Slurry Consolidation Device
This fully automatic electromechanical consolidation apparatus is designed to perform tests on specimens that have a large settlement e.g.
- > Very fine-grained clay
- > Tailing mud and mine waste
- > study was to determine the consolidation behaviour of clay slurries
- > phosphatic clays
- > waste materials such as dredging
- > Sea muds or oozy muds
- > Harbor muds
Special consolidation cells with electromechanical loading systems, made by Wille Geotechnik®, enable all kinds of consolidation procedures to be applied (e.g. IL, CRS, CL, CG tests).
The device has a version of Temperature controlled between -10C degrees up to +60C degrees.

- Applications
- Special-compression cells to measure the consolidation behaviour of muds and viscous materials with measuring and/or pore water pressure controlling
- Special cell resistance to aggressive fluids e.g. saline solution and corrosive materials
- Special construction allows accurate measurement and control of normal stress, including measurement and compensation of wall friction influences
- Built-in filter plates in head and base plates to remove free pore water
- Multi-stage load cells allow for high levels of accuracy in control at low and high stresses
- Multi-stage load cells
