Concrete Cylinder End Grinder

Five units of Ø38 to 50 mm cylinders, three units of Ø70 mm to Ø110 mm cylinders, two units of Ø110 mm to Ø160 mm cylinders,can be ground simultaneously with the suitable cradle.

Application

• Concrete strength grade of 80 MPa or less, single end grinding achieves constant results.
• Concrete cylinders with double end grinding method gives constant compressive strength values for all strength grades.
• Grinds planeness and parallelism of test cylinder ends in accordance with ASTM standards C31, C39, C-192, and EN 12390-3,12390-1, 12504-1.
• Ready to use for 150 x 300 mm test cylinders and for 100 x 200 mm test cylinders (includes adaptor).
• Automatic bi-directional radial displacement of the table.

Water Recirculation Tank

An optional UTC-1064 water tank with a filtration and circulation system is available. This water tank is ideal for operating a cylinder grinder in laboratories that do not have a water treatment system.

Automatic Operation

A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) manages the machine and all its automatic controls. The PLC is essentially the grinding machine's brain, as it controls all its functions. The control panel of the device consists of timer unit, run and alarm lights and start-stop-reset-emergency stop buttons.

Timer

The timer controls the duration of the full cycle. The grinding time is determined for each sample according to material hardness and cylinder diameter. The timer is set in seconds only.

• Control Box: Programmable Logic Controller
• Variable Speed Drive: The machine is equipped with three (3) variable speed
• Timer: The duration of the full cycle is controlled by the timer. The material hardness and cylinder diameter both determine how long the grinding time for each sample will be.
• Emergency Button: When this emergency button is activated, all controls are inhibited and the machine cannot be restarted until the button is released.
