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. It suits soil mechanics labs in engineering colleges, polytechnics and TVET centres where many students test in turn. Science Lab Supplies arranges supply of the device from its base in Ambala, India for colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
All construction and power details of the motor-driven Casagrande cup are tabulated below. Summed up, a spun brass cup on a pin-and-slot mount sits in an aluminium housing, a self-lubricating plastic cam turned by an enclosed 220 V gear motor lifts it, and it falls onto a moulded hard rubber base.

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, with grading of the fines on the Particle Size Analysis Test Set.
- 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, aided by the Geotechnical Gauge card.
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 full 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. If your geotechnical lab runs on a 220 V supply and needs this device, put the request on the contact page, list it beside other consistency-limit items in the enquiry cart, or go to the lab tender page for bid-based buying.
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 the spelling used in this product's name; the apparatus itself is the standard Casagrande liquid limit device with a brass cup, cam drive and drop counter.
Who supplies the Motorised Casangarnde Equipment?
Ambala-based Science Lab Supplies is the supplier. Colleges, institutes and contractors get a single quotation from it for the motorised device and any other soil lab items they add, with packing and delivery time stated.
