Cerib has a wide range of equipment for developing concrete mix designs:
- Gyratory compactor: for formulating concrete with low water content (dry-cast concrete)
- Concrete rheometer: for assessing rheological properties of concretes, mortars, and slurries as a fonction of temperature
- Mixers of different types (planetary, pan, whirl, conical, etc.): used as appropriate for the type of concrete and the volumes to be produced (from 5 to 100 litres)
- Large and small vibrating tables: for compacting concrete.
Other equipment is used for physical testing of concrete ingredients (aggregate, additions, cements, admixtures):
- LCL workability meter, Marsh cone: assessment of the slump of materials based on hydraulic binders
- Set testers (automatic or manual): for determining the setting time of products based on hydraulic binders
- Blaine apparatus: assessment of the fineness of cements and additions
- Methyl blue testing apparatus: for determining the cleanliness of sand
- Compaction meter: for determining the compaction of granular mixes
- Los Angeles – Microdeval testing apparatus: for assessing the hardness and strength (resistance to fragmentation) of rock
- Grain-size analysis screens: for determining the grading of aggregate
