POKER VIBRATOR (WITH VIBRATING TABLE) AZA1167
The AZA1167 Poker Vibrator with Vibrating Table is a dual-function concrete compaction system designed for laboratory applications where high precision, uniformity, and compliance with testing standards are essential. This integrated setup combines internal (needle) vibration with surface/table vibration, enabling superior compaction for concrete cubes, cylinders, beams, and specialty moulds.
Concrete compaction is a critical step in laboratory sample preparation. Improperly compacted concrete contains air voids that significantly reduce compressive strength and compromise test reliability. The AZA1167 system resolves these challenges by offering both internal and external vibration methods in a single platform, streamlining workflows and producing consistent, repeatable results.
The Poker Vibrator uses a high-frequency needle (25 mm) to penetrate fresh concrete and eliminate trapped air. Meanwhile, the Vibrating Table provides uniform surface vibrations ideal for cube moulds, cylinder moulds, and specimens that require gentle but effective compaction. Both units can be operated independently or simultaneously, depending on the testing requirement.
Built with a sturdy powder-coated steel frame, rubber-mounted vibration isolation, and corrosion-resistant components, the AZA1167 is engineered for long-term durability in high-throughput concrete laboratories. It conforms to ASTM C31/C31M and IS 1199 standards for concrete sampling and compaction, ensuring suitability for accredited testing facilities.

CONCRETE FLOW TABLE TEST SET AZA1110
AZA1110 Concrete Flow Table Test Set is a precision-engineered laboratory apparatus designed to determine the workability, consistency, and flow characteristics of fresh concrete. It is especially suitable for Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC), precast concrete, and high-consistency mixes where the traditional slump test is not effective.
This test set works by allowing a freshly mixed concrete sample to spread under controlled, repeated vertical jolts of a mechanically calibrated table. The final spread diameter of the concrete is measured to assess its flowability and uniformity.
Built with a rigid, precisely machined table surface, the AZA1110 ensures repeatable and reliable results. Its heavy-duty construction allows long-term use in demanding laboratory environments while remaining easy to clean, store, and maintain.
