2.4cuft Hopper Lab Split-O-Matic with 12 Chutes, 45 Degrees

2.4cuft Hopper Lab Split-O-Matic with 12 Chutes, 45° Angle

The Gilson SM-4XL Series Laboratory Split-O-Matic® Splitter is a premium, high-capacity sample splitter designed for accurate and efficient reduction of large bulk samples in laboratory environments. With a 2.4ft³ (68L) hopper capacity, it is ideal for processing granular materials like aggregates, sand, gravel, ores, coal, coke, and other free-flowing materials up to 1in (25mm) topsize. This splitter ensures precision in dividing samples for testing, making it an essential tool for laboratories focused on quality control, material testing, and research.

This advanced splitter is equipped with a three-stage design, allowing the user to select sample fractions of 1/2, 1/4, or 1/8 of the bulk material. The selection lever easily directs the desired sample fraction into the sample pan, while the remaining material is sent to the reject pan. Its V-bottom chutes ensure precise material alignment and consistent divisions, while the gate-release mechanism on the hopper enhances control of sample distribution across the chutes.

The SM-4XL features 12 chutes per stage with a 45° slope and a 2in (51mm) chute width, ensuring efficient sample division in a single pass. Its durable, welded-steel construction with a baked enamel finish ensures reliable performance and long-term durability. The front panel doors are designed to latch securely for excellent dust control and open wide for easy cleaning and maintenance. It’s versatile enough for both anchored or freestanding lab setups and comes with sample pans that are perfectly matched to the hopper’s capacity.

This splitter meets key testing standards, including ASTM and AASHTO, making it compliant and reliable for laboratory use in industries such as construction, mining, and material production.
