Trio Africa supplies cement testing equipment across Africa for the setting time, consistency and strength testing of cement used on site and in the production of semi-manufactured products, including the Vicatronic Vicat apparatus, automatic mortar mixers, a laboratory bituminous mixer, the Servo Plus Evolution machine and cement compression machines – see our dedicated Cement Compression Machine page and our wider Concrete Compression Machine Africa range for higher-capacity models.
By mixing with water, the cement becomes a paste with adhesive properties: for this reason, it is considered an hydraulic binder and properly defined as hydraulic cement. This paste is generally used as a binder with solid inert materials such as sand, gravel and small rocks to produce the mortar and to prepare different types of concrete (light, reinforced, pre-stressed concrete).
