Aggregates and rock testing equipment manufacturers in India serve a heavy-duty market, because crusher plants and road projects test large, abrasive samples every day. Among suppliers in India, Civil Mechanical India builds robust drums, baths and frames sized for production labs, not for occasional demonstration.
The range splits into aggregate quality tests and rock mass tests. For aggregate, the abrasion and attrition machines, flakiness and elongation gauges, soundness bath and polished stone value machine describe wear, particle shape and durability under weather and traffic. For rock, the core saw prepares specimens, the compression machine and point load tester measure strength, and the slake durability and rebound hammer judge weak or weathered rock.
Quarry and highway labs typically start with abrasion and shape gauges, then add rock tests when a project includes tunnels, slopes or dimension stone.

Soil testers work on fine ground material and report plasticity, shear and consolidation parameters. This group handles hard, coarse material: crushed stone for concrete and pavement layers, and intact rock cores for engineering design. The machines are heavier, with steel drums, diamond blades and high-capacity frames. Quarries and highway labs often buy both groups, with a sieve shaker serving as the bridge between them.

The complete Aggregates and Rock Testing Equipment range (10 products), in alphabetical order:
Confirm the method, since IS 2386, ASTM C131 and EN 1097 differ in sample grading and ball charge. Check drum dimensions, rotation speed of 30 to 33 rpm, the automatic counter and the stop function, dust-proof cover and the motor supply. Ask whether the ball charge and a calibration sieve set are included.
A compression machine gives uniaxial compressive strength on prepared cylindrical cores but needs a saw and capping or grinding. A point load tester gives a quick strength index on irregular lumps or cores in the field or lab. Many labs buy both, using point load for screening and compression for design values.
The diamond saw, coolant tank, core trimming vices, a calliper or core gauge, and a drying oven are all part of preparation. Ask for spare blades, platens and rubber caps in the quotation. Space and drainage for wet cutting should be planned before the machines arrive.
Quarry owners, crusher and ready-mix plants, highway and railway contractors, mining and tunnelling consultants, and accredited testing laboratories place orders for this group. A usual lab order combines abrasion and shape testers with a sieve shaker and oven, then adds rock cutting and strength machines if the work includes dimension stone, slopes or underground structures.
Yes. Civil Mechanical India manufactures the Los Angeles drum machine with a counter and auto stop, built for production labs. Specify the standard and grading so the ball charge, shelf plate and sample pan fit your method.
It measures how much an aggregate polishes under simulated traffic, which indicates the skid resistance a road surface will keep over time. Highway agencies use the value when approving chippings for wearing courses, so it is relevant mainly to road project labs.
A 2000 kN frame can crush concrete cubes, but rock cores need different platens and a controlled rate. If one machine must do both jobs, tell us the specimen sizes so the right platens, guards and a load rate controller are included.
Installation and operator training can be arranged for orders in India, and the details depend on the machine and location. Heavy items such as saws and frames are packed for road transport and need a levelled base.
Yes. These machines are exported with export packing and documentation. Mention the destination country and local voltage so motors and controls are built to suit.
