SIEVE SHAKER ‘GYRATORY’ AZA0926

The Azalab AZA0926 Gyratory Sieve Shaker is a high-performance laboratory instrument designed for accurate, repeatable dry particle size analysis of granular and powdered materials. Utilizing a combined gyratory (orbital) motion with vertical tapping, the AZA0926 delivers superior separation efficiency compared to conventional vibratory-only sieve shakers.

This motion profile is particularly effective for materials that are fine, cohesive, electrostatically charged, irregular in shape, or prone to sieve blinding, making the AZA0926 an essential tool for quality control, research, and material characterization in civil engineering, cement, mining, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and chemical industries.

Description

Principle of Operation

The AZA0926 operates on a dual-motion mechanism:

  • Gyratory (Orbital) Motion
    The sieve stack moves in a horizontal circular path, allowing particles to roll freely over the sieve surface. This ensures continuous reorientation of particles and maximizes the probability of correct-size passage through the mesh.

  • Vertical Tapping Action
    Intermittent tapping dislodges particles trapped in sieve apertures due to shape, moisture films, or static forces, preventing blinding and ensuring complete separation.

This combination results in faster sieving, higher accuracy, and excellent repeatability, especially for difficult-to-sieve materials.

HEAVY COMPACTION TEST AZA0866

The AZA0866 Heavy Compaction Test Set from Azalab is designed for determining the Maximum Dry Density (MDD) and Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) of soils using the Heavy Compaction (Modified Proctor) Method, in accordance with IS 2720 (Part VIII). This test is fundamental in geotechnical engineering, road and highway construction, foundation design, embankment works, and earthworks where soils are subjected to high compactive effort. The heavy compaction test realistically simulates field compaction achieved by modern construction equipment, enabling reliable prediction of soil behavior under service loads. This configuration is supplied with a 150 mm diameter mould (2250 cc volume), making it particularly suitable for coarse-grained and granular soils.
Scope of Use The AZA0866 Heavy Compaction Test Set is used to establish the relationship between moisture content and dry density of soil under heavy compaction energy. The resulting compaction curve is used to determine MDD and OMC, which are essential parameters for compaction control and quality assurance in field construction.

LIQUID LIMIT DEVICE WITH COUNTER AZA0853

The AZA0853 Liquid Limit Device with Counter from AZALAB is a precision-engineered instrument used for determining the liquid limit of soils in accordance with the Casagrande method. This test is a fundamental component of soil classification and geotechnical investigation, providing critical insight into the plasticity, compressibility, and shear strength of fine-grained soils.

Designed for reliable, repeatable, and standardized testing, the AZA0853 is widely used in geotechnical laboratories, civil engineering departments, construction quality control labs, and academic institutions.

Principle of Liquid Limit Test (Casagrande Method)

The liquid limit is defined as the water content at which soil transitions from a plastic state to a liquid state. In practice, it is determined as the moisture content at which a standard groove cut in the soil sample closes over a length of 12.5 mm under 25 blows of the liquid limit apparatus.

The AZA0853 consists of a polished brass cup mounted on an adjustable bracket. The cup is repeatedly raised and dropped from a fixed height of 1 cm onto a hard rubber base by means of a manually operated cam mechanism. A built-in mechanical counter accurately records the number of blows, ensuring compliance with testing standards and reducing operator error.
