Description
A description of the divider and its method of use is given in the Rules for Seed Testing issued by the International Seed Testing Association. The gross seed sample for division is placed in the hopper and it flows on to a shallow, dished spinner which distributes the seed centrifugally over a two-way dividing head. The divisions are channelled through two side outlets into suitable collecting bowls placed under the spouts.
The action is extremely fast enabling the operator to obtain samples and sub-samples in rapid succession until the required quantity is required. The unit consists of a stationary stainless steel hopper of approx. 4 litres capacity located immediately over a 102mm diameter spinner situated above a spiral fluted, cast bronze two way dividing head surrounded by an outer cover to which the two outlets are attached, all mounted on a powder coated base.
The spinner is driven at approx. 450rpm by a 50W geared motor unit housed in the base. The vertical spindle carrying the spinner extends beyond the spinner into the hopper throat. Mounted on top of the spindle is a hard, tufnol impeller which disturbs the seed and prevents blockages occurring in the hopper.
