Sieve shakers

Sieve Shakers

Hand sieving of a large number of samples can often be tedious

and sometimes lead to inaccuracy of results.
The following machines provide a wide choice of options for the
busy laboratory.

ELE Sieve Shaker

The unique action of the ELE sieve shaker imparts a circular
motion to the material being sieved so that it makes a slow
progression over the surface of the sieve. At the same time, a rapid
vertical movement agitates the sample which assists in
clearing the apertures.

A variable time switch, with a range of 10 to 60 minutes, is

incorporated to set the duration of test.The shaker stops
automatically at the end of set duration.

As standard the shaker accepts up to twelve 200 mm or 8 inch, full

height, diameter sieves and lid and receiver, or up to six 300 mm or
12 inch diameter sieves and lid and receiver.

EL80-0352/01 ELE Sieve Shaker

EL80-0380/01 Sieve Shaker Octagon 2000

Octagon Sieve Shaker

The Octagon is powered by an electromagnetic drive that has no
rotating parts to wear making it maintenance free and extremely
quiet in operation.

The vibratory action produced by the power unit moves the

sample over the sieve in a unique way producing faster more
efficient sieving, while the rapid vertical movements also help keep
the apertures from blinding.

The Octagon is ideal for laboratory or on site use. It is robust,

compact and sufficiently lightweight to be portable.The digital
display incorporated in the unit makes the setting of the
microprocessor controlled functions very straightforward.
