INTRODUCTION
• Quiet, electromagnetic vibratory action.
• 0—100% amplitude control.
• Switchable tapping action.
• Precise digital timing.
The Performer III 3in (76mm) Sieve Shaker is designed for small
samples of chemicals, minerals, pharmaceuticals, powdered
metals, cosmetics, abrasives, ores, foods, and other fine pow-
ders. Effective size range is No.4—No.635 (4.75mm—20μm) us-
ing woven wire sieves. Extended size ranges are possible with
some materials.
The High frequency, 3,600vpm, electromagnetic vibratory
action with 0—100% amplitude control is ideal for fine par-
ticle separations. The solenoid actuated tapping (60 taps/min)
speeds dry separations and can be used alone for tap-settling
and bulk density tests.
The Performer lll holds up to seven full-height metal sieves plus
pan or fourteen acrylic sieves and pan. The digital timer/control-
ler and graduated vibration control knob allow the Performer lll
to give reliable, repeatable results. The optional GAA-88 Acrylic
Spacer is useful for observing sample action during set-up or
testing.
