Thomas Broadbent & Sons Ltd products

Offering several advantages over the more traditional beam centrifuges, Broadbent G-Max drum centrifuges are developed from the innovative design patented by Emeritus Professor Andrew Schofield FREng, FRS, of Cambridge University Schofield Centre. In addition, Broadbent G-Max has developed the modular centrifuge – the world’s first single-platform, multi-test environment incorporating an interchangeable beam and drum centrifuge. We designed this revolutionary centrifuge specifically to provide a complete test environment for civil engineering researchers. Visit our Special Projects section for more details.

Broadbent G-Max beam centrifuges are installed in research facilities around the world. Our well-proven and highly respected beam centrifuge range is available in six sizes, from the GT2/0.5 to the large GT150/3.0.

The high-G mineralogy table offers a platform to conduct high gravity, large payload tests in a safe laboratory environment. Primarily aimed at producing high gravity fields for mineralogy research to model deep earth, sub-surface melt processes, the centrifuge also offers a robust platform to accommodate small beam rotors and drum ring channels for lower-G geotechnical modelling.

Broadbent G-Max offers a variety of ancillary equipment to support your centrifuges, including model preparation equipment, payload containers, test actuators and sensing systems.
