WET SIEVE SHAKER AZA0927

Description

Principle of Operation

The AZA0927 integrates mechanical shaking with hydraulic washing to achieve accurate particle separation:

1. A prepared sample is placed on a stack of standard test sieves arranged in descending mesh size.

2. The sieve stack is secured inside the wet sieve shaker.

3. Water is uniformly sprayed over the top sieve while the machine imparts a controlled shaking motion.

4. Fine particles are washed through the sieve apertures, preventing clogging and agglomeration.

5. Material retained on each sieve is collected, dried, and weighed for particle size analysis.

This method ensures that each particle is fully exposed to the sieve openings, resulting in accurate, repeatable, and representative gradation results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. When is wet sieving required instead of dry sieving?
Wet sieving is required for cohesive soils and materials containing fine particles that clump together, where dry sieving produces inaccurate results.

Q2. What sieve sizes are supported?
The AZA0927 is compatible with standard 200 mm (8″) diameter test sieves.

Q3. Is water supply mandatory?
Yes. Continuous water supply and proper drainage are essential for operation.

Q4. Does the unit include a timer?
A digital timer with auto shut-off is available, depending on configuration.

Q5. Which standards does the AZA0927 comply with?
IS 2720 (Part 4), ASTM D6913, ASTM C117, and relevant ISO standards.
