Quick Overview 

Keep your sieve shaker machine accurate and reliable with simple care:

• Daily: Clean sieves, pan & lid.

• Weekly: Check meshes, vibration, cords.

• Monthly: Calibrate & test settings.

• Quarterly: Full inspection & validation.

Supports 100–200/203 mm sieves, dry/wet sieving, low noise & minimal maintenance.

When it comes to accurate particle size analysis, the Sieve Shaker Machine is the backbone of laboratories and industries worldwide. Whether used in pharmaceuticals, construction, food processing, or mining, a well-maintained laboratory sieve shaker machine ensures precision, consistency, and compliance with global testing standards.

At Masse Präzise, we design and manufacture high-performance analytical sieve shakers that fit sieves of 100–200/203 mm across all brands, supporting both dry and wet sieving applications. With variable time and power settings, low-noise operation, and minimal maintenance requirements, our machines are built to last. Still, like any precision instrument, proper care is critical for long-term performance.

This blog provides a detailed maintenance checklist to help you maximize the efficiency, accuracy, and durability of your sieve shaker machine.

Why Maintenance Matters

Regular maintenance of your electromagnetic sieve shaker or powder sieving machine ensures:

• Accuracy: Clean and calibrated equipment delivers consistent particle size distribution results.

• Longevity: Prevents premature wear and extends machine lifespan.

• Compliance: Meets laboratory validation requirements (IQ/OQ) and industry quality standards.

• Efficiency: Minimizes downtime and ensures smooth operation for both dry and wet sieving.

Maintenance Checklist for Sieve Shaker Machines

1. Daily Cleaning and Inspection

• Remove any residue or material build-up from the receiver pan, sieves, and lid after each test.

• Check the silicone pad and supporting rods for dust or particle accumulation.

• Inspect the locking knobs and top lid to ensure they are secure and undamaged.

Tip: For powder sieving machines, special attention should be paid to fine powders, which can clog sieve meshes if not cleaned properly.

2. Weekly Care

• Examine the sieve meshes for tears, warping, or clogging. Damaged sieves compromise accuracy.

• Check for uniform vibration in the electromagnetic sieve shaker. Irregular vibrations may indicate a mechanical issue.

• Ensure the mains cord and electrical connections are intact and not frayed.

• Clean the vibration chamber with a soft brush or compressed air.

3. Monthly Maintenance

• Calibrate the analytical sieve shaker to ensure results match standard particle size distribution.

• Verify that variable time and power settings are functioning correctly.

• Inspect the silicone pad for wear and replace if necessary.

• Tighten supporting rods and locking knobs to prevent machine imbalance.

• Check for unusual noise—while our sieve shakers are designed for low-noise operation, any increase may indicate loosening components.

4. Quarterly & Annual Maintenance

• Perform a thorough machine inspection with reference to the user manual.

• Validate the machine using standard laboratory documentation (IQ/OQ).

• Service the motor and check for vibration consistency in the electromagnetic sieve shaker.

• Replace worn-out parts like gaskets, pads, or cords.

• For labs conducting wet sieving, inspect the optional wet sieve attachment for leaks or rust.

Accessories and Their Role in Maintenance

Every laboratory sieve shaker machine comes with essential accessories that aid both testing and machine upkeep:

• Supporting Rods (2 Nos.) – Ensure sieve stack stability. Regularly check for alignment.

• Easy Lock Knobs (2 Nos.) – Should be inspected for smooth locking and wear.

• Receiver Pan – Needs daily cleaning to prevent contamination between tests.

• Top Lid – Prevents dust escape; must fit securely to maintain test integrity.

• Silicone Pad – Protects the sieve stack and absorbs vibration; replace if cracked.

• Mains Cord – Inspect monthly for wear and tear.

• Operating Manual – Always follow the guidelines for troubleshooting and servicing.

For advanced applications, the wet sieve attachment (optional) should be carefully cleaned and dried after every use to prevent corrosion.

Documentation for Compliance

At Masse Präzise, we provide complete documentation support for every sieve shaker machine, including:

• User Manual – Detailed operating and care instructions.

• Validation Documents (IQ/OQ) – For laboratories that require compliance with audit and regulatory standards.

Maintaining proper documentation not only ensures traceability but also demonstrates commitment to quality during inspections and certifications.

Best Practices for Long-Term Performance

1. Use Genuine Sieves: Always use high-quality test sieves compatible with the machine (100–200/203 mm, all brands).

2. Avoid Overloading: Never exceed the recommended material load for accurate results.

3. Switch Between Dry & Wet Sieving Correctly: Clean and reset components when shifting between applications.

4. Train Operators: Ensure all lab personnel are familiar with the operating manual.

5. Schedule Preventive Maintenance: Even if the machine is functioning well, preventive servicing ensures continued reliability.
