Description

The hand operated vertical extruder ejects undisturbed and/or compacted soil specimens from sampling tubes and moulds. It is used in sample preparation for a variety of soil tests including:

  • Triaxial
  • Permeability
  • Direct shear
  • Consolidation
  • Unconfined compression
  • CBR
  • Proctor and Marshall


The extruder comes with a series of additional tools, such as a manual hydraulic pump, that can be set up to provide a comfortable working position during the extruding procedure. The 70 kN capacity extruder applies smooth piston strokes to samples making sure that even the most stubborn of them can be easily handled and quickly ejected.
Additional optional accessories are available to convert your extruder to a horizontal set-up.

Please note that adaptors must be ordered separately. If you don’t find the adapter kit suitable for your moulds/sampling tubes, you can request to have them custom-made to the correct size.
