Sieve Shaker

A sieve shaker is a laboratory instrument used for particle size analysis and separation of particles based on their size. It consists of a shaking or oscillating platform that holds a stack of sieves, screens with openings of different sizes. The sieve shaker imparts an up-and-down or circular motion to the sieves, causing particles to move and separate based on their size. The analysis of particle size distribution is crucial in various industries for quality control, research, and development purposes.

Applications:

Pharmaceuticals: Used to ensure uniformity in drug powders and granules.
Agriculture: Analyzing soil particle size for fertility assessment and crop management.
Food Processing: Determining particle size in flour, grains, and food additives.
Construction Materials: Assessing the size distribution of aggregates, sand, and cement.
Chemical Industry: Analyzing particle size in various chemical processes.
Mining and Minerals: Characterizing the size of mineral ores and processing materials.
Environmental Sciences: Analyzing sediments and pollutants in water and air.
Quality Control in Manufacturing: Ensuring consistent particle size in various products.
Research and Development: Investigating the properties of powders and granular materials.
