Rocklabs Standalone RSD
The Rocklabs Standalone RSD (Rotating Sample Divider) is designed to split out a representative portion of the sample with a proportion of 2-50%.
The Rocklabs Standalone RSD features sealed bearings and has two splitting options available. The first is a single split & remainder. The second option is a duplicate split & remainder, with a bypass bin available for option two.
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. A classic study conducted at Bradford University demonstrated that a rotating sample divider provided the best results.
Benefits:
– Robust design
– Easy operation
– Dust extraction port
– Two splitting options
– Sealed bearings

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. | |
