From rock sampling to validation: How Geofactory supports your geological projects on-site

At Geofactory, geological precision isn’t just a goal—it’s part of our identity. As a dedicated manufacturer of rock sampling equipment, we work every day to help geologists, engineers, and laboratories around the world handle the most demanding sampling tasks with accuracy and confidence. From core cutting and plugging to core preservation, each operation requires tailored tools—and that’s why we go far beyond simply delivering machines.

Our facility in Málaga, Spain, has become a collaborative platform where our clients are invited to test, validate, and train on the very solutions they plan to deploy in the field or in the lab. We welcome project managers, lab supervisors, field geologists, and technicians who wish to ensure that the equipment they receive is the best fit for their sampling program.

A Globally Connected Location for Technical Collaboration

Located in southern Spain, Málaga is an ideal meeting point for global clients. Its international airport offers direct connections to key regions including Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, making it easily accessible for mining and oil & gas professionals across continents. The city also benefits from a rich geological environment and a strong industrial infrastructure—an ideal backdrop for technical
collaboration. In addition to its strategic location, Málaga offers a welcoming climate and stunning Andalusian landscapes, providing visitors with a productive yet comfortable experience during their time at Geofactory.

Validating the Right Tools for Your Core Sampling Workflow

One of the most valuable services we offer is on-site project validation. Before any equipment is shipped, we invite our clients to test and fine￾tune their machine configuration in real conditions. Whether you are
working with our range of core saws such as the Mining Core Saw, Slabbing Saw 500, or Dual-Axis Saw or evaluating our plugging machines, fluid preservation pipes, or de-waxing tools, these sessions help ensure full compatibility with your operational needs.

Clients may bring their own drill core samples or simulate field-like conditions using samples prepared in
our workshop. This process enables precise adjustments in key parameters: diamond blade selection, cutting depth, feed speed, and lubrication system performance, among others.

All saw testing is conducted on high-density granite with a compressive strength of approximately 210 MPa. This material offers a reliable benchmark to test blade efficiency, machine stability, and cooling performance under high mechanical stress. It also provides a solid reference point when comparing field samples with different lithologies.

Remote Validation Options

For clients unable to travel, Geofactory offers remote validation sessions via video conference. Our facility is equipped with a multi-camera setup that allows clients to follow the cutting process live, observe machine behavior, and provide real-time technical feedback. This service maintains the same level of transparency and precision as an in-person visit without the need for travel.

Technical Training for Your Team

Understanding how to operate and maintain your equipment is essential for safe and efficient sampling. During on-site visits, we offer technical training programs tailored to the client’s equipment and use case. From rock cutting procedures to plugging techniques and sample preservation protocols, our team provides hands-on instruction to ensure your staff is confident and capable in the field or laboratory.
This direct exposure to the machines not only enhances productivity, but also minimizes the risk of errors and downtime during deployment.

From Testing to Trust

Our partners aren’t just end-users—they are active contributors to the development and success of
each solution. By opening our doors for testing, training, and validation, we ensure that every piece
of equipment is aligned with real geological challenges and field requirements. Whether the collaboration happens on-site in Málaga or remotely via live demonstration, the focus remains the same: delivering reliable tools through a process built on expertise, transparency, and shared precision—every step of the way.
