0.8cuft Hopper Lab Split-O-Matic with 18 Chutes, 45 Degrees

Gilson SM-6SL Laboratory Split-O-Matic® Splitter – 0.8ft³ Hopper with 18 Chutes at 45 Degrees

The Gilson SM-6SL Series Laboratory Split-O-Matic® Splitter is an advanced and highly efficient tool designed for quickly and accurately reducing large bulk samples of granular materials. With a hopper capacity of 0.8ft³ (23L), this splitter is ideal for applications requiring precise sample preparation for testing in industries such as construction, mining, and materials science. Its robust design, combined with innovative features, ensures reliable performance while maintaining compliance with key ASTM and AASHTO standards.

This splitter processes materials such as aggregates, sand, gravel, ores, coal, coke, and other free-flowing granular substances with particle sizes up to 1/4in (6mm). With a single pass, the unit reduces bulk samples into smaller, consistent fractions, significantly improving efficiency in sample preparation.

The 0.8 cu ft Hopper Lab Split-O-Matic offers precise sample dividing for accurate lab results. For larger capacity testing, explore our 1.6 cu ft Split-O-Matic Grain Splitter.

Enhanced Design for Unmatched Performance

The Split-O-Matic’s exclusive three-stage design allows for user-selectable sample fractions of 1/2, 1/4, or 1/8 of the bulk sample, ensuring flexibility and versatility for a variety of testing protocols. A convenient selection lever sets internal sample fraction positions, directing the required fraction to the sample pan while diverting the remainder to the reject pan. This innovative process guarantees accuracy and repeatability for reliable test results.

V-bottom chutes precisely align material flow for uniform and accurate divisions, while the hopper’s gate-release mechanism provides greater control over sample dividing and ensures even distribution across all chutes. The splitter features 18 chutes per stage, each with a width of 1/2in (13mm) and a 45-degree slope for optimal material flow.

Built for Durability and Ease of Use

Constructed with heavy-duty welded steel and finished with a durable baked enamel, the SM-6SL is built to withstand rigorous laboratory use. Its front-panel doors are equipped with secure latches for superior dust control and open wide to simplify cleaning and maintenance. The splitter can be anchored for stability or used freestanding, depending on your laboratory setup. Additionally, size-matched sample pans are included to streamline the sample collection process.
