DL10-DM30

Tecnical Features

It is a medium dynamic penetrometer – ISSMFE 1988 classification with high data acquisition capacity in all conditions of use.

It is equipped with a hydraulic extractor as standard and allows sampling using a ø 38mm auger.

The controls are positioned on the base of the column leaving your hands free, for easier registration of the numbers.

Motor unit: Dual function hydraulic unit, space-saving, light and powerful; equipped with internal combustion engine, 3.5 Hp power.

Driving system: Hydraulic hammer weighing 10 or 30 kg with a stroke frequency of 50-40 strokes / min, with treated steel base, equipped with housing for driving rods (Ø 22 mm). Optional drop height of 20 or 50cm

Guide column and hydraulic extractor: Guide structure for the execution of the penetrometric test, for the automatic raising of the impact weight, for the hydraulic extraction of the rods, or of the core drill. Extraction capacity about 1500kg

Dimensions and weights

Module module total weight (transportable) 125 kg:

• column: 45 kg
• 3.5Hp petrol engine control unit: 32 kg
• batting trolley (without mass): 21 kg
• impact weight: 10 / 30kg

Total weight of the Truk version (self-propelled with wheels): about 218 kg:

Total weight of the tracked version Grillo Dumper 406, about 250kg:

Max inclination: 35% on the side, 45% on the front

ATTENTION: weights and measures may vary with changes and improvements to the project.

Before purchasing, go to the company with your own means of transport to check the transportability of the penetrometer!

Considerations of the geologist

• Shipping: The instrument consists of a motor unit and a driving system and a 10-piece battery of rods.
  All the equipment must be transported by a minimum of 2 people, the weight is not excessive but in any case it is advisable to reduce the distance between the means of transport and the survey points to the minimum possible.
• Use:
  Being an instrument with 10cm feed, it allows a high resolution in the acquisition of the shots during the execution of the test, the impact weight of 10 / 30Kg allows to obtain some shots even in extremely soft ground (particularly important for us geologists).
  The small footprint allows the instrument to be transported even in confined spaces in cellars and gardens with the recommendation to keep the workplace ventilated.
• Lithotypes indicated for this instrument:
  Clays, silt, loose or medium-thickened sands, low-consistency stone materials
• Maximum investigable depth:10-15m. In addition to the energy released in the fall of the mallet, it loses much of its strength in overcoming the friction along the walls of the hole.
  The risk is that of overestimating the consistencies of the deeper layers.

Locomotion systems

Truk system

Self-propelled trolley with 2 front driving wheels and mobile rear wheels, powered by the petrol control unit. Allows the transport of the structure and the rods around 16. The control unit can be detached and transported inside buildings for testing. Weight about 60kg

Excavator

Fast and stable rubber track locomotion system. With 3 forward and rear gears it allows you to reach any position. 6.5Hp engine, 9litres / minute pump The column cannot be detached Weight about 200kg

Hand trolley

It allows you to move the column and the control unit using a single operator. It is possible to transport both the column and the control unit. In fairly flat terrain and with moderate roughness

Optional supplies

Soil survey group

Core destruction sampling kit with ø38mm augers, length 1000mm. Maximum sampling depth 5 / 6m Endowment: - 2 mumite augers of tip 1000mm - 1 male-female connecting screw 1000 mm - 3 smooth polunghe 1000mm

Static group

For punctual static checks. The system allows to perform some peak static readings in particularly soft levels.

Optional equipment

Sampler for undisturbed

PVC die-cut sampler with a diameter of ø40mm. It allows to sample soft cohesive levels at least up to 3 / 4m.

Tips and terminals
