 Mid-Point Sieves

We use sieves to meet the granulation specifications of our customers. We sieve the sugar as it goes into the silo as fresh production.  We sieve the sugar as it comes out of the silos toward classifiers. We sieve the sugar as it leaves the classifiers and is packaged into bags, bulk trucks and bulk rail cars.

Midpoint sieves have a tight enough calibration to meet our needs which are considerably less tolerant than the ASTM E-11 specification. We also use the midpoint sieves to calibrate less expensive sieves which are used in harsh production environments.

I have found that Endecott sieves are less expensive to purchase because even the sieves which are not certified midpoints will almost always pass our criteria where other brands will not. All the Endecotts sieves have a metal ring around the inside of the sieve next to the screen so that there is less solder exposed to the sugar, and where sugar can become trapped in the solder lead that is next to the screen in most sieves as they crack with age, it will not in an Endecott sieve.

We purchased a complete set of Mid point Endecotts for the sole purpose of using them as our new master set of sieves.  We will be checking all future new generation sieves against these by using master sands. The reason I am using the terminology new generation is because believe it or not, the old generation sieves do not match the new. The new retain much more material when run side by side.  The change by ASTM E11 to match ISO has caused us a great deal of pain.  All old generation sieves will have to be replaced.

We have done many comparisons between different manufacturers of sieves, and have found that the Endecotts appears to be more consistent when matching a master sieve to a production lab-working sieve.
