Preparation for the Analysis
To prepare for the analysis of a powder sample for the first time, it will
be necessary to perform a few simple tasks:
Gather the Ancillary Equipment Needed:
Weighing device (balance or scale with resolution in grams

sufficient) 100g capacity is suitable.
Camel hair paint brush for brushing fine particles from the

standard sieves wire cloth or precision mesh frames. (NOTE:
Brush sieves from the underside ONLY!
through a sieve opening. Never brush precision mesh.)

from the manufacturing process.
Performing the Analysis
The following steps constitute a typical analysis with the L3P Sonic
Sifter Separator:
Weighing the Parts
Weigh and record the tare weights of the diaphragm, top cone,
spacers, sieves, and fines collector.
Installing the Fines Collector
Install the fines collector in the fines collector holder.
round metal plate at the bottom of the fines collector to the fines
collector holder by sliding the keyhole slot in the fines collector over
the fastener mounted in the fines collector holder base.
Assembling the Sieve Stack
Assemble the sieve stack with the coarsest sieve on the top of the
stack and finest sieve at the bottom. If fewer than six (6) standard
series or three (3) precision electroformed sieves are used, add
spacers as necessary to fill out the proper stack height as described in
Never force material
