1.6ft³ Laboratory Split-O-Matic Splitter with 1.6ft³ (45L) hopper capacity is optimal for large samples that must be quickly and accurately reduced. With a single pass, this unit processes bulk samples of granular materials into small fractions for efficient preparation of test specimens. This Splitter is well-suited for aggregates, sand, gravel, ores, coal, coke, or other free-flowing granular materials up to 0.25in (6mm) topsize.

The exclusive three-stage design allows the user to select sample fractions of 1/2, 1/4, or 1/8 of the bulk sample. A selection lever sets internal sample fraction positions, directing selected fraction to the sample pan and the balance to the reject pan. V-bottom chutes precisely align material flow for more accurate divisions. Sample hoppers have a gate-release mechanism for greater control of sample dividing and even distribution of material over the chutes. The SM-6L and SM-6LC have 36 chutes per stage and a chute bar width of 0.5in (13mm). Chutes are sloped at 45° or 60°.

Laboratory Splitter has heavy, welded-steel construction with a painted and baked finish. Front panel doors latch shut for superior dust control and open wide for easy cleaning. Sample pans are included and are size-matched to hopper capacity. Bottom flange is suitable for anchored or freestanding lab use.

Features:

  • Optimal for quickly and accurately reducing large samples
  • Efficiently prepares test samples in a single pass
  • Gate-release hopper offers greater accuracy and control of sample dividing
  • Three-stage design delivers testing versatility with user-selectable sample fractions
  • V-bottom chutes precisely align material flow for more accurate divisions
  • Compliant with ASTM and AASHTO standards

Q: Will this work with fan-forced heaters?

I'm very satisfied with this product. It was exactly what I wanted in my travel trailer, for a lot more accurate heating. Now I can pinpoint it to exactly the temperature I want, instead of guessing, sliding the conventional thermostat back and forth. Will for sure save on propane too! Nice back light when adjusting the temperature, making it easy to see even at night.
