What is the Function of a Sieve Shaker?

Visitors to our web pages often arrive with the question, “What is the Function of a Sieve Shaker?

The simple answer is “to expose the particles in a sample to all the openings in each sieve in a stack”. A sieve stack is the result of fitting each sieve to be used in a given particle size analysis into the one above. The sieve with the largest mesh holes is at the top with each subsequent sieve of a tighter mesh size than the one above it... read more

How Do You Analyze Small, Micron-Sized Particles?

Sieve testing, as I have stated many times, is the Cinderella of particle size analysis because it delivers more value than expected from something that’s so easy to use and relatively inexpensive.

However, the problem with standard sieving techniques using wire mesh sieves is that they begin to exhibit accuracy problems in the lower micron sizes... read more.

 

What's So Special About Picking a Sieve Shaker?

If you take Sieve Shakers for granted, you may be surprised to know that the selection of the right shaker can have a profound effect on your sieving results.

Who's Concerned About Sieve Shakers?

The primary purpose of a sieve shaker is to provide motion to a sample in a test sieve.

An effective sieve shaker creates a motion that presents all the particles to all of the sieve openings and assists particles in passing through. This requires both rotary and vertical motion... read more.

Sieves and Sieve Calibration

Certify or Calibrate Sieves - Should You Do It?

The relative value of a sieve certification process vs a sieve calibration has perplexed me for a long time.

Eventually it dawned on me that the entire certification process is an insurance policy of sorts. Firstly, it confirms that the mesh is within the ASTM or ISO spec -- even though the spec allows for significant variation. Secondly, it meets the traceability demands of ISO mandates... read more.
