When Particle Size Matters
Whether you are looking for test sieves, sieve shakers or related accessories, ENDECOTTS offer the
world's finest particle analysis equipment designed and produced in London. Endecotts sieves not
only look good, they offer unique qualities that make them extremely precise and accurate whilst
offering excellent handling, nesting and strength.
No matter whether it is a standard test sieve or a sieve engineered for a particular application,
e.g. diamonds, coffee or agricultural products, you will find the same meticulous quality in design
and manufacture. Endecotts sieves are supplied in a complete range of aperture sizes, diameter sizes,
depths, choice of materials and certified degrees of inspection to meet virtually every requirement.

Manufactured to exceptional
standards of quality
Each Endecotts sieve is individually made under the most stringent quality control procedures using only the
finest materials. They are manufactured in accordance with ISO 9001:2008. Certificate of Registration FM 24761 is
available upon request or on Endecotts website.
The wire cloth is checked at every stage of manufacture with optical measuring instruments. The final inspection is
a precision measurement of apertures, and sieve frame dimensions. Once we are satisfied that the sieve meets our
exacting standards we issue an Endecotts Certificate of Compliance.
The company has an exceptional reputation as the manufacturer of the world’s finest test sieves. Skill, experience and
modern production techniques help to ensure the finished product not only looks and feels right from the moment you
open the box, but provides accuracy second to none.
