Beer-Bottle Shaking: Check Load by Speed and Rack Layers
Check stroke, speed and layers in the same load table instead of relying on the overall maximum load.
View resource →Product overview
The SM 30 B control beer bottle shaker uses horizontal reciprocating motion for gushing tests; dedicated bottle racks and the 50 mm stroke configuration require separate selection.
Key features
- The application page lists speed up to 240 rpm in 5 rpm steps; the 50 mm stroke is associated with optional assembly 0052 216.
- 560 × 400 mm platform, maximum load 30 kg, touch display and programmable/continuous operation.
- One-, two- or three-storey dedicated racks are available; each tier holds six 0.33 L or 0.5 L beer bottles horizontally.
- USB 2.0, RS-232, control interface, safety package and defined stop are listed as optional.
