Holmes SP-1015FX Enclosed Sample Splitter: Precision Subsampling for Fine Materials

The Holmes SP-1015FX Enclosed Sample Splitter is engineered for achieving highly representative subsamples from fine, dusty, or moisture-sensitive materials. This robust splitter features a substantial 0.24ft³ (6.8L) capacity and is equipped with 24 precision-machined 3/8in (9.5mm) stainless steel chutes, ensuring accurate and consistent material division.

Unlike models with built-in feed guides, the SP-1015FX is designed for direct pouring onto the chutes, allowing for controlled sample introduction. All contact parts are meticulously crafted from high-grade stainless steel, providing superior corrosion resistance, preventing sample contamination, and simplifying the cleaning process for diverse material applications.

A key advantage of the Holmes Enclosed Sample Splitter is its robust enameled steel enclosure. This critical feature serves multiple purposes: it significantly reduces the escape of airborne dust—protecting operators from respirable particles such as quartz, silica, or crystalline substances—and helps maintain the inherent moisture content of the sample by isolating it from ambient conditions. This makes it particularly ideal for materials where moisture retention is paramount for accurate analysis.

The splitter's chutes are set at an optimal 60° slope, promoting unimpeded material flow and minimizing blockages, even with very fine powders. This design principle, coupled with its enclosed nature, makes it highly preferred for critical applications like coal and coke analysis, ensuring compliance with rigorous standards such as ASTM D2013 and D346.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Representative Subsampling: Ensures precise division of bulk samples into smaller, statistically representative portions for accurate laboratory testing.
• Optimized for Challenging Materials: Ideal for fine, dusty powders, aggregates, ores, chemicals, and materials where moisture retention or dust control is critical.
• All Stainless Steel Contact Parts: Guarantees material integrity, prevents corrosion, and facilitates easy cleanup, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
• Enclosed Safety Design: Enameled steel enclosure minimizes airborne dust, safeguarding personnel and maintaining sample moisture content.
• Efficient Flow Chutes: 60° chute slopes promote smooth material passage, preventing clogs and ensuring even distribution.
• Direct Pour Method: The SP-1015FX's no-feed-guide design allows for direct and controlled pouring of samples onto the chutes.
• Standard Compliance: Meets essential industry standards including AASHTO T248, AASHTO T27, ASTM C136, ASTM C702, and ASTM D75, ensuring reliable and repeatable results.
