End-Over-End Shaker for Soil Specific Gravity Testing

The End-Over-End Shaker is designed to determine the specific gravity of soils by continuously rotating two sample jars at a constant speed. Its end-over-end motion ensures thorough mixing of soil samples with testing liquids, improving test consistency, accuracy, and repeatability.

The unit accommodates two 1-litre glass jars secured with rubber bungs and rotates them at approximately 60 rpm, making it an ideal solution for routine geotechnical laboratory testing and soil specific gravity determination.
