TS-1 Aggregate Screening Machine without Screens

The Gilson TS-1 Testing Screen is a heavy-duty aggregate screening machine designed for efficient gradation testing of large coarse-aggregate samples. Its quick-acting hydraulic clamping system secures five screen trays plus a dustpan, while vertical vibration provides aggressive separation for high-volume aggregate laboratories. Gilson describes the TS-1 as its most popular Testing Screen for routine coarse aggregate particle-size testing.

Key Features

• Commonly used for ASTM C136 and AASHTO T 27 aggregate gradation testing
• Particle-size range of 4" through No. 4 / 101–4.75mm
• Five screen trays plus one dustpan
• Maximum sample volume of 1ft³ / 28.3L
• Quick-acting hydraulic tray-clamping system
• Vertical vibration provides aggressive coarse-aggregate separation
• Top-mounted enclosed drive mechanism
• 1/2hp motor with overload protection
• Designed for steady, high-volume particle-size testing
• Replaceable screen cloth available in a wide range of opening sizes
• Optional digital laboratory timer can improve repeatability
• Designed to be securely bolted to a concrete or rigid floor system

Included Items

Gilson TS-1 Testing Screen with hydraulic clamping system, enclosed drive mechanism, motor, and operating controls. Screen trays and dustpan are purchased separately so the laboratory can configure the machine for its required sieve series.

Lab Manager's Tip

The TS-1 is a workhorse for high-volume aggregate laboratories. Unlike the Porta-Screen, it should be securely bolted to a rigid floor. If your standard gradation routinely requires six sieve fractions plus the pan, consider the TS-3, which adds one additional screen-tray position while retaining the hydraulic clamping system.

Typical Applications

Coarse aggregate gradation, asphalt aggregate testing, concrete aggregate testing, quarry QC, crusher-product testing, DOT aggregate acceptance, commercial construction-materials laboratories, ready-mix laboratories, and high-volume aggregate particle-size analysis.
