Overview

The Vector VTR-1041 Analytical Sieve Shaker delivers controlled-amplitude vibration for reproducible particle size distribution on stacked ISO test sieves — the everyday method for aggregates, soils, cement-related powders, and general laboratory QC above the ultrafine range.

An eccentric drive excites the sieve stack with adjustable amplitude so cohesive and granular materials disperse without the vacuum infrastructure of air jet sieving. Operators define sieving time and repeat the same motion profile shift to shift, supporting grading curves and residue-on-sieve reporting.

The VTR-1041 accepts standard 200 mm and 300 mm test sieves with pan and lid, aligning with common ASTM E11 and ISO 3310 sieve-frame practice. Vector configures amplitude and timing for your referenced standards and internal SOPs.

Vector VTR-1041 analytical sieve shaker — controlled vibration particle size analyser

Applications

Mechanical sieve shaking remains the workhorse for grading sand, aggregate, soil, and free-flowing powders where air jet methods are unnecessary.

Cement & building materials

Raw meal, clinker, sand, and filler grading — fineness modules and residue curves alongside Blaine and strength programmes.

Aggregates & quarry

Graded stone, sand, and manufactured fines for mix design, compliance reporting, and production QC.

Soils & geotechnics

Particle size distribution for classification, permeability studies, and construction material acceptance.

Food & chemicals

Free-flowing powders and granules where repeatable mechanical dispersion is sufficient for QC.

Education & R&D

Teaching labs and method development comparing amplitude, time, and stack configuration on standard test sieves.

Key features

Stable vibration, standard sieve compatibility, and operator-friendly timing for repeatable grading results.

Amplitude

Controlled vibration

Adjustable eccentric drive energy — match dispersion needs for fine sands through coarse aggregate without over-agitation.

200/300

Standard sieve sizes

Accepts 200 mm and 300 mm diameter test sieves, pans, and lids per ISO frame practice.

Timer

Digital timing

Defined sieving duration per method — reduce operator timing variation between runs.

Stack

Multi-sieve stacks

Full grading towers for distribution curves — from single-sieve residue to complete particle size curves.

Compact

Bench footprint

Laboratory-friendly layout beside mills, splitters, and balances on busy sample-prep lines.

CE

Laboratory equipment

CE-marked unit for industrial QC, commercial testing, and research laboratories.

Vector VTR-1041 analytical sieve shaker — test sieve stack on vibration platform

How it works

A weighed sample is placed on the top sieve of a nested stack. The shaker imparts controlled vertical vibration; particles smaller than each aperture pass to lower sieves while oversize remains as residue. Weighing each fraction yields the particle size distribution.

  • Adjustable amplitude — tune energy for cohesive fines vs coarse aggregate.
  • Timed cycles — repeatable duration per ASTM, ISO, or internal SOP.
  • Stack flexibility — configure mesh series for the required grading band.

Control & operation

Quick setup and stable clamping keep stacks secure during vibration. Digital timing and clear controls support high-throughput labs running many grading cycles per shift.

  • Secure clamping — stable stack retention for tall sieve towers.
  • Repeatable programs — store typical duration and amplitude settings.
  • Vector support — sieve selection, amplitude guidance, and method alignment.
