Precision Starts with Particle Size Analysis

In industries where accuracy and consistency are non-negotiable, particle size analysis becomes a key quality control step. From pharmaceuticals to mining, the ability to classify and measure particles precisely can determine whether a product meets performance, safety, and compliance standards.

At Masseprazise, we understand this critical need. As a trusted manufacturer and supplier of laboratory test sieves and sieve sets, we provide reliable tools designed to deliver consistent and repeatable particle size analysis.

What Are Test Sieves?

A test sieve is a precision instrument used to separate and classify particles based on size. It consists of a woven mesh screen mounted in a rigid frame, typically made from stainless steel, brass, or durable synthetic materials.

The accuracy of a test sieve depends on mesh size (aperture opening), wire diameter, and open area percentage. To ensure reliability across industries, our sieves comply with ASTM E11 and ISO 3310 standards, making them suitable for laboratory, industrial, and research applications.

Types of Laboratory Test Sieves

At Masseprazise, we offer a wide range of sieves to meet diverse material testing requirements:

1. Woven Wire Cloth Sieves

• Material: Stainless steel or brass mesh

• Application: Widely used in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries for precise particle separation.

2. Perforated Plate Sieves

• Material: Stainless steel with punched holes

• Application: Suitable for larger particles such as aggregates, gravel, and agricultural products.

3. Electroformed Mesh Sieves

• Material: Nickel mesh created through electroforming

• Application: Ideal for ultra-fine powders in aerospace, electronics, and advanced material applications.

4. Wet-Wash Sieves

• Design: Used with water or liquid to prevent clogging

• Application: Effective for materials prone to agglomeration or clogging.

Laboratory Sieve Sets

A laboratory sieve set includes a stack of sieves with progressively smaller mesh openings, along with a pan and cover. By shaking or vibrating the sample through the set, materials are classified into size fractions for analysis.

Our sieve sets are indispensable for:

• Determining particle size distribution

• Meeting compliance standards (ASTM, ISO, BIS)

• Conducting comparative material studies

Applications Across Industries

Masseprazise test sieves are trusted across multiple sectors:

1. Pharmaceutical Industry

• Ensures powder uniformity in tablets and capsules

• Prevents ingredient segregation

• Meets pharmacopoeia particle size requirements

2. Food Processing

• Classifies flour, sugar, and spices for consistent texture

• Screens grains and seeds for purity and safety

3. Mining and Metallurgy

• Determines size distribution of ores and minerals

• Optimizes grinding, crushing, and separation processes

4. Construction and Aggregates

• Tests sand, gravel, and crushed stone

• Ensures concrete and asphalt meet strength and durability standards

Scientific Principle Behind Sieving

Sieving relies on mechanical separation, where particles are passed through mesh openings. Depending on the material, separation can be achieved using:

• Gravity Sieving – For coarse materials

• Vibration Sieving – For fine powders

• Airflow or Wet-Wash Sieving – For difficult-to-handle samples

The results are typically represented in a sieve analysis curve, showing material retained at each sieve level.

Importance in Quality Control

In industries where particle size impacts performance, precision is everything. Test sieves play a key role in:

• Ensuring product performance (tablet dissolution, coating smoothness, etc.)

• Improving process efficiency (grinding, blending, mixing)

• Maintaining compliance with ASTM, ISO, and industry regulations

Even slight deviations in particle size can affect product safety, shelf life, or usability.

Technological Advancements in Test Sieves

At Masseprazise, we continuously adapt to modern testing needs with innovations such as:

• Laser-cut precision frames for accuracy

• Electroformed micro-mesh for micron-level analysis

• Digital sieve shakers for repeatable results

• Data integration software for real-time analysis

Best Practices for Using Laboratory Sieves

To get the most accurate results:

• Select the correct mesh size for your application

• Use sieves certified to ASTM/ISO standards

• Avoid overloading with excessive sample quantities

• Clean sieves carefully to prevent mesh damage

• Inspect regularly for wear and tear
