What Is the Wet Sieve Shaker Used For?
Wet sieving washes the fine silt and clay particles through the sieves with water, which is needed when fines coat the larger grains or form lumps and dry sieving would not give repeatable results. The operator nests the sieves in the holder, places the soil on the top sieve and runs the shaker while water from the reservoir flows over the sample, setting the run time on the optional 0 - 60 minute timer where fitted. The washed fractions are dried and weighed, giving the grading used to classify granular soils and to estimate their strength and permeability.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of wet sieve shakers required.
- Capacity — the 1 set, 2 set or 4 set version.
- Construction — mild steel or stainless steel.
- Timer — whether the optional automatic 0 - 60 minute timer is wanted.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is wet sieving used for soil?
Wet sieving gives basic index information used to estimate strength and permeability, and it is chosen when fines cannot be separated with repeatable results by dry sieving.
How many sieves can be fitted?
The holder takes up to 7 sieves of 8 inch diameter (150 mm or 200 mm), and versions for 1, 2 or 4 sets of sieves are listed.
What drives the shaker?
A 1/4 HP belt driven motor drives the shaker, and the machine runs on a 230 / 240 volt power supply.
Is a timer fitted?
An automatic timer covering 0 - 60 minutes is available as an option, and the key features list digital setting and control of sieving parameters.
What particle size range does it cover?
Its measuring range is 20 µm to 10 mm, and it is suitable for both dry and wet sieving with sieves up to 8 inch.
What is the shaker made of?
The construction is mild steel or stainless steel, and the water reservoir and holder are listed as its accessories.
