Gilson SS-8R Tapping Sieve Shaker

This Gilson SS-8R sieve shaker is in excellent near-new condition and includes the following stainless steel sieves:

- 2 x Gilson 230 mesh sieve

- 2 x Gilson 270 mesh sieve

- 2 x Gilson 325 mesh sieve

- 2 x Gilson 400 mesh sieve

- 2 x Gilson 450 mesh sieve

- 2 x Gilson bottom pan

- 2 x Gilson top cover 

- 2 x Gilson GAA-16 double-height acrylic spacer - Spacers are required when using six or fewer 8in test sieves, or to view sieving action of particles. Spacer height is 4.6 in (117mm), with an approximate visible open space in a sieve stack of 3.3in (84mm).

The Gilson SS-8R tapping sieve shaker provides sharpest repeatable separations in minimum time over the broadest possible range of particle sizes, shapes, and densities. This model can accommodate 10 full-height sieves or 20 half-height 8" diameter sieves.

Automatic 2-way Tapping: Automatically reverses "up" and "down" taps. "Up" taps mix, reorient, and redistribute sample so that new particles and new orientations are periodically presented to sieve surfaces. "Down" taps assist passing of near-size materials to the next sieve and clear the mesh for new particles.

Perfect Circular Rotation of the Sieve Stack: Particles are forced to roll in all directions relative to the linear pattern of woven sieve mesh. Circular rotation is far superior to simple, inefficient back-and-forth actions that create "dead spots" where sample accumulates preventing complete seperation. Results obtained with other sieving motions may vary depending on positioning of individual sieve mesh pattern relative to direction of motion.

Clamping: Exclusive 2-way sieve clamping system secures the integral cover assembly to two stainless steel guide rods by clamp knobs. The sieve stack is pressured vertically by the center knob. When loosened, the cover assembly slides on guide rods for easy repositioning to any sieve stack height.

No Mounting Required: An internal counterbalance allows the unit to remain stationary without a permanent mounting. The unit may easily be moved around the lab or to another site. Adjustable footpads level the unit.

Timer Control: Precision built-in digital LED timer repeats exactly by push-button start and resets automatically to any selected test time up to 59 min., 59 sec. A 5-sec. audible alarm sounds at zero, and another feature allows pauses without loss of test time. Precision digital LED reset timer repeats test times at the touch of a button.
