| Richards of Hull Archaeological Sample Flotation & Separation Wet Bench Sinks for Geographic/Geological Sample Washup |
| To separate lighter items, paricularly charcoal, from soil samples, by passing water under varying pressure through the soil sample supported on a grid and held by a mesh; the soil sample is eventually washed leaving gravel etc., which is subsequently sorted for artefacts, bone etc. This picture illustrates the even upwards flow from the manifold below |
| Lighter material is passed over the wier in suspension and caught on the second sieve; meshes for retaining the washed soil are changed after each operation and are easily available |
| Wet Bench and Sink Units built in Polypropylene - this material is robust and resiliant and lends itself to fabrication of customised sink and worktop configurations. We also supply "Simmons" epoxy sinks/drainers/worktops |
