Laboratory Separators for New Zealand Particle Analysis Workflows
Laboratory separators are used where teams need to classify samples into defined particle size fractions before analysis, reporting or production review. In this category, relevant products include vibratory sieve shakers and screening devices used with test sieves for particle size distribution, separation and fractioning tasks.
- Vibratory Sieve Shakers: Use Fritsch sieve shakers for controlled dry and wet sieving of laboratory samples.
- Sample Classification: Separate powders, granules and solids into retained fractions for QC, research or method development.
- Wet Sieving Support: Consider wet sieving configurations for suspensions or fine materials that may agglomerate during dry sieving.
- Laboratory Productivity: Review sieve capacity, tensioning systems, software support and accessories where repeatability and documentation are required.
How to Select Laboratory Separators and Sieve Shakers
Start by reviewing the material, particle size range, required sieve diameter, sample weight and whether the test method requires dry or wet sieving. For routine quality control, simple and reliable vibratory systems may be suitable. For more documented workflows, consider models with amplitude control, programme options and software-assisted evaluation.
- Material Behaviour: Consider whether the sample is free-flowing, cohesive, granular, powder-based, suspended or moisture-sensitive.
- Test Method: Match the separator to the sieve stack, mesh sizes, run time and internal or standardised method requirements.
- Throughput: Choose the system based on sample quantity, number of sieves and daily testing volume.
- Accessories: Check test sieves, pans, lids, tensioning systems and wet sieving kits before finalising the setup.
- Documentation: Consider software and data handling needs where particle size results must be recorded or compared over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are laboratory separators the same as sieve shakers?
In this category, the relevant products are mainly sieve-based separators and vibratory sieve shakers used to separate sample fractions by particle size.
What materials can be tested with a laboratory sieve shaker?
Suitable materials can include powders, granules, dry bulk solids and selected suspensions, depending on the sieve shaker, accessories and test method used.
Can John Morris Group help choose sieve shaker accessories?
Yes, the New Zealand team can help review sample type, sieve diameter, mesh range, wet or dry sieving needs and accessory requirements before recommending a setup.
