Its sturdy construction and compact size allow it to sit securely on a standard laboratory bench, making it suitable for a wide range of professional and educational environments.
Ease of Use and MaintenanceFeaturing a semi-automatic motorized drive and analog timer, the shaker requires minimal manual intervention, enhancing operational efficiency. The spring-loaded sample clamp and non-slip feet ensure both safety and convenience. Overload protection adds another layer of safety, keeping downtime to a minimum and prolonging the equipments lifespan.
FAQs of SAND EQUIVALENT MECHANICAL SHAKER - Motorized:
Q: How does the Sand Equivalent Mechanical Shaker operate?
A: The shaker utilizes an eccentric cam drive mechanism that delivers 175 2 strokes per minute to agitate the sample. The process is timed using an analog timer (up to 15 minutes), and the test is conducted with a spring-loaded clamp holding the standard sample tube in place.
Q: What is the main application of this mechanical shaker?
A: It is primarily used to determine the sand equivalent value in soil and aggregate samples, following ASTM D2419 and AASHTO T176 standards. This measurement helps assess the relative proportion of fine dust versus sand in materials used for construction and roadworks.
Q: When should I use this equipment during soil testing?
A: The mechanical shaker should be used during laboratory analysis whenever sand equivalent values are required for soils or aggregates, such as in quality control or compliance testing for infrastructure projects.
Q: Where can this shaker be installed?
A: The machines compact design and table-top mounting make it suitable for standard laboratory benches in geotechnical, civil engineering, or educational laboratories.
Q: What is the procedure for conducting a test with this machine?
A: Place your prepared sample into the standard tube and secure it using the spring-loaded clamp. Set the desired time on the analog timer, start the shaker, and allow it to operate. After completion, evaluate the sand equivalent value using the test result.
Q: What benefits does this model offer over manual methods?
A: The motorized, semi-automatic operation ensures consistent agitation and precise timing, which minimizes user error, improves repeatability, and saves time compared to hand-shaking samples.
Q: Is the shaker suitable for all working environments?
A: Yes, as long as the laboratory meets its operating conditionstemperature between 5C to 40C and humidity up to 90% RH, non-condensingthe shaker performs reliably and quietly, with noise levels below 70 dB.
