A Comprehensive Range of Test Sieves

Essa maintains substantial stocks of our own privately labelled
test sieves in a range of common diameters: 100 mm,
200 mm, 300 mm and 450 mm.

These test sieves are manufactured to internationally
recognised quality assurance standards. They are individually
checked throughout manufacture either by optical projection
or highly sophisticated computer scanning techniques and are
certified for compliance with ISO 3310.

Each sieve is issued with a unique serial number and a
certificate of compliance for full product traceability.

Essa specialises in sieves of stainless steel frame and mesh
construction that are inherently more robust, durable and
corrosion resistant than traditional brass sieves.






Benefits and Features of the Essa Test Sieve

Sieves can often look alike, but take a closer look and youll
find that they are not all the same. In fact there can be some
very important differences that may affect the results,
performance or life of the sieve.

Here are some the key features you will find in the Essa test
sieve:

Sturdy rim: strong and easy to handle
Exact frame: rugged and uniform with positive nesting
Fillet: no sample is trapped between the mesh and the
frame
Ergonomically designed: no raw edges and comfortable to
handle
Evenly tensioned mesh: precise and accurate results
No cavities: totally sealed frame with no crevices to trap
sample
Precision mesh: high-tech optical equipment accurately
measures apertures
Fully traceable: individually numbered serial number
High quality stainless steel frame: minimal corrosion and
long lasting

The 3D Digital is ideal for laboratory or on
site use. It is robust, compact and sufficiently
lightweight to be portable.

A digital display makes
the setting of the
microprocessor
controlled functions very
straightforward.

The 3D Digital is
powered by an
electromagnetic drive
which has no rotating
parts to wear making it
maintenance free and
extremely quiet in
operation.

The vibratory action
produced by the power
unit moves the sample
over the sieve in a unique
way producing faster
more efficient sieving,
while the rapid vertical
movements also help to keep the apertures
from blinding.

The 3D Digital's digital controller is used to
set both the process time and the amplitude
setting while a further control enables the
vibration to run continuously or
intermittently.

Intermittent vibration
improves performance
and helps to clear
apertures that may have
become blocked. The
controller will also set
the duration of both the
on and off times of the
vibration.

The 3D Digital offers
total flexibility enabling
optimum settings to be
established for virtually
any material under test.

Essas 3D Digital shakers
are fitted with a new and
totally unique clamping
device. It ensures sieves
are held firmly without
over-tightening and
allows them to be quickly
removed and replaced.

Non-metallic springs and anti-vibration
mountings are fitted to isolate vibrations
from work surfaces and reduce noise levels.

Model OST450 SIEVE SHAKER
For dry sieving with 450mm square or round sieves
The OST450 is a heavy duty, floor mounted oscillat-
ing sieve shaker (or table) which was originally
designed to satisfy the requirements of recognised
international standards particularly associated with
the laboratory screen sizing of iron ore. Subse-
quently it has also been applied in a number of
applications where customers need a heavy duty
laboratory screen to process larger volumes of other
minerals including coal.
The OST450 can be fitted with up to eight 450 mm
square perforated plate sieves or up to ten 450 mm
diameter standard BS or ASTM perforated plate or
wire mesh test sieves.
The sieve stack on the OST450 is oscillated in a
circular motion in the horizontal plane by a three
phase 1.5kW electric motor driving to a mechanical
cam system. A positive vertical component of motion
is also imparted to the sieve stack by an electromag-
netic vibrator integrated into the oscillating table to assure optimum screening efficiency.
While the dual drive system of the OST450 results in relatively quiet operation of the unladen
machine, the movement of the material being screened in the sieve stack can create a
degree of noise which will typically require the unit to be located away from operating per-
sonnel. When this is not practical then Labtech Essa can offer an optional extra sound
enclosure for the unit.
The OST450 is supplied as standard complete
with a separate IP55 enclosed on/off
control station for customer installation remote
from the unit. An optional extra timer can
be included in this control station.
Labtech Essa are manufacturers of
450mm square sieves and
international distributors of a
complementary range of 100, 200,
300 & 450mm diameter wire mesh
and perforated plate test sieves to
BS410.
Unique Heavy Duty 450 mm Sieve Shaker Suitable
for Laboratory, Plant and Field Applications

Designed for suspended mounting, the SST450 is a basic and
dependable electro-mechanical shaker able to handle two
standard 450 mm test sieves. It is specifically engineered for
heavy duty sieving applications including wet sieving. Robust
design and construction ensures reliable and efficient
performance.

Drive is via a special 240 volt, 50 Hz single phase electric motor
to a rotating eccentric mass that causes the sieves to oscillate
primarily in a horizontal plane. The motion is designed to
continually clear the apertures of the sieves.

Sieves are retained in position by an uncomplicated heavy duty
clamp mechanism which facilitates speedy releasing and unloading
of sieves.

The shaker can be simply suspended from any suitably robust
hook in your laboratory, workshop, process plant or even in the
field.

An optional mobile suspension stand, fitted with a manual winch,
is available to mount the shaker and sieve stack. This stand is high
enough to allow the shaker to be operated above a standard
205 L drum. The sieve stack can be lowered to floor level.

A wet sieving head attachment, a control panel with timer and an
adaptor for 300 mm diameter sieves can also be supplied as
options.

Features and Benefits

Reduced capital costs: the suspended mounting
arrangement provides flexibility of use allowing for
semi-continuous or batch use in laboratory, plant or
field applications.

Ease of installation: simply hang the shaker from an
overhead hook, connect to a single phase power supply
and turn on the power.

Ease of operation: no control box required, no
skilled operator training, easy to use, ready to go and
virtually maintenance free operation.

Space saving: frees up room in the laboratory as no
floor or bench space is required to store and operate
the shaker.

Increased productivity and quality: easily handles
larger samples for analysis; if required, locate the sieves
over a drum to collect the undersize; ideal for bulk wet
sieving applications.


Ergonomically designed: simple but effective
clamping arrangement allows for rapid sieve
changeover.

Reduced costs: compatible with most makes of test
sieves; no requirement for special sieves as the SST450
accepts standard high quality 450 mm diameter sieves,
pans and lids; an optional adaptor to suit 300 mm
diameter sieves is available.

Optional Benefits:

Mobility: optional wheel mounted stand with manual
winch allows the shaker to be moved directly to the
work area or simply stored away when not in use; can
be easily operated above a 205 L or similar drum.

Precise and repeatable analysis: better control of
analysis is provided via an optional control box with
timer.
