Holmes Enclosed Sample Splitters

Holmes Enclosed Sample Splitters are suggested for samples of fine, dusty powders or where moisture retention is important. Holmes splitters have 60° chute slopes, feed guide, and enclosure, which is preferred for coal and coke applications to meet ASTM D2013 and D346.

An enameled steel enclosure reduces dust to help confine and control the airborne respirable quartz, silica, or crystalline particles. Two sample pans are included; extras are suggested for pouring to feed guide for repetitive splits.

Small Enclosed FX Series Splitters have twenty-four chutes and have stainless steel riffle chute, feed guide, and sample pans. SP-1017FX and SP-1018FX models have a built-in feed guide to introduce the sample evenly across chutes through an open vertical slot. Model SP-1015FX has no feed guide, and the sample is poured directly into the chutes.
