Description
____________________________________
The Endecotts EFL 2000 is a vibrating shaker that is used to carry out
sieve tests in conjunction with sieve stacks for particle sizing of various
material samples.
It is based on a rotary motor with an eccentric cam drive with special
non-metallic laminated springs that are set at a calculated angle to
provide a horizontal twist, as well as a vertical movement to carry out
efficient sieve tests.
The EFL 2000 range are fixed amplitude shakers.
An incremental timer provides a range of pre-set
and repeatable sieve test run times.
The EFL is fully EMC and LVD
compliant and complies with all
relevant European directives.

Assembly
The machine should be positioned on a level rigid and robust floor
suitable for the operation of the sieve shaker, (placing the shaker on a
level surface ensures the even distribution of the sample over the sieves
and ensures machine stability).
Take Care as the shaker weighs 83 Kg
