Two Practical Solutions to Clean Lab Sieves

Ultrasonic Sieve Cleaning

Cleaning fine mesh particle analysis lab sieves becomes more difficult as mesh size decreases, making it more likely that particles become trapped in fine sieve openings.  Manual cleaning test sieves has drawbacks including potential damage to the mesh and failure to achieve 100% particle removal.  Here are two practical solutions to clean lab sieves as well as perform other important functions in food and pharmaceutical research facilities.

Lab Sieve Cleaning Solution No. 1

One way to solve the problem is by combining the 7.5-gallon Elmasonic EP300H ultrasonic cleaner with the Elma SRH 4/200 sieve rotation holder.

Ultrasonic cavitation produced by the Elmasonic EP300 H creates billions of minute vacuum bubbles.  These implode vigorously against the surfaces of objects being cleaned to quickly and safely dislodge contaminants.

The unit operates at 37 kHz ultrasonic frequency.  Features include a heater (30⁰ – 80⁰C) and a timer (1 … Read the rest
