1. DESCRIPTION
The unique action of this Sieve Shaker a circular motion to the material being sieved so that
it makes a slow progression over the surface of the sieve. At the same time, a rapid vertical
movement agitates the sample which assists in clearing the apertures. A time switch is
incorporated to set tests of varying duration.

(placing the machine on a level surface ensures even distribution of the sample over
the sieves )
3. SAFETY CAUTIONS
Whilst the test is in operation do not remover any covers or attempt to adjust any part of
the machine. Ensure all moving parts are thoroughly secured before attempting any
maintenance. Ensure all appropriate measures are taken to protect the operator from
excessive noise.

Timer 10-60 minutes turns clockwise to set duration of test, this also starts the machine
providing that the mains switch is ON. At the end of the set time the machine stops
automatically.
5. OPERATION
Sieve Stacking
Place the receiver centrally into the appropriate recess in the location plate. Stack the
required number of sieves on top of the receiver. Place the sample in the top sieve and fit
the lid.
Fitting the Clamp Plate
Locate the clamp plate into the two rods and slide down squarely onto the lid of the sieve
stack. Unscrew the hand wheels until there is approximately a gap of 5mm between the
lower face of the hand wheel and the washer, apply downward pressure to the clamp plate
and tighten the locking levers. The levers should be positioned pointing downwards; they
may be repositioned by pulling outwards and rotating to the correct position.
Fully tighten the hand wheels simultaneously to ensure that the clamp plate is square.
Running the test
Ensure the mains switch is on.
Start the machine by turning the timer knob clockwise to the desired duration of the test.

The machine may be stopped at any time during operation by turning the timer knob fully
anticlockwise to the zero position.
At the end of the test the clamp plate and sieve stack may be removed in the reverse order
to which they were assembled.
6. MAINTENANCE
The Sieve Shaker is maintenance free other than keeping it clean and free from
debris, especially with regard to the recesses in the location plate. The external surfaces
may be cleaned using a mild detergent solution; under no circumstances should solvents be
used. Periodically lightly oil the clamping mechanisms and rods.
