Advanced Earthen Construction Technologies manufacturers the AECT Small Block Press at its factory in San Antonio, Texas and is the only company in the world that makes this Small Block Press for testing earth samples for CEB suitability. The Small Block Press tests earth samples over the same pressures and moisture ranges used by our full-size AECT CEB machines.
The Small Block Press operates over a pressure range of 1,000 to 6,000 PSI and produces a 2.5" x 3.5" x 1" earth block - a 1/4 scale size version of the typical 10" x 14" x 4" CEB produced by the AECT 3500 machine.
The AECT Small Block Press is simple to use and provides the user with very important information related to the block strength characteristics and block-making viability of earth samples both in the laboratory and in the field.
