SIEVE SHAKER ‘GYRATORY’ AZA0926
The Azalab AZA0926 Gyratory Sieve Shaker is a high-performance laboratory instrument designed for accurate, repeatable dry particle size analysis of granular and powdered materials. Utilizing a combined gyratory (orbital) motion with vertical tapping, the AZA0926 delivers superior separation efficiency compared to conventional vibratory-only sieve shakers.
This motion profile is particularly effective for materials that are fine, cohesive, electrostatically charged, irregular in shape, or prone to sieve blinding, making the AZA0926 an essential tool for quality control, research, and material characterization in civil engineering, cement, mining, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and chemical industries.
Description
Principle of Operation
The AZA0926 operates on a dual-motion mechanism:
-
Gyratory (Orbital) Motion
The sieve stack moves in a horizontal circular path, allowing particles to roll freely over the sieve surface. This ensures continuous reorientation of particles and maximizes the probability of correct-size passage through the mesh. -
Vertical Tapping Action
Intermittent tapping dislodges particles trapped in sieve apertures due to shape, moisture films, or static forces, preventing blinding and ensuring complete separation.
This combination results in faster sieving, higher accuracy, and excellent repeatability, especially for difficult-to-sieve materials.

The AZA0853 consists of a polished brass cup mounted on an adjustable bracket. The cup is repeatedly raised and dropped from a fixed height of 1 cm onto a hard rubber base by means of a manually operated cam mechanism. A built-in mechanical counter accurately records the number of blows, ensuring compliance with testing standards and reducing operator error.
