Choosing Air-Jet Sieving, Vibratory Sieving or Dynamic Image Analysis

2026-10-02English

Air-jet sieving, vibratory sieving and dynamic image analysis evaluate particulate materials but are not the same measurement performed by different machines. First decide whether the task needs retained/passing mass fractions or particle dimensions and shape.[1–3]

Main distinctions

Method Documented working features Confirm first
Air-jet sieving e200 LS dry analysis using suction airflow and a sieve Dry suitability, sieve and suction configuration
Vibratory sieving Grading through sieve layers; dry/wet capability varies by EML model Dry or wet operation, amplitude and sieve stack
Dynamic image analysis CPA image-based size and shape evaluation Target size, dispersion, feeding and shape outputs

Dry/wet capability is model-specific

The e200 LS brochure describes dry sieving and notes that the suction unit is ordered separately. Software packages differ in pressure control, archiving and records; not every version has the same automation.[1]

EML documentation distinguishes Pure, Premium and Remote. Pure provides fixed amplitude choices, while Premium has different amplitude adjustment. Confirm wet suitability by exact model rather than stating that the whole EML series supports dry and wet operation.[2]

Why sieve aperture and image size are not interchangeable

Sieving relates to passage through an aperture; image results depend on the projected outline and selected size definition. Irregular shapes make direct equivalence especially inappropriate. Agree the evaluation metric, sample preparation and reporting before comparison, not just equipment ranges.

CPA documentation lists optical size/shape analysis, feeding control and optional automation accessories. Automatic sampling and ultrasonic dispersion require configuration confirmation and are not assumed standard.[3]

Turn the task into a configuration checklist

For acceptance against an existing sieve specification, check mesh, dry/wet operation, sample quantity and method. For morphology, check image outputs and applicable size. For batch traceability, check storage, reports and permissions.

Recording functionality does not automatically satisfy all quality-system requirements. Confirm sample suitability, equipment and method separately. Without common-sample comparison data, this article does not rank speed or accuracy.
