• Two-way tapping.
• Perfect circular rotation for sharp separations.
• No permanent mounting required.
• Precision electronic controller.
• Capacities of up to twenty sieves.
The sieving action of Gilson SS-8R and SS-12R Sieve Shakers is based on research to obtain sharp, repeatable separations quickly over a broad range of particle sizes and material types. The exclusive Gilson action results from perfect circular rotation of the sieve stack and vertical two-way tapping at 48 taps per minute. Circular rotation is superior to inefficient back-and-forth actions that create “dead spots” and prevent complete separation. Particles roll in all directions relative to the pattern of woven sieve mesh. “Up” taps mix, reorient, and redistribute particles to present new orientations to sieve surfaces. “Down” taps assist passing of near-size particles to clear the mesh. These high-capacity shakers can hold as many as twenty sieves, depending on model and sieve frames.
The built-in precision digital controller features push-button start and resets desired test time automatically for exact repeatability up to 99 minutes, 59 seconds. A pause function allows the cycle to be suspended and resumed with no loss of test time, and a five-second audible alarm sounds at completion of the interval. The controller is simple to program and the large, bright 1/2in (12.6mm) LED display is easy to read.
The integral sieve cover is positioned on two stainless steel guide rods and quickly adjusts to any sieve stack height. The clamping system secures the cover in place and adds vertical pressure from a center knob to prevent movement of the sieve stack. An internal counterbalance system allows the unit to remain stationary during operation without permanent mounting. The unit may easily be moved an again, using the adjustable footpads for leveling. Gilson Sieve Shakers are housed in sturdy painted steel cases and powered by 1/3hp electric motors. Sieves and accessories are ordered separately.
SS-8R Gilson 8in Sieve Shaker can hold up to twenty 8in (203mm) half-height test sieves with pan or ten full-height sieves with pan. The recommended particle size range is 1in (25mm) to No.635 (20¼m). Characteristics of individual materials may alter the useful particle size range. Overall Dimensions: 22.5x12.5x39.5in (572x312x1,003mm), WxDxH. Est. Ship Wt.: 135lb (61kg).
SS-12R Gilson 12in Sieve Shaker holds up to thirteen half-height, ten intermediate height or six full-height 12in (305mm) sieves with pan. An adapter is included, allowing use of 8in sieves in the SS-12R. 12in sieves have over twice the effective sieving area as 8in sieves. Recommended sieve size range is 2in (50mm) to No.635 (20¼m). Characteristics of individual materials may alter the useful particle size range. Overall Dimensions: 22.5x12.5x39.5in (572x312x1,003mm), WxDxH. Est. Ship Wt.: 162lb (74kg).
SSA-805R Gilson Sound Enclosure is designed for SS-8R and SS-12R Sieve Shakers, but can be used with other lab equipment. Sturdy painted steel case with full-width hinged doors is lined with 1in (25.4mm) of sound attenuating foam. Outside Dimensions: 31x19x46in (800x500x1,200mm), WxDxH. Est. Ship Wt.: 75lb (34kg).
SSA-801 Clean-N-Stor accessory is a handy, time-saving device for emptying, cleaning and weighing functions associated with sieving operations. This unit is designed to attach to the top of the SS-8R case. Inverting an 8in sieve on the stainless steel funnel allows quick emptying and cleaning of contents into the stainless steel scoop. A sieve stack can also be stored on top of the funnel. The scoop and a soft-bristle cleaning brush are included. Est. Ship Wt.: 10lb (5kg).
SSA-802 Clean-N-Stor accessory is a stand-alone version of the SSA-801. Inverting an 8in sieve on the stainless steel funnel allows quick emptying and cleaning of contents into the stainless steel scoop. The scoop and soft-bristle cleaning brush are included. It may be positioned directly over an electronic balance, so sieve fractions can be weighed as the sieve is being cleaned. Est. Ship Wt.: 10lb (5kg).
OBA-15R Clean-N-Stor is an adjustable-height Clean-N-Stor version designed to fit over taller balances. Stainless steel scoop and soft-bristle brush are included. Est. Ship Wt.: 13lb (6kg).
SSA-810 3in Platform Adapter is the proper size and weight to allow 3in (76.2mm) sieves to be used in SS-8R or SS-12R Sieve Shakers. (The adapter included with the SS-12R must be used in conjunction with this accessory.) Est. Ship Wt.: 10lb (5kg).
SSA-811 6in Platform Adapter is the proper size and weight to allow 6in (152.4mm) sieves to be used in SS-8R or SS-12R Sieve Shakers. (The adapter included with the SS-12R must be used in conjunction with this accessory.) Est. Ship Wt.: 8lb (4kg).
SSA-812 10in Platform Adapter allows the use of 10in (254mm) sieves with the SS-12R only. Est. Ship Wt.: 5lb (2kg).
