CZGY GY-FZQ-06S Full-Temperature Inverting Shaker

Overview

The CZGY GY-FZQ-06S Full-Temperature Inverting Shaker is an engineered laboratory instrument designed specifically for standardized leaching toxicity testing of solid waste under controlled thermal and mechanical conditions. It operates on the principle of horizontal 360° rotational inversion—ensuring uniform, low-shear agitation of large-volume samples (up to 2 L per vessel) while maintaining precise temperature regulation across the full operational range of 5–60 °C. This design replicates the dynamic percolation and contact mechanics described in regulatory leaching protocols, where physical motion simulates natural infiltration processes that mobilize contaminants from heterogeneous matrices. As a designated apparatus in both Chinese Environmental Protection Standards HJ/T 299–2007 (Sulfuric-Nitric Acid Leaching Method) and HJ/T 300–2007 (Acetic Acid Buffer Leaching Method), and referenced in U.S. EPA Method 1311 (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure), the GY-FZQ-06S meets foundational requirements for regulatory compliance in hazardous waste characterization workflows.

Key Features

• Microprocessor-controlled dual-mode operation: programmable alternating inversion (2 min forward / 5 sec pause / 2 min reverse) or continuous unidirectional rotation—configurable via intuitive keypad interface
• Precise thermal management with ±0.5 °C temperature stability across the full 5–60 °C range; integrated over-temperature alarm with audible and visual alert
• Adjustable speed control from 5 to 100 rpm (±1 rpm resolution), factory-defaulted at 30 rpm per regulatory method specifications
• Robust mechanical architecture: stainless steel chamber interior resists chemical corrosion from aggressive leachants (e.g., HNO₃/H₂SO₄ mixtures, acetic acid buffers); powder-coated cold-rolled steel exterior ensures structural integrity and long-term lab durability
• Modular bottle tray system supporting six standard 2 L polyethylene (PE) containers; optional expansion to 4, 10, or 12 positions available upon request
• Zero-headspace accessory kit compatible—enabling closed-system extraction for volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis per EPA Method 5035 or ASTM D5207
• Timer resolution down to 1 minute, with extended range up to 9999 minutes (166.6 hours), supporting multi-day leaching experiments without manual intervention

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The GY-FZQ-06S accommodates standard EPA-compliant 2 L PE leaching bottles and is validated for use with aqueous acidic, buffered, and chelating leachants used in TCLP, SPLP, and synthetic precipitation leaching procedures. Its sealed 360° inversion minimizes headspace disturbance and ensures consistent solid–liquid contact throughout the extraction cycle—critical for reproducible metal speciation and organic contaminant release kinetics. The unit complies with ISO/IEC 17025 documentation expectations for equipment qualification and is routinely deployed in laboratories undergoing GLP audits, CNAS accreditation (China), and EPA Contract Lab Program (CLP) verification. While not certified to IEC 61000-6-3 or UL 61010-1 out-of-the-box, its electrical and thermal safety architecture aligns with general-purpose laboratory equipment risk assessments per ANSI Z240.1.1.

Software & Data Management

The GY-FZQ-06S employs embedded firmware with non-volatile memory to retain user-defined protocols—including temperature setpoint, rotation speed, inversion sequence, and timer duration—across power cycles. Though it lacks Ethernet or USB connectivity, all operational parameters are logged locally with timestamped start/stop events accessible via front-panel display history. For labs requiring electronic recordkeeping compliant with 21 CFR Part 11, integration with external environmental monitoring systems (e.g., DeltaTrak, DicksonOne) is supported through analog 4–20 mA or RS-485 output modules (optional add-on). Audit trail functionality—including operator ID tagging and parameter change logs—is achievable when paired with validated LIMS platforms such as LabWare LIMS or Thermo Fisher SampleManager.

Applications

• Hazardous waste classification per GB 5085.3–2007 and RCRA 40 CFR Part 261
• Leachate generation for subsequent ICP-MS, IC, GC-MS, or UV-Vis analysis
• Soil and sediment toxicity screening in environmental forensics and remediation planning
• Pharmaceutical waste stability assessment under simulated landfill conditions
• Research on contaminant bioaccessibility in municipal solid waste, electronic waste, and industrial sludge
• Method development and validation for alternative leaching protocols (e.g., pH-dependent release, redox-controlled extractions)

FAQ

Is the GY-FZQ-06S compliant with U.S. EPA Method 1311?
Yes—the mechanical inversion profile, temperature control accuracy, and bottle compatibility meet the performance criteria outlined in EPA SW-846 Method 1311 for Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure.
Can this shaker be used for TCLP testing with 1 L bottles?
While optimized for 2 L PE containers, the tray geometry permits secure mounting of 1 L bottles using optional adapter inserts; validation per EPA guidance is recommended prior to routine use.
Does the unit support GLP-compliant data archiving?
Native data export is limited to front-panel display review; however, third-party data loggers or LIMS-integrated controllers can capture real-time temperature and runtime metrics with full audit trail capability.
What maintenance is required for long-term reliability?
Routine cleaning of the stainless steel chamber and periodic inspection of drive belt tension and motor coupling alignment are advised every 6 months under continuous operation; no lubrication of the inversion mechanism is required.
Is zero-headspace configuration available as a factory-installed option?
Yes—the zero-headspace fixture kit (including gas-tight clamps and septum-sealed caps) is offered as a configurable accessory at time of order; installation requires no tools and integrates seamlessly with the standard bottle tray.
