Horizontal Universal Manual Screw Extruder Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : TVT-STE-10597
The Horizontal Universal Manual Screw Extruder is a hand-operated unit for extruding soil samples from 38 mm to 150 mm in diameter, using a screw mechanism rather than a hydraulic ram.
How It Works
The sample tube or mould is loaded horizontally, and the operator turns a screw mechanism to advance the extruding ram along the tube at a controlled, steady rate, pushing the soil sample out without the need for electrical power or a hydraulic pump. This makes the unit a simple, low-maintenance option for laboratories with lower sample throughput or where a manual, purely mechanical extractor is preferred.

Applications
This manual extruder handles undisturbed samples recovered by thin-walled tube sampling per ASTM D1587: Standard Practice for Thin-Walled Tube Sampling of Soils, as well as disturbed samples from Proctor/CBR-type compaction moulds (ASTM D698/D1557/D1883, IS 2720 Parts 7, 8 & 16), giving laboratories a power-free alternative to motorised extruders for the same diameter range.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this extruder need electrical power?
No, it is fully hand-operated via a screw mechanism and requires no electrical power or hydraulic pump.
What is the maximum stroke available?
The extruder provides a stroke of up to 680 mm to accommodate longer sample tubes.
How does this compare to the motorised horizontal extruder?
It covers the same 38-150 mm diameter range but relies on manual screw operation rather than a motor-driven hydraulic ram, suiting laboratories with lower throughput or no power supply at the extraction station.
