Large Scale Instruments

This is a specialized class that is used to describe the small number of items of equipment that have unique functionality, or are comprised of many smaller units that themselves are significant items of inventory but could not be used separately.

Heid GA210 Gravity Separator

Inventory Classification
  • Large Scale Instruments
  • Controlled Environments
  • Sorting

The Cimbria Heid Gravity Separator is used for the separation of any kinds of kernels and granular products of almost identical size. The Gravity Separator is utilised when the limits of air-aspiration-systems as well as screening are reached. However, the Gravity Separator does not substitute those foregoing sorting steps, but it is an additional piece of equipment for separating more exactly according to the specific weight

The product processed by the gravity separator is separated into layers of different specific weight according to the “fluid bed” principle.

Norton Ladder Rainfall Simulator

Inventory Classification
  • Large Scale Instruments
  • Simulated Environments
  • Water

This simulator was designed and constructed based upon the principles of the Norton Ladder Type Rainfall Simulator. This simulator is the standard for research involving simulated rainfall. The interest in testing erosion control products and increased regulations involving storm water quality has created a need for accurate testing equipment. The ability to accurately simulate rainfall has grown in necessity as testing of such materials increases.

TB-500H Torch Booster

Inventory Classification
  • Large Scale Instruments
  • Controlled Environments
  • Combustion

A Torch Booster is designed to turn it on and get all the gas you need. When your torch is not lit the Torch Booster automatically goes into recirculation mode. It is designed to be left running for short periods when torches are not being used and does not require operator attention as torches are turned on and off.

Typical applications for the TB-500 Torch Booster include up to 16 standard flame cutting or brazing torches, up to 10 Messer ALFA torches.
