GeotechModel G-Max -Drum Centrifuges

SHARE

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.
