Understanding Sieve Shakers
Sieve shakers are essential laboratory instruments used for the efficient and consistent separation of particles based on size. They facilitate the analysis of granular materials, powders, and other bulk substances by shaking a stack of sieves, which contain mesh screens of varying sizes. This process allows for the effective sorting of materials, ensuring that only particles within specified size ranges pass through to the lower sieves. Sieve shakers are commonly used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, mining, and construction for quality control, material analysis, and research purposes. Many models offer adjustable shaking amplitudes and durations, allowing for customisation based on the specific characteristics of the samples being analysed. By providing reliable and reproducible results, sieve shakers play a vital role in material characterisation and quality assurance processes.
