Motorised Casangarnde Equipment
Product Code : LSK-SM-10651
Motorised Casangarnde Equipment (SKU LSK-SM-10651) is a motor-driven Casagrande liquid limit device: a gear motor lifts and drops a brass cup holding a grooved soil pat while a mechanical counter records the drops. Soil mechanics labs in engineering colleges, polytechnics and TVET centres choose it where many students test in turn. It is supplied by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India for colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The spun brass cup is pin-and-slot mounted in an aluminium housing that also holds the drop adjustment parts, and falls onto a moulded hard rubber base. A self-lubricating plastic cam lifts the cup, turned by a gear motor on the metal base that is enclosed in the housing with the on-off switch.

Applications and Experiments for the Motorised Casagrande Equipment
The device determines the liquid limit of fine-grained soils, which with the plastic limit gives the plasticity index for soil classification. A motor drive removes differences in cranking speed between students, which helps when a whole class runs the test in soil mechanics and road materials practicals.
- B.E./B.Tech civil engineering: liquid limit and flow curve in the geotechnical lab.
- Diploma civil engineering: Atterberg limit practicals with repeat trials at several water contents.
- TVET civil and road construction modules: classifying soils for fill and subgrade.
Because it runs on mains power, keep water and wet soil away from the switch and motor housing, and switch off before cleaning the cup.
Standard Scope of Supply
The device is supplied with its motor-driven cup assembly, aluminium housing, moulded rubber base, mechanical counter and grooving tools, ready for a 220 V AC, 50 Hz supply. Mixing dishes, spatulas and moisture tins are separate items and can be added to the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations cover one device or a lab quantity and state the packing, delivery time and price for the number requested. Other Atterberg limit items and vocational training equipment for the soil lab can be combined on the same quotation.
Registered as an exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman. Use the contact page to ask a question, the enquiry cart to list several items, or the lab tender page for tenders.
Frequently Asked Questions
What power supply does it need?
220 V AC, 50 Hz. The gear motor is enclosed in the housing with its on-off switch, and the mechanical counter records every drop of the cup.
Why choose a motorised liquid limit device?
The motor turns the cam at a steady rate, so drops are delivered evenly whoever runs the test. A hand-operated model is listed separately for labs without a convenient mains supply.
Is Casangarnde the same as Casagrande?
Yes. Casangarnde is how the product name is spelt in our catalogue; the apparatus is the standard Casagrande liquid limit device.
Who supplies the Motorised Casangarnde Equipment?
Science Lab Supplies handles supply from Ambala, India, and sends colleges, institutes and contractors one quotation covering the device and any related soil lab items.
