The machine consists of a hollow cylinder mounted horizontally on a sturdy frame on ball bearings, with an opening that can be closed with a dust tight cover to facilitate charging and discharging the drum with the material under test. The drum is rotated by an electric motor through a heavy reduction gear at a speed of 30-33 R.P.M., and a detachable shelf, which extends throughout the inside length of the drum, catches the abrasive charge and does not allow it to fall on the cover. A revolution counter is fitted to the frame, and a tray is supplied for collection of the material at the end of the test. It is suitable for operation on 440 V, 3 Phase, 50 cycles, A.C. Supply, and is complete with an Abrasive Charge consisting of a set of Twelve hardened steel balls, approximately 48mm dia.
