adjustable: The loading frame is adjustable for various mold heights up to 12 inches and is compatible with both 4" and 6" diameter molds.
• Quiet and Compact: Operates quietly to reduce lab noise and has a small footprint to save valuable bench space.
• Durable Construction: Built with a heavy-duty, 1-inch thick steel piston face for long-lasting performance and reliability.
• Fast and Efficient Piston: The piston is powered both up and down, eliminating the need to wait for gravity to reset the mechanism.
• Compliance: Meets a wide range of industry standards, including AASHTO T99 & T180, ASTM D1557, D698, and TxDOT 113E, 114E & 117E.
