TS-1 Gilson Testing Screens

The Gilson Testing Screen is ideal for particle size
determinations on large samples of aggregate,
slag, ores, and many other coarse materials.
Batch sizes up to one cubic foot (0.028m³) or
more can be processed into six fractions in as little
as three to five minutes, depending on material
type. Vibration and amplitude characteristics are
fixed at optimum for mineral aggregates in the
4in (101mm) to No.4 (4.75mm) size range, but
options and accessories are available to optimize
machine performance when testing finer samples
or special materials. The standard Testing Screen
can be used to process material all the way down
to No.200 (75µm) if less efficient separations are
acceptable.

Both Testing Screen models are similar in
design and have exactly the same performance
specifications. The only difference is in the
clamping mechanism used to secure the screen
trays during operation. The drive mechanism
is completely enclosed for added safety. The
powerful 1/2hp capacitor-type motor is operated
through a starting switch with built in overload
protection.

Gilson Testing Screens

are designed
to be mounted to a solid, rigid floor system.
Securing with anchor bolts to a concrete floor
is recommended. Dimensions for anchor bolt
placement are available upon request. Overall
Dimensions: 23x31x43in (584x787x1,092mm),
WxDxH.

Screen Trays and Dust Pans are purchased separately. Specify sizes
when ordering. The Dustpan may optionally be
placed on the bottom shelf of the unit, freeing up
a slot for an additional screen tray. Independently removable screen trays are shared by both the
Testing Screen and Test-Master® models and
are available in a wide range of opening sizes
with ASTM E 11, ISO 565 specification cloth or
punched steel plate. Screen cloth is replaceable,
insuring long life and inexpensive maintenance of
trays. Each tray features a generous 14.75×22.75in
(375x578mm), 2.33ft² (0.22m²) clear screen
area.
Optional Dustpan configurations can be ordered
for increased capacity, reduced dust output, or
dispensing of fines directly into outside bag or
container. Other accessories to facilitate sample
handling, dust and noise control and separation
performance are listed separately.

TS-1 Gilson Testing Screen


uses a quick-acting
hydraulic pump system to clamp the screen
trays in place. Trays are quickly released using
the same handle. This more efficient model is
recommended for labs with a steady workload
of particle size testing.

TS-2 Gilson Testing Screen


secures the
screen trays with manually operated screwtype
clamping handles. This model is more
economical, but slightly more labor-intensive for
continuous use. TSA-155 or TSA-159 Hydraulic
Clamping Conversion Kits are available to
convert existing TS-2 models to hydraulic
clamping TS-1 units.
