Endecotts Particle Analysis
Sonic Sifter -Fast Accurate Separation Down to 5 micron
|
Features & Benefits
The Sonic Sifter is a precision instrument for the rapid separation of a wide variety of dry particles and powders in the fine micrometer range. It will successfully separate samples down to 5 µm in as little as one minute, sometimes less, with consistent repeatability. An important feature of the Sonic Sifter is that it causes very little attrition of the sample and virtually no screen wear. |
The sieving action, which can be varied for different densities and textures of material, is unique. A vertical column of air is made to oscillate through a sieve or set of sieves. The motion of the air alternately lifts the sample and then assists it through the sieve apertures. The oscillation amplitude is variable. A vertical mechanical pulse may also be applied to the sieves at regular intervals to break down any clustered particles and help eliminate any blinding of the apertures.
