For dispersing soil suspensions used in hydrometer method of testing subgrade soils, heavy-duty mixer operates at a speed above 10,000 RPM (no load). Includes stirring apparatus with stainless steel paddle and chrome-plated dispersion cup with set of permanent interior baffle. Rounded cup bottom prevents soil accumulation. Furnished with cord and plug.

ASEW-007.1 :- Spares : Brass cup with Baffle chromium plated

Seamless, symmetrical stem and bulb do not vary in diameter. One-piece ballast is secured to lower part of the body. Guaranteed calibration accuracy eliminates errors due to variable dilution. ASTM 152 H scale, graduated to read in grams per liter (g/L) of suspension and has a range of -5 to +60g/L in 1g/L divisions at 68°F (20°C). Total length: 11" (280mm). Complies with ASTM D422; AASHTO T88.

Graduated glass cylinder used in determining amount of soil in dispersed suspensions contains 1000ml at 20°C (68°F). Open end is fire-polished without pour out. Dimensions: 18" (457mm) x 2-1/2" OD (64mm). Base is 4-1/3" (107mm).

Sieve shaker, hand for 200 mm dia accepts 8 Sieves at a time while shaking.
This test method determines the particle size distribution of fine and coarse aggregates by sieving. Refer to ASTM C136. The sieve shaker consists basically of a cradle for holding the sieves, a power unit and a base. The cradle consists of a platform fastened to the lower ends of two vertical support rods. The upper ends of which are shock mounted to a horizontal support that are free to pivot about its mounting. A sieve holder, a retaining ring and nuts on the vertical support rods hold the top bar firmly against the nest of sieves

Sieve shaker electrically for 200 mm dia with Digital timer 0-99 min. Motorized Sieve Shaker :
To make the process of Sieving Easier and quicker, electrically operated mechanical Sieve Shakers are offered for dry sieving. The mechanical Sieve Shakers effect a more elaborate and standardized Sieving action to produce accurate results and eliminate personal errors involved in manual Sieving. On the basis of experience gained in the manufacture of these Sieve Shakers for more than 35 Years considerable improvement has been made in design & performance of these units. These Sieve Shakers are popularly used not only in soil laboratories but also in number of industries where sieving is required, such as for ores, refractory materials, minor aggregates, pigments, powdered coal, soap, cement, roofing material, plastic Moulding powders & pharmaceuticals. A Digital timer adjustable from 0-99 minutes is incorporated as an integral part of equipment.
The Sieve Shaker can carry upto 8 Sieves. It is driven by a 1/4 H.P. Motor The Sieve table is inclined from the vertical axis & the direction of inclination changes progressively in the clockwise direction. In the addition to the gyratory motion of the table, there is tapping motion as well. Operating on 220 V single phase AC.
