Jolting Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/46) is a motor-driven compaction machine used to compact cement mortar test prisms in a three-compartment mould in cement and civil engineering laboratories. Materials-testing labs choose it because a cam turning at 60 rev/min lifts and drops the table, and a micro-switch stroke counter stops the machine automatically after 60 jolts. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM and engineering lab equipment manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Table and arms | Rectangular table rigidly connected by two support arms to a spindle |
| Spindle distance | 800 mm horizontal distance from the centre of the table |

| Mould | Steel mould with base plate, three compartments, each 40 × 40 × 160 mm internal |
| Other listed accessory | Apparatus for de-moulding the specimen |
| Optional | Digital preset counter (extra-cost option) |
| Power supply | 230 V, single phase, AC |
| Product code | SLE/CE/46 |
| Manufacturer | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM |
| Country of origin | India (made in Ambala, Haryana) |
Freshly mixed cement mortar is placed in the three-compartment 40 × 40 × 160 mm mould with the hopper fitted on top, and the jolting apparatus compacts it by repeatedly lifting the table and letting it fall onto the stop. Because the cam speed and jolt count are fixed by the machine, every set of prisms receives the same compaction effort, which removes the operator-to-operator variation of hand tamping. The compacted prisms are then cured and tested for flexural and compressive strength.
It is a core item of lab equipment for technical institutes that teach cement and concrete technology, as well as for plant and project quality-control labs. Before each session, clamp the mould and hopper firmly, keep the lug and the rounded stop free of mortar so each fall ends cleanly, and confirm that the counter halts the table at 60 jolts. Use the de-moulding apparatus to release the prisms without chipping their edges.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, and the Jolting Apparatus is one of the cement-testing machines the company builds as the original equipment manufacturer. It is fabricated and assembled at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, so buyers deal with the maker rather than a trading house.
Colleges, testing laboratories, dealers and importers are supplied factory-direct, and questions about replacement moulds or stroke-counter spares go straight to the people who build the machine — just ask us. More background is on the ScienceLab company profile.

What is included with the Jolting Apparatus?
The Jolting Apparatus (SLE/CE/46) is supplied complete with a mould and hopper. The listed mould is a steel mould with base plate and three compartments, each 40 × 40 × 160 mm internally; an apparatus for de-moulding the specimen is also listed, so mention it in your enquiry.
How many jolts does the Jolting Apparatus apply?
The Jolting Apparatus applies 60 jolts per cycle. Its cam turns at 60 rev/min, and a stroke counter fitted with a micro-switch stops the machine automatically after the 60th jolt, so each mould receives the same compaction. A digital preset counter can be added as an optional extra.
What power supply does the Jolting Apparatus need?
The Jolting Apparatus runs on a 230 V, single-phase AC supply, with the motor driving the cam through a gearbox, V-belt and pulleys. If your laboratory or export destination uses a different supply, state it when you request a quotation.
Who manufactures the Jolting Apparatus?
The Jolting Apparatus is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM, at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Buyers deal directly with the manufacturer for quotations, repeat orders and replacement moulds.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Jolting Apparatus?
Calibration-certificate availability for the Jolting Apparatus should be discussed with us before ordering. Tell us which checks your laboratory needs, such as jolt count or cam speed, through the contact page and we will confirm what can be provided.
Can the Jolting Apparatus be supplied for export?
Yes. The Jolting Apparatus is supplied to laboratories in India and international markets. For an export enquiry, give the quantity, the destination and the electrical supply at site, and the quotation will come directly from the manufacturer.
For a quotation on the Jolting Apparatus (SLE/CE/46), send your quantity and any optional items through the contact page or add the product to the enquiry cart. Quotes come direct from the manufacturer.
