Sieving, Sifting & Sizing Applications

Precision Wire Mesh & Wire Cloth for Sieving, Sifting & Sizing

Dorstener Wire tech manufactures wire cloth for sieving, sifting & sizing applications. For the characterization of bulk goods of different forms and sizes, the knowledge of their particle size distributions is essential. The particle size distribution, i.e. the number of particles of different sizes, is responsible for important physical and chemical properties such as solubility, flowability and surface reaction.

In many industries such as food, pharmaceutics and chemistry traditional sieve analysis is the standard for production and quality control of powders and granules. Advantages of the sieve analysis include easy handling, low investment costs, precise and reproducible results in a comparably short time and the possibility to separate the particle size fractions. Therefore, this method is an accepted alternative to analysis methods using laser light or image processing.

From sieving brewer’s yeast in breweries, the sizing of coffee beans, the removal of oversized lumps and particles, the separation of curds and whey in cheese production to the coarse cleaning of fluids, DWT screens offer solutions for a wide range wire cloth sieving, sifting & sizing processes and procedures.

Choosing the right screen is almost as important as choosing the right industrial separation equipment. Dorstener Wire Tech has revolutionized the screening world by providing high quality precision mesh to the leading US manufacturers of industrial separation equipment. You can depend on Dorstener Wire Tech for precision wire cloth for your sieving, sifting & sizing applications.

Sieving, Sifting & Sizing Applications

Here are some examples of the sieving, sifting & sizing applications that Dorstener metal is used for:

Here is an example of sieving. To sieve is to separate a mixture. A vibrating screen “shale shaker” on an oil drilling rig sieves drilling fluids, called mud, from the drill bit cuttings circulated up and out of the well bore. The fluid is then circulated back down the well bore to cool the bit and bring more cuttings to the surface.
