Rocklabs Benchtop RSD
The Rocklabs Benchtop RSD (Rotating Sample Divider) is designed to be placed on a work bench and can be used in conjunction with Benchtop Ring Mill.
The Rocklabs Benchtop RSD features sealed bearings and takes a representative split of any proportion from 2-50%. Get a representative split of sample and remainder.
Taking a representative split is not as simple as many people believe. Rolling on a mat, multiple grabs or riffle splitting do not produce accurate results.
Benefits:

– Easy operation
– Sealed bearings
– Two representative splits

Comments on taking a representative split | Taking a representative split from a large sample is not as simple as many people believe. Rolling on a mat, multiple grabs or riffle splitting do not produce accurate results. A classic study* conducted at Bradford University demonstrated that a rotating sample divider provided the best results. | |
