1.6cuft Hopper Lab Split-O-Matic with 8 Chutes, 45 Degrees

1.6cuft Hopper Laboratory Split-O-Matic Splitter with 8 Chutes, 45 Degrees

The Gilson SM-4L Series Laboratory Split-O-Matic® Splitter is designed for efficiently reducing large samples of granular materials into smaller, precise fractions with speed and accuracy. Ideal for laboratories and industrial settings, this splitter is particularly useful for applications involving aggregates, sand, gravel, ores, coal, coke, or any free-flowing granular materials up to 1in (25mm) in top particle size. Its robust design and advanced features ensure reliable performance for sample preparation tasks that meet stringent industry standards.

This splitter boasts a hopper capacity of 1.6ft³ (45L), allowing it to handle bulk materials with ease. With a single pass, the material is split into smaller, manageable fractions, significantly speeding up the preparation of specimens for testing. The three-stage design allows users to select fractions of 1/2, 1/4, or 1/8 of the bulk sample, offering unmatched versatility. A user-friendly selection lever sets internal fraction positions, directing the chosen material into the sample pan while diverting the remainder into the reject pan.

Exclusive Features for Precision and Efficiency:

• Three-Stage Splitting: The innovative three-stage system allows users to adjust sample fractions easily, ensuring accurate and consistent results tailored to specific testing requirements.
• V-Bottom Chute Design: The splitters are equipped with precision V-bottom chutes that align material flow for highly accurate division. The 8 chutes per stage with a chute width of 2in (51mm) and a 45-degree slope ensure even distribution.
• Gate-Release Hopper: The hopper features a gate-release mechanism for precise control of sample dividing. This ensures uniform distribution of material over the chutes, reducing variability in sample preparation.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built from welded steel with a durable painted and baked finish, the SM-4L is designed to withstand rigorous laboratory environments. Its sturdy design ensures long-term reliability.
• User-Friendly Design: Front panel doors latch securely for superior dust control, yet open wide for hassle-free cleaning and maintenance. Sample pans included with the unit are size-matched for optimal performance.
• Flexible Installation: The bottom flange allows for both anchored installation and freestanding lab use, fitting seamlessly into any workspace.

Applications: This splitter is perfectly suited for a variety of industries, including construction, mining, geology, and materials testing, where precise and consistent sample preparation is critical. It meets ASTM and AASHTO standards, making it a reliable choice for compliance testing.
