fractional separator

A single unit can perform a separation of 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 depending on the format selected by the lever.

Production Split-O-Matic Splitters accurately divide large volumes of bulk sample material through three or five stages in a single pass. Custom modifications are available for installation in production or pilot-plant facilities. Production Split-O-Matics have chute widths from 0.5–12in (13–305mm) and three or five stages of riffle chutes. Three-stage models feature selectable final sample fractions of ½, ¼, or 1/8, using adjustable fraction control gates to regulate material flow. Five-stage units yield a single 1/32 fraction size and are non-adjustable. Standard V-bottom chutes are sloped at 45° and precisely align material flow for more accurate divisions. Rugged, heavy steel construction throughout assures long service life.

Custom design options include models with an alternate number of dividing stages, 60° slopes for low-density materials, fabrication with all stainless-steel contact parts, custom-sized material hoppers, fixtures for installations integrated with existing equipment, and special collection pans. Pneumatic operation for hopper and fraction gates is standard for SM-1A and SM-2A, our two largest models. It is also a convenient custom option on models with chute widths of 4in (102mm) or less.

Material Hoppers with capacities from 1.6–12ft^³ (45–340L) and sample pans are sold separately for design flexibility. 

The lever operates the hopper. The front panels are opened for inspection and cleaning. The size of the trays is designed to adjust the volume of the store. Sampling is done in three series of falls (a higher number of falls is also available on other models to meet the needs of a separation 1/32).

3L on the model, a portion of the fractional sampling goes to the front of the truck and the rest goes to the rear thereof. All units are provided with trays. Falls are a 45 ° angle of 60 ° but drops are also available as options. The device is made of painted steel.
