Test Sieve Shaker Machine for Particle Size Analysis
The Test Sieve Shaker Machine is a laboratory screening machine for particle size analysis of powders and granular materials. It uses controlled vertical mechanical vibration to move material through a stack of test sieves and separate different particle-size fractions.
Available in DH-75, DH-100, DH-200 and DH-300 configurations, it is suitable for laboratory testing, routine sieve analysis and quality control.

How Does a Test Sieve Shaker Machine Work?
The machine separates particles by size through controlled mechanical vibration.
1. Prepare the Sieve Stack
Arrange the test sieves from larger to smaller aperture and place the receiving pan underneath.
2. Add the Sample
Place the representative sample into the upper sieve.
3. Set the Screening Time
Set the timer according to the material and testing procedure.
4. Start the Machine
The YZU vertical vibration motor transfers mechanical movement to the sieve stack. Smaller particles pass through the appropriate apertures while larger particles remain on the corresponding sieve.
5. Evaluate the Results
The material retained on each sieve can be weighed to determine the particle-size distribution.
Key Features and Benefits
Multi-Layer Screening
The multi-layer configuration allows several particle-size fractions to be separated in one screening cycle.
Compact Laboratory Design
The compact structure is suitable for laboratories where installation space is limited.
Controlled Screening Time
The 0–99 minute timer provides a defined screening period for different testing procedures.
Stable Vertical Vibration
The YZU vertical vibration motor provides the mechanical movement required for sieve analysis, with an amplitude of up to 5 mm.
Stainless Steel Sieve Compatibility
The machine is compatible with Φ75, Φ100, Φ200 and Φ300 mm test sieves. Standard sieve frames are available in SUS304 stainless steel.
Low Operating Noise
The standard noise level is ≤50 dB, supporting routine laboratory operation.
Applications of Test Sieve Shaker Machine
Powder and Granular Material Testing
The machine can separate suitable dry powders and granular materials into different size fractions for particle-size analysis.
Chemical and Food Materials
It can be used for particle-size testing of suitable dry chemical powders, food ingredients and granular raw materials.
Mineral and Construction Materials
Suitable dry mineral and construction-related materials can be evaluated through laboratory sieve analysis.
Research and Quality Control
The machine is suitable for routine testing, incoming material inspection, product development and laboratory quality control.
How to Choose a Test Sieve Shaker Machine？
The correct configuration depends on the sample, sieve system and testing procedure.
Particle Size
Determine the particle-size range to be measured and select test sieves with suitable apertures.
Sieve Diameter
Choose the machine according to the diameter of the test sieves used in your laboratory.
Number of Sieve Layers
Use a multi-layer stack when several particle-size fractions need to be separated in one cycle.
Sample Quantity
The standard feeding amount is ≤200 g per batch.
Testing Standard
When a specific testing standard is required, select the appropriate test sieve first and then match the shaker to its diameter and configuration.
For standardized applications, see our [ASTM E11 Test Sieve] and related laboratory test sieve products.
Material Characteristics
Moisture, density, particle shape and cohesion can affect screening performance. Fine powders with severe mesh blocking may require an [Ultrasonic Sieve Shaker].
Example Configuration
Material: Dry powder
Sample Quantity: 100–200 g
Sieve Diameter: Φ200 mm
Sieve Layers: 4–6 layers
Testing Purpose: Particle-size distribution
A DH-200 configuration can be considered for this laboratory application together with the required test sieve set. Final selection should be confirmed according to the actual material and testing procedure.
Compatible Test Sieves and Standards
The Test Sieve Shaker Machine can be used with laboratory test sieves selected according to sieve diameter, aperture and testing requirements.
Stainless steel woven wire test sieves are commonly used for routine particle-size analysis. Other sieve types can be selected for specific applications.
The shaker provides the controlled movement, while the test sieve determines the separation aperture.
