Many consonants

We recently had a discussion on the number of vowels in a row... I was
wondering how many consonants can be put in a row in any conlang or
natlang...

For Dutch, I found 9 consonants in a row the longest combination:

"zachtstschreidend"

/zAxtstsxrEid@nt/

Meaning: "most carefully pacing"

Anyone have any other examples?
