Holmes Enclosed Sample Splitter, (14) 1.0in Chutes, Galvanized

The Holmes Enclosed Sample Splitter with 1-inch chutes is a robust and reliable solution for accurately dividing large samples of fine, dusty powders, or materials where maintaining moisture content is critical. This model is specifically engineered to meet the stringent requirements of various industry standards, making it an indispensable tool for quality control and material testing labs.

With a substantial hopper capacity of 1.4ft³ (39.6L), this splitter can handle sizable bulk samples efficiently. It features 14 fixed chutes, each precisely 1 inch (25.4mm) wide, ensuring that the sample is divided evenly into two representative portions with each pass. The chute slopes are set at a steep 60° angle, which, combined with a built-in feed guide, promotes consistent material flow and prevents sample hold-up, a feature particularly beneficial for coal and coke testing as per ASTM D2013 and D346.

A key feature of this splitter is its fully enclosed, enameled steel housing. This design significantly minimizes the loss of sample material and effectively controls the release of airborne respirable dust, such as crystalline silica or quartz. This is crucial for maintaining operator safety and ensuring a clean laboratory environment.

This specific model features galvanized steel contact surfaces, providing durability and corrosion resistance. The overall dimensions are 17 x 31 x 34in (432 x 787 x 863.6mm), offering a stationary yet manageable footprint for most labs. For enhanced mobility, an optional SPA-502 Dolly with casters can be fitted to the base.

Key Features:

• Accurate Division: 14 chutes at 1-inch width provide precise, repeatable sample splitting.
• Enclosed Design: Minimizes dust exposure and prevents sample loss, ideal for fine powders and safety compliance.
• Optimal for Coal & Coke: The 60° chute slopes and feed guide meet specific ASTM standards for these materials.
• Large Capacity: The 1.4ft³ hopper accommodates large bulk samples, reducing the need for preliminary splitting.
• Industry Compliance: Fully meets multiple ASTM and AASHTO standards for aggregate and mineral testing.
