POKER VIBRATOR
Hand-Held Concrete Poker Vibrator Ø22mm | Internal Specimen Compaction Needle for EN 12390-2 & ASTM C31
Hand-Held Concrete Poker Vibrator Ø22mm | Internal Specimen Compaction Needle for EN 12390-2 & ASTM C31
Poker Vibrator
Product Code: MSI 2046
The Poker Vibrator is an advanced electrical compaction instrument designed for the high-efficiency internal consolidation of fresh concrete test specimens. Fully compliant with EN 12390–2, ASTM C31, ASTM C192, and AASHTO T23 / T126, this hand-held unit offers a highly reliable, motorized alternative to traditional manual tamping bars. It is particularly valuable in commercial testing environments where a large volume of daily cube, beam, and cylinder samples must be compacted quickly and uniformly.
The system features a streamlined Ø 22 mm needle tip powered by a heavy-duty electric motor that operates on a standard 220–240 V, 50–60 Hz electrical line. By delivering high-frequency internal mechanical waves directly into the concrete matrix, it rapidly drives entrapped air pocket errors to the surface, creating a perfectly consolidated, void-free specimen.

Operation and Technical Safety Manual
🔬 Working Principle
Fresh concrete is placed inside a testing mold in standardized layers. The operator holds the poker vibrator vertically and lowers the Ø 22 mm needle tip directly into the core matrix without touching the bottom or sides of the mold walls.
Once activated via the 220-240V supply, the internal eccentric weight generates localized high-frequency oscillations. These vibrations fluidize the surrounding mortar paste, causing it to fill the voids around coarse aggregate pieces while forcing trapped air bubbles to rise out of the mix. The needle is then drawn out slowly to ensure no voids are left behind in the concrete block.
💡 Advantages
Eliminates arm fatigue by replacing manual structural tamping with automated mechanical energy.
Drastically accelerates preparation cycles when processing large batches of molds simultaneously.
Prevents honeycomb structural voids, ensuring true, representative compressive and flexural strength readings.
Highly flexible configurations can be custom tailored to suit unique deep-section cylinder or beam mold dimensions.
