Powder sieving is a process used to separate and classify particles of varying sizes within a powder mixture.
This process is crucial for determining the particle size distribution.
Particle size distribution significantly impacts the performance and processing of the powder in various industries.
Sieving methods are broadly categorized into dry sieve and wet screening.
Each method is suited to different powder properties and conditions.
The dry sieve method involves placing dry powder material into a screening device.
Mechanical vibrations are used to pass the powder through a sieve.
The weight of the residue left on the sieve and the weight of the material that passes through are measured.
This helps calculate the particle size distribution.
This method is suitable for powders that are not moisture-sensitive and can be easily dispersed.
In contrast, the wet screening method is employed when the powder has a high moisture content or tends to agglomerate.
This method uses a liquid medium to facilitate the separation of particles.
Particles are kept in a semi-suspended state to prevent clogging and improve accuracy.
Wet screening is particularly useful for materials like cement and certain raw materials where high precision is required.
This is the most widely used screening equipment in various industries.
It operates by tilting the sieve surface at an angle and using both gravity and a vibrating motor to move the material across the sieve.
This device is versatile, capable of handling tasks ranging from separating solids in liquids to ensuring the quality of particle size in products.
This machine is designed for dry sieving of powders and granules.
It uses an air jet to drag fine particles through a sieve.
This is particularly effective for obtaining granulometric curves within a specific size range (5 to microns).
The air jet sieving machine is essential in quality control processes due to its reliability and repeatability of results.
These are used in powder processing applications to ensure consistency in particle size and quality.
They are crucial for verifying that the final product meets the required specifications for its intended application.

Test sieves serve as a fundamental tool in particle size analysis.
They provide a quick and relatively simple method to determine particle size distribution.
Despite potential limitations in absolute accuracy due to the assumption of spherical particles, sieving remains a widely accepted and practiced method across various industries.
This is due to its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and the availability of standardized test methods.
In summary, powder sieving is a critical process in many industries.
It utilizes different methods and devices tailored to specific powder properties and requirements.
The choice between dry and wet screening methods, along with the selection of appropriate sieving equipment, is crucial for ensuring the quality and performance of powder-based products.

Toll sieving also referred to as dry powder sifting or a dry powder screening service (particle processing), is essentially a turn-key solution which a powder manufacturer or powder material importer will drop ship all of their raw feed materials (raw powder) to us for processing. Elcan takes the powdered material and classifies it through our high-performance powder sieving machines to deliver our clients their desired particle size specifications.
Toll sieving or air classifying powders is essentially the process in which companies have any particular powder and they need the powder sized or classified into a particular size specification. Generally speaking, companies buy raw powder from a powder supplier or manufacturer and then have it shipped to a toll processor like Elcan and have them screen the powder into multiple size ranges so that they can create different products and end use applications for their clients. Other times, companies have good powder and just need to screen out some contamination that got inside their powder during the manufacturing process so instead of scraping the material or shipping it back to the manufacturer, companies send it to a toller and have them screen out the contaminated particles and return the powder to a pure and usable state.
The benefits of having Elcan as a toll processing partner is that Elcan Industries is the only company in the world with the capabilities of screening powders down to very fine sizes such as 10um and 1um respectively, on an industrial scale utilizing its proprietary screening technology the Hi-Sifter. Elcan Industries has a very distinct advantage over companies that strictly sell equipment because we actually run the very same equipment we sell. Furthermore, Elcan manufactures and customizes the sieving equipment to offer catered processing solutions for clients depending on their objectives, powder material type, density and other important criteria. Our sieving equipment gives Elcan and its customers the ability to process powdered materials at virtually any particle size range they require down to as fine as 10um on a large commercial scale. Companies that utilize our contract sieving services experience high throughput rates, yields and over 95% efficiencies all without having to run multiple passes on material.
In its contract manufacturing facility, Elcan offers particle separation services for companies that are struggling with particle contamination issues, screen mesh blinding, low feed rates, low yields and other issues associated with mediocre screening equipment / services. Elcans particle processing capabilities are often paired with our contract packaging services, blending, particle size analysis and magnetic separation to provide full manufacturing capacity to our customers.
