Sand sieve shaker machine

The sand sieve shaker machine is standard testing equipment used for particle size analysis, grading, and impurity separation of granular materials including sand, aggregate, gravel, and ore. By utilizing multi-layer standard test sieves and precise vibration mechanisms, it delivers accurate particle size distribution data compliant with international testing standards (ASTM E11, ISO 3310-1).

What is a Sand Sieve Shaker Machine?

A sand sieve shaker machine is an indispensable laboratory testing device used for particle size analysis of sand and gravel aggregates. It typically consists of a vertical vibration drive system, a base with built-in damping springs, and a stack of standard test sieves with decreasing mesh sizes from top to bottom.

For construction sand and aggregate testing, the typical screening particle range covers 0.075mm to 100mm, including fine sand, medium sand, coarse sand, and crushed gravel. The equipment ensures seamless compliance with international standards such as ASTM E11, ISO 3310-1, and GB/T 6003.

We provide sand sieve shakers compatible with screen diameters of 200mm, 300mm, and 400mm. The 300mm and 400mm models are especially preferred in civil engineering laboratories due to their larger sample capacity and faster sieving efficiency.

What Types of Sand Sieve Shakers Are Available?

Depending on material characteristics and particle size requirements, DAHAN offers four distinct types of sand sieve shakers:

• Slap Test Sieve Shaker: Features a mechanical percussion mechanism that combines vertical tapping with horizontal rotation. It effectively prevents screen blinding and simulates standard manual sieving, making it ideal for sand with tight particle distributions.
• Top-Impact Sieve Shaker: Uses a top cam drive mechanism to generate high-amplitude vertical motion. Designed specifically for sand or aggregate samples with high moisture content or mild particle adhesion.
• Electromagnetic / Magnetic Levitation Sieve Shaker: Utilizes electromagnetic force to generate 3,000–5,000 3D vibrations per minute without friction. Excellent for ultra-fine sand and micro-powder separation.
• Ultrasonic Test Sieve Shaker: Integrates a high-frequency ultrasonic wave with traditional mechanical vibration to eliminate electrostatic attraction and surface tension, enabling anti-clogging sieving down to fine mesh levels.

Key Advantages of DAHAN Sand Sieve Shakers

• Multi-Layer Grading: Stacks 1 to 8 sieve layers plus a bottom pan and cover, performing up to 8 fractions in a single 5–15 minute operation.
• Standardized Precision: Manufactured strictly according to ASTM E11 and ISO 3310-1 standard mesh tolerances (precision up to ±0.05mm).
• Durable & Shock-Absorbing: Built with heavy-duty 304 stainless steel and heavy springs to eliminate platform vibration during continuous operation.
• Digital Timer & Control: Allows exact runtime setting (0–99 minutes) to guarantee repeatability across laboratory testing procedures.

Main Components of a Sand Sieve Shaker

• Stainless Steel Sieve Frame: Rigid, non-deformable frame available in standard Φ200mm and Φ300mm diameters.
• Screen Mesh Media: High-precision woven wire mesh or laser-perforated metal plates.
• Vibrating Motor / Shaker Unit: Provides 3D orbital or vertical high-frequency excitation force.
• Base Unit & Clamping Mechanism: Stabilizes the stack and minimizes ambient noise under 50 dB.

Application Scenarios of Sand Sieve Shakers

• Civil Engineering & Construction: On-site aggregate gradation analysis for asphalt, concrete mixing plants, and road base material compliance.
• Quality Inspection Institutes: Third-party verification of sand fineness modulus, clay lump content, and particle sizing.
• Mining & Quarrying Production: Dynamic adjustment of crusher discharge settings by real-time monitoring of raw aggregate quality.
• Academic & University Research: Geotechnical research and teaching experiments for soil and sand particle distribution curves.

Sieve Aperture Types: Square Mesh vs. Round Hole

Square Aperture (Woven Wire Mesh): Standard choice for fine to medium sand particle testing. Offers high open area percentage and efficient material flow rate.

Round Aperture (Perforated Plate): Stamped metal sheet design. Recommended for coarse aggregate, crushed stone, and high-impact heavy gravel testing to prevent mesh deformation.

FAQ Answers for Sand Sieve Shaker Machine

Q: What is the difference between square hole and round hole sieves?

A: Square hole sieves: Woven metal mesh, high open area, accurate grading, widely used for fine sand and general construction aggregate testing.
Round hole sieves: Punch-hole metal plate, high strength & wear resistance, mainly for coarse gravel and large-particle aggregate inspection.

Q: How many sieve layers can be installed?

A: Our standard sand sieve shaker can install 1–8 layers of standard test sieves at one time, completing multi-grade particle-size analysis in a single test.

Q: What industries use sand sieve shaker machines?

A: Widely used in construction engineering, concrete batching plants, sand & gravel quarries, highway & bridge projects, mining, geological testing, university laboratories, building materials quality inspection.
