STRENGTH TESTER

SJ1

With the SJ1 Strength Tester, you can reliably test green sand specimens and standard transverse test bars in accordance with VDG guidelines. Compressive, shear, double shear, tensile splitting and transverse strengths are measured precisely, while test data can be exported directly.

Precise Strength Testing for Reliable Sand Analysis

The SJ1 Strength Tester is a fully electric solution for the precise testing of moulding sands. Its ball screw drive ensures a constant test speed, providing the basis for accurate and reproducible results.

Measurement data is captured by a high-precision load cell with a capacity of up to 2 kN. The system can apply forces of up to 1200 N and supports a wide range of strength tests.

Interchangeable testing tools allow different test methods to be carried out quickly and efficiently. Test parameters such as speed and evaluation settings can be adjusted to suit specific requirements. A safety door with an integrated switch ensures safe operation throughout the testing process.

Modern and Practical

Many foundries still use testing equipment from an era when measurements were performed primarily by hand. Manual operation and hydraulic systems are more prone to errors and require greater maintenance effort.

In addition, analogue displays can make precise and unambiguous reading of measurement values more difficult, increasing the risk of misinterpreting test results.

Because test speeds often depend on the operator, results can vary from one user to another. Reliable moulding sand control requires objective and reproducible measurement data.

Our testing equipment significantly reduces these influences. Automated testing procedures ensure measurements are carried out independently of the operator, with high precision and excellent repeatability.
