After the samples obtained with our other Corers on fine sediment, we now also reach coarser sediments with the Jumbo VibroCorer.
This 8.2 tons instrument with a 6 meter tube for depths up to 250 meters.

The need for accurate and undisturbed core samples has led to the development of this new coring method with controlled penetration speed, in order to obtain sediment samples with more accurate outcomes.

A newly-designed Carma^® Piston Corer has been conceived to retrieve cores of large diameter up to 30 m long.

SW-104 is a light corer, 100 Kg maximum, designed with the purpose of recovering cores of clay and bottom water sample. It is ideally suited to marine and lacustrine environments to studies of pollution.

In recent months Carmacoring has created a new controlled handling system, fast and safe for long corers of up to 30 meters.

This is an instrument of great strength and easy to use, suitable for coring a seafloor characterised by sediment with different lithological compositions, even compact or soft cemented.

This is an instrument intended for the recovery of superficial samples of the seabed which are then held in a metal box. The sample collected is characterized by a low rate of disturbance to the sedimentary structure and includes the bottom water sample.

The must common grab is the Van Veen, consisting of two contrasting valves, centrally hinged and that lean on the seafloor in an open position. Another kind of grab is the Shipek model, which collects the sample in a semicylindric box, kept open until impact with the seabed.

This instrument has been utilised since the seventies to tear up and collect rock samples, concretion and calcrete from slope outcroppings.
