The partial samples reach the collecting pans alternately via a system of pipes (In the Vario 1G through a funnel). The surplus sample material flows through the middle and can be collected in a large collecting pan.
Installation and commissioning Installation and commissioning The chapter Installation and commissioning is intended for skilled personnel only. Positioning of sample divider Unpack the sample divider carefully (refer to chapter 4.4) and place it horizontally. Ensure a working height of approximately 60-65 cm, depending on the size of the operating personnel. A correct horizontal positioning of the machine guarantees an even division of the grains.
Operation Operation Sample divider is allowed to be operated by qualified and trained persons only. Control elements Figure 6: Control elements – Model 2H Pos. Designation ON/OFF operating switch Adjustment lever division ratio 7.1.1 ON/OFF operating switch The ON/OFF operating switch starts and ends the dividing process. 7.1.2 Adjustment lever division ratio With this lever, the division ratio is adjusted based on the yellow scale.
Adjustment lever Setting 1:4 In addition, and in particular for the Vario 1G and Vario 2H sample dividers, stainless steel cover plates can be supplied by means of which the division ratio can be further reduced. Separate installation instructions are supplied, for the article number refer to chapter 11.
1:8 to 1:24 1:16 to 1:48 On the Vario 1G, if the maximum division ratio is 1:11 (1G8), this can be increased by covering four sample chambers, to give 1:22 (1G8), this can be increased by covering six sample chambers, to give 1:44 (1G8), this can be increased by covering seven sample chambers, to give 1:88 (1G1).
Repeat the process with a new sample. When dividing maize, it will be necessary to use an agitator. You can obtain this from Pfeuffer GmbH, see chapter 11. Make sure that no objects drop into the infeed funnel! NOTE These could damage the sample divider when the dividing process starts.
