SIEVE SHAKER ‘GYRATORY’ AZA0926

The Azalab AZA0926 Gyratory Sieve Shaker is a high-performance laboratory instrument designed for accurate, repeatable dry particle size analysis of granular and powdered materials. Utilizing a combined gyratory (orbital) motion with vertical tapping, the AZA0926 delivers superior separation efficiency compared to conventional vibratory-only sieve shakers.

This motion profile is particularly effective for materials that are fine, cohesive, electrostatically charged, irregular in shape, or prone to sieve blinding, making the AZA0926 an essential tool for quality control, research, and material characterization in civil engineering, cement, mining, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and chemical industries.

Description

Principle of Operation

The AZA0926 operates on a dual-motion mechanism:

  • Gyratory (Orbital) Motion
    The sieve stack moves in a horizontal circular path, allowing particles to roll freely over the sieve surface. This ensures continuous reorientation of particles and maximizes the probability of correct-size passage through the mesh.

  • Vertical Tapping Action
    Intermittent tapping dislodges particles trapped in sieve apertures due to shape, moisture films, or static forces, preventing blinding and ensuring complete separation.

This combination results in faster sieving, higher accuracy, and excellent repeatability, especially for difficult-to-sieve materials.

GRAIN SIZE ANALYSIS (PIPETTE METHOD) AZA0856

The AZA0856 Grain Size Analysis (Pipette Method) Apparatus from AZA Lab is a precision testing setup used for determining the distribution of fine soil particles such as silt and clay. It is widely used in geotechnical engineering, civil construction quality control, soil mechanics research, and academic laboratories, particularly where conventional sieve analysis is ineffective for particles finer than 75 microns. This apparatus is designed for the mechanical analysis of sub-sieve soil particles, expressing quantitatively the proportion by weight of various particle sizes present in a soil sample. The pipette method, based on sedimentation principles and Stokes’ Law, provides accurate and repeatable results for fine-grained soils. The system consists of a sliding vertical panel operated by a precision screw mechanism, allowing an Anderson pipette to be raised or lowered accurately. A sedimentation tube is held securely below the pipette using a laboratory clamp. The depth of immersion is measured using a millimeter-graduated scale mounted alongside the sliding panel. The apparatus is supplied complete with a 10 ml Anderson pipette, a 500 ml glass sedimentation tube, and test form pads, conforming to standard laboratory practices.

Principle of Liquid Limit Test (Casagrande Method)

The liquid limit is defined as the water content at which soil transitions from a plastic state to a liquid state. In practice, it is determined as the moisture content at which a standard groove cut in the soil sample closes over a length of 12.5 mm under 25 blows of the liquid limit apparatus.

The AZA0853 consists of a polished brass cup mounted on an adjustable bracket. The cup is repeatedly raised and dropped from a fixed height of 1 cm onto a hard rubber base by means of a manually operated cam mechanism.

SAND EQUIVALENT TEST SET AZA0859

The AZA0859 Sand Equivalent Test Set from AZA Lab is a standardized laboratory and field testing apparatus used to determine the relative proportion of sand versus clay-like or plastic fines in fine aggregates and granular soils. This test is critical in construction quality control where aggregate cleanliness directly affects the performance of asphalt pavements, concrete mixes, and base course layers. The test set conforms to ASTM D2419, IS 2720 (Part 37), and AASHTO T176, ensuring accurate, repeatable, and specification-compliant results. The Sand Equivalent Value (SEV) provides a simple numerical indication of aggregate quality by comparing the height of settled sand to the height of clay suspension after sedimentation.
Working Principle A prepared fine aggregate sample is placed in a graduated cylinder and mixed with a standard calcium chloride-based solution. After agitation and a controlled settling period, heavier sand particles settle at the bottom while lighter clay and silt particles remain in suspension. The Sand Equivalent Value (SEV) is calculated as: SEV = (Height of Sand / Height of Clay Suspension) × 100 Higher SEV values indicate cleaner aggregates with lower clay contamination, which are preferred for structural and pavement applications.
