AZA 0999 CORE CUTTING GRINDING MACHINE

Description

The AZA 0999 Core Cutting Grinding Machine from Azalab is a dual-purpose laboratory instrument designed for the precise cutting and grinding of cylindrical rock, concrete, and mineral core samples. This combination machine is ideal for geotechnical labs, civil engineering facilities, mining companies, and research institutions that require reliable and accurate core preparation for strength and structural analysis.

By integrating both cutting and grinding capabilities in a single compact unit, this machine optimizes lab workflow, reduces handling time, and ensures uniformity across test specimens.

🧠 Why a Combined Core Cutting & Grinding Machine?

Core samples used in compressive strength, triaxial, and indirect tensile tests must be perfectly shaped with flat, parallel ends. The AZA 0999 facilitates this by:

• Cutting cylindrical specimens to desired lengths

• Grinding core faces to prepare for accurate load application

This machine eliminates the need for separate cutting and grinding setups, which often leads to handling damage and inconsistencies.

Dual function: cutting and grinding in one machine

Ideal for rock, concrete, and mineral core samples

Smooth, accurate face preparation for lab testing

Heavy-duty diamond blade and grinding wheel

Essential for geotechnical and civil labs

⚙️ Key Features
