Gilson Sieve Shaker, 8in with Tapping (SS-8R)

Gilson Sieve Shaker, 8in with Tapping (SS-8R)

The 8in Gilson Tapping Sieve Shaker can hold up to twenty 8in (203mm) half-height test sieves with pan or ten full-height sieves with pan. The recommended particle size range is 1in (25mm) to No.635 (20µm).

The sieving action of the 8in Gilson Tapping Sieve Shaker is based on research to get sharp, repeatable, and accurate separations fast over a broad range of particle sizes and material types. The exclusive action comes from circular rotation of the sieve stack and vertical two-way tapping at 48 taps per minute. Circular rotation is better than back-and-forth motion which creates “dead spots” and prevents complete separation. The mechanical design is reliable and consistent. Shaker agitation, whether circular or vibratory, helps material separation by reorienting particles and getting them through the sieve mesh, so you get consistent and repeatable results. Particles roll in all directions relative to the pattern of woven sieve mesh. “Up” taps mix, reorient and redistribute particles to present new orientations to sieve surfaces. “Down” taps help near-size particles clear the mesh. These high-capacity shakers can hold as many as twenty sieves, depending on model and sieve frame dimensions.

The built-in digital controller has push-button start and resets test time to zero automatically up to 99 minutes, 59 seconds. Pause function allows you to stop and start the cycle with no loss of test time and a 5-second audible alarm at end of cycle. Easy to program and large 1/2in (13mm) bright LED display.

New EZ-Clamp system is easy to operate. Sieve cover slides up and down the clamp rods with the push of a button. Once in position, just release and twist to secure the lid on the sieve stack. Once the test is complete, just raise enough to remove the stack. Clamps stay in place for the next test with no readjustment. The shaker is capable of handling a wider range of materials, ensuring effective separation across diverse material sizes and types.

Internal counterbalance system allows for portability without permanent mounting. Unit can be moved with adjustable footpads. 8in Gilson Tapping Sieve Shaker  is painted steel and 1/3hp electric motors. Sieves and accessories sold separately.

Sieve Shakers for Particle Sizing

Sieve shakers automate the agitation of particles for particle separation and sizing distribution to meet quality control and quality assurance requirements for many materials. The benefits of shakers are consistency, accuracy and repeatable separations, saving a lot of testing time compared to manual sieve shaking methods. For bulk coarse aggregate separation, sieve shakers are the solution. By automating the process, these shakers ensure each test is done under the same conditions, so you get more reliable and repeatable results. This is especially important when dealing with multiple materials, from fine powders to larger aggregates, as it eliminates the variability of manual methods.

Particle Sizing Analysis Techniques

Particle sizing analysis is a crucial process in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food processing, and construction. It involves determining the size distribution of particles in a sample, which is essential for quality control, product development, and research. Several techniques are used for particle sizing analysis, each with its unique advantages:

1. Sieve Analysis: This widely used method involves passing a sample through a series of sieves with different mesh sizes. The sieves are shaken, and the particles that pass through each sieve are collected and weighed to determine the size distribution. 8in Gilson Tapping Sieve Shaker automate this process, ensuring consistency and accuracy in particle separation.

2. Laser Diffraction: This method uses a laser to measure the size of particles in a sample. It is commonly used for particles in the range of 0.1-1000 microns, providing precise and reliable results.

3. Dynamic Light Scattering: This technique measures the size of particles by analyzing the way they scatter light. It is particularly useful for particles in the range of 1-1000 nanometers, offering detailed insights into particle size distribution.

4. Image Analysis: This method involves analyzing images of particles to determine their size and shape. It is commonly used for particles in the range of 1-1000 microns, providing a visual representation of particle distribution.

8in Gilson Tapping Sieve Shaker is an essential tool in particle sizing analysis, automating the agitation of particles for particle separation and sizing distribution. They meet quality control and quality assurance requirements for a range of materials, including bulk coarse aggregate separation. By using sieve shakers, industries can achieve accurate and repeatable results, ensuring the quality and consistency of their products.
