3000 kN Compression Machines, Block Platens


The 3000 kN Compression Machines with Block Platens by Matest are a high-capacity solution designed for testing larger concrete samples. The machine features a bigger frame with increased space between the columns, allowing ample room for cylinders, cubes, and blocks.

Instead of cylindrical platens, this version uses rectangular block platens of larger dimensions. It is capable of testing cylinders up to 160x320 mm, cubes up to 300 mm side, and blocks up to 500x300 mm, providing versatility for both laboratory and production testing.

The machines can be equipped with all Matest load measuring systems, ensuring accurate, repeatable, and standardized compression tests. With robust construction and compliance with ASTM and international standards, the 3000 kN Compression Machines with Block Platens support quality control, structural safety, and operational efficiency in all concrete testing processes.
