START WITH YOUR TESTING GOAL
What do you need the sieve analysis to accomplish?
Start with the required result—not a model number. The sample, method, sieve diameter, and reporting requirements determine the right system.
Determine Particle Size Distribution
Measure the mass retained across defined fractions.
Meet a Testing Standard
Reproduce a controlled motion, time, amplitude, and procedure.
Separate or Recover Fractions
Generate clear coarse, intermediate, and fine fractions.
Choose a motion >
Develop a Sieving Method
Test the material and establish practical operating settings.
TYPICAL TECHNOLOGY ROUTES
Match material behavior to the sieving principal.
The final choice should be confirmed through application review or material testing, especially for cohesive powders, elongated particles, standards-sensitive methods, and large sample loads.
MOST VERSATILE
Vibratory Sieving
A controlled three-dimensional throwing motion repeatedly presents particles to the mesh openings.
- General laboratory and QC work
- Powders, granules, and coarse material
- Dry or wet sieving on selected models
View vibratory models >
SHAPE-SENSITIVE SAMPLES
Horizontal Sieving
A circular motion keeps particles on one plane and supports gentle, controlled classification.
- Elongated, flat, or needle-like particles
- Large sieve diameters
- Gentler sample movement
View horizontal models >
STANDARDS-SENSITIVE MOTION
Tap Sieving
Horizontal circular movement combined with vertical taps mechanizes traditional hand-sieving action.
- Methods that specify tapping
- Dense or difficult-to-orient particles
- Repeatable mechanical hand-sieving
View tap models >
FINE COHESIVE POWDERS
Air Jet Sieving
A rotating air jet disperses fine powder and continuously clears the sieve mesh during analysis.
- Fine or agglomerated powders
- Single-sieve analysis
- Advanced weighing and compliance options

Analyzer Selection Assistant Select your sample condition and primary measurement goal. The result is a preliminary method recommendation—not a substitute for a sample evaluation. For dry powders and granules where both size and shape matter, dynamic image analysis provides direct measurement of individual particles and strong sensitivity to oversize fractions. This is a preliminary recommendation. Final method and instrument selection should be confirmed with a representative sample evaluation.Find a practical starting point.

Dynamic Image Analysis — CAMSIZER
WORKING PRINCIPAL
How sieve shakers separate a sample.
A stack of test sieves is arranged with the largest openings at the top and progressively finer mesh below. Controlled motion redistributes the sample so particles repeatedly encounter the openings.
Place a representative, properly prepared sample on the upper sieve.
Set time, amplitude, speed, or pressure according to the instrument and method.
Smaller particles pass through while larger particles remain on the appropriate sieve.
Calculate the mass retained on each sieve to determine the particle-size distribution.
