Slake Reactivity Apparatus & Lime Testing Equipment
Archit Associates supplies slake reactivity apparatus and lime testing equipment to steel plants, lime producers, and testing laboratories across India — from single digital reactivity units to complete lime testing lab setups, with specification-matched quotations and pan-India delivery.
Slake Reactivity Apparatus (Quicklime Reactivity Testing)
The slake reactivity apparatus determines the reactivity of quicklime by recording the temperature rise of the lime–water slurry as slaking proceeds. Our digital models feature an insulated slaking vessel, motorised stirrer, and digital temperature indicator that captures the slaking curve — giving your lab a repeatable, operator-independent reactivity result on every incoming lime batch.
Typical configuration: insulated reaction vessel, stirrer with fixed speed drive, digital temperature display with peak-hold, and accessories (measuring cylinder, sample scoop). Units are supplied configured to the test method your process specifies — Indian Standards for building limes, ASTM C110 practice, or EN 459-2 style reactivity (t-value) testing.
Lime Testing Equipment We Supply
Beyond reactivity, we equip complete lime quality-control labs: lime testing machines for available lime determination, residue sieves and sieve shakers, laboratory ovens, digital weighing balances, pH meters, and general lab utility equipment. If your lab also tests cement, soil, or aggregates, see our full civil material testing equipment range or the lab equipment buyer's guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a slake reactivity apparatus measure?
A slake reactivity apparatus measures how vigorously quicklime (calcium oxide) reacts with water — the temperature rise of the lime-water slurry is recorded against time as the lime slakes. The reactivity result tells steel plants, chemical processors, and lime producers whether a batch of quicklime meets their process requirement. Digital models record the temperature curve automatically.
Which industries need lime reactivity testing?
Steel and sponge iron plants (lime is a key flux), sugar mills, paper mills, chemical manufacturers, water treatment plants, and lime producers themselves. Any operation buying quicklime in bulk tests reactivity on incoming batches, because low-reactivity lime disrupts the process it feeds.
What standards apply to lime testing in India?
Lime testing methods are covered by Indian Standards for building limes and by international practices such as ASTM C110 (physical testing of quicklime, hydrated lime, and limestone) and EN 459-2. Confirm the standard specified by your process or customer before selecting equipment — we supply apparatus configured to the method you need to run.
Does Archit Associates supply slake reactivity apparatus across India?
Yes. We are a New Delhi-based supplier of laboratory testing equipment and supply slake reactivity apparatus, lime testing machines, and related lab instruments to plants and laboratories across India. Request a quotation on this website or contact us on WhatsApp for pricing and delivery time.
What is the price of a slake reactivity apparatus?
Price depends on configuration — digital temperature recording, vessel capacity, stirrer arrangement, and accessories. Rather than a generic list price, request a quote with your required test method and you will receive a specification-matched quotation, typically the same working day.
