Particle Size Metrology & PSD

Particle Size Distribution (PSD) is arguably the most critical physical parameter in material science. From the compressive strength of concrete to the dissolution rate of pharmaceutical tablets, proper sieving methodology dictates final product quality and regulatory compliance.

Aperture Accuracy (ASTM/ISO)

Compliance Standards

Not all meshes are created equal. Professional test sieves are optically verified to meet exact tolerances defined by ASTM E11 or ISO 3310-1. Even microscopic deviations in wire thickness can skew a gradation curve, causing thousands of dollars in rejected material.

Mechanical vs. Vibro Shaking

Drive Technology

Heavy aggregates require the violent tapping of mechanical shakers to force particles through the mesh. Conversely, fine powders (like flour or pharmaceuticals) require the high-frequency, 3D throwing motion of electromagnetic vibro-shakers to prevent mesh blinding.

The Cohesive Powder Problem

Air Jet Sieving

When particles drop below 50 microns, electrostatic forces and moisture cause them to agglomerate (clump together), making traditional shaking useless. Air jet sieving uses a rotating vacuum wand to pull individual particles through the mesh, resolving the issue.

Wet Washing Mechanics

Silt & Clay Removal

When analyzing soil or dirty aggregates, fine clay particles act like glue, sticking to larger stones and blinding standard sieves. Wet sieving washes the sample over a 75-micron sieve, flushing out the fines before the remaining aggregate is dried and mechanically sieved.

Sieve Selection & Shaker Matrix

Material Type Typical Size Range Recommended Sieve Type Optimal Shaker Technology
Coarse Aggregates / Rocks 4.75mm to 100mm Perforated Plate / Heavy Wire Motorized Mechanical with Tapping
Sand & Fine Soils 75µm to 4.75mm Stainless Steel Woven Wire Electromagnetic Vibro Shaker
Cement / Fine Powders 20µm to 100µm High-Precision Woven Wire Air Jet Sieve Shaker
Dirty/Clay-Heavy Soils < 75µm removal Deep Frame Wash Sieves Manual Wet Washing Station
Active Pharmaceuticals Varies (High Purity) Crevice-Free Stainless Steel Electromagnetic (Low Noise)
