SIEVE SHAKER

Description

Sieve shaker work on the principle of vibration, agitation, or gyration. In order to effectively use sieve shakers for screening, data on particle size distribution, sieve load, sieve shaking method, particle shape and size, and ratio of sieve open area to total area must be considered. Sieving can be affected by powder properties like friability and cohesion. In sieving, the sample is either horizontally or vertically moved, depending on the technology. The particles and sieve are moved around during this movement. Depending on the size of the particles, a particle flows through the sieve mesh or stays on the mesh surface. The likelihood of a particle passing through the mesh openings depends on factors such as particle size, particle orientation, and the number of times the particle comes in contact with the mesh openings. So, the sieving is influenced by the sieving time and the sieve movement.
