Product Description
Description
CONTROLS’ motorized Sand Equivalent Shaker is a specialized piece of equipment used in the materials testing industry to determine the sand equivalent value of fine aggregates.
The sand equivalent value is an important parameter used to evaluate the cleanliness and clay content of fine aggregates, such as natural sands and crushed rock fines. It provides an indication of the aggregate’s potential to contribute to undesirable effects, such as increased water demand or decreased workability of concrete mixtures.
Both models conform to New Zealand Test Standard NZS 4407.3.6.

Benefits of a Motorized Sand Equivalent Shaker:
- Safe: In the version 47-T0056/C, conforming to CE directive, the machine stops automatically when the safety cover is opened.
- Increased Efficiency: The motorized Sand Equivalent Shaker automates the shaking process, significantly reducing the time and effort required for testing. Compared to manual methods, the motorized shaker offers consistent and repeatable results in a shorter period.
- Operator Fatigue Reduction: The motorized Sand Equivalent Shaker eliminates the need for technicians to manually shake the cylinders for an extended duration. This feature helps prevent operator fatigue, improving accuracy and reducing the risk of human error. Technicians can focus on other critical tasks while the shaker completes the shaking process.
- Precise and Reliable Results: The motorized shaker ensures consistent and uniform shaking, leading to accurate and reliable sand equivalent value measurements. This precision enables engineers to make informed decisions about the suitability of fine aggregates for construction purposes, contributing to better quality control and adherence to industry standards.
- User-Friendly Design: Motorized Sand Equivalent Shakers are designed with ease of use in mind. They often incorporate intuitive controls, adjustable shaking speed, and clear indicators for accurate measurements. Such user-friendly features make the equipment accessible to technicians with varying levels of experience.
