A sieve or sifter, is a device for separating wanted elements from unwanted material or for characterizing the particle size distribution of a sample, typically using a woven screen such as a mesh.
Sifting is mainly used in two areas, Check screening of raw material to remove extraneous material and Sizing to sort, segregate or control the particle size distribution of powders and granules. Sifting is mainly achieved by used of vibratory, rotary & centrifugal screeners.
Imasives™ (FBD, FBE & FBP Sieves) - Drying is a process of removal of water or another solvent by evaporation from a solid, semi - solid mixture. Our sieves are free from toxic lead & tin metals.

· Sieves have to be specially designed to resist the high tensile stress generated. Since particle size distributions plays a vital part in drug dissolutions, maintaining the accuracy of the sieves apertures in an essential part of sieves manufacturing.
· Proper thickness of wire, accurate nominal apertures sizes, high tensile strength and tautness of the sieves are essential part of sieve for high sifting performance.
· Material of construction Stainless Steel – 316 and 316L.
· Aperture sizes – 4075 to 70 microns or mesh sizes 4# to 200# with ASTM standard being certified 90X microscope.
· Sieves are available in various sizes from 4” to 30” diameter. The most common size used 20” (550mm) & 30” (750mm) diameter.
· The silicone is food grade material, transparent in appearance.
· Nontoxic & molded on the stainless steel ring.
