Gilson Quadri-Splitter

Gilson Quadri-Splitter

The Gilson Quadri-Splitter is engineered for superior sample preparation, efficiently dividing free-flowing granular materials into four highly representative fractions in a single pass. This advanced design significantly minimizes sample loss and handling, ensuring greater accuracy and reproducibility in laboratory analyses. Its fully enclosed construction is a critical feature, not only preventing moisture loss that can compromise sample integrity but also drastically reducing dust and controlling airborne respirable quartz, silica, or crystalline particles, thereby enhancing personnel safety by maintaining a cleaner breathing zone.

This robust unit delivers four precise, representative samples, accommodating a total sample capacity of up to 1.6ft³ (45.3L). Gilson's innovative tilt-feeding mechanism ensures a clean and secure material transfer; it expertly lifts and rotates the removable feed pan, sealing it to the hopper opening as the material is dumped. This prevents spillage and further contains dust. The individual sample pans are also designed to seal securely to the splitter body, yet they slide out effortlessly for convenient collection and processing. For easy maintenance and thorough inspection, hinged access doors are located on both sides of the body, allowing direct visibility and cleaning of the chute sections.

At its core, the Quadri-Splitter features three chute decks, each equipped with fourteen 1in (25.4mm) wide chutes set at an optimal 60° slope. This configuration ensures exceptionally smooth sample flow, preventing blockages and material hang-ups, making it an ideal choice for the precise splitting of coal, coke, and various mineral aggregates. A single pass through the Quadri-Splitter yields four perfectly representative 1/4 fractions of the initial sample. For applications requiring finer subdivision, these fractions can be split further: two passes result in a 1/16th split, and three passes achieve a 1/64th split, each delivering a set of four representative samples for detailed laboratory testing. The splitter's contact parts, including all chutes and pans, are constructed from high-quality stainless steel for corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning. Other structural components are made from heavy gauge galvanized steel, spot-welded, riveted, and painted to guarantee long life and exceptional durability in demanding environments.
