Sand Equivalent Shaker, with safety cover

The Motorized Sand Equivalent Shaker provides consistent mechanical agitation of prepared aggregate samples during Sand Equivalent testing. The positive DC drive controls speed and stroke more consistently than hand agitation, while the integrated digital timer and interlocked safety cover make the unit particularly useful for laboratories that perform Sand Equivalent testing routinely.

Key Features

• Designed for Sand Equivalent testing of fine aggregates
• Mechanical agitation improves repeatability and reduces operator variability
• Positive DC drive provides controlled speed and stroke
• 8" / 203mm throw at 175 cycles per minute
• Digital timer provides fixed 45-second and 10-minute cycles
• Hinged safety cover with viewing windows
• Safety cover must be closed for the shaker to operate
• 1/8hp sealed DC gear motor
• Secure cylinder holder maintains the specimen cylinder during agitation

Included Items

Motorized Sand Equivalent Shaker with integrated digital timer and hinged safety cover. Sand Equivalent graduated test cylinders are purchased separately.

Typical Applications

Sand Equivalent testing, evaluation of clay-like fines in fine aggregate, aggregate QC/QA, asphalt aggregate testing, concrete aggregate testing, DOT laboratories, quarry laboratories, commercial testing laboratories, and routine aggregate cleanliness testing.

Lab Manager's Tip

The main advantage of a motorized shaker is repeatability. Removing differences in technician shaking technique is particularly helpful when multiple operators perform the test or when Sand Equivalent results are used for acceptance testing. Keep the cylinder holder and drive mechanism clean so the specified stroke is maintained.
