Gyratory Sieve Shaker — 8-Sieve Electric for IS Grain Size Analysis

A sieve shaker is the essential motorised instrument for performing particle size distribution (PSD) analysis — also called grain size analysis or grading analysis — in civil engineering materials laboratories. Manual sieving is time-consuming, tiring and inherently variable: two operators running the same sample by hand rarely produce the same result. A gyratory sieve shaker applies consistent orbital agitation for a defined time, ensuring that particles have the maximum opportunity to pass through each aperture without breaking down, and producing reproducible results that meet IS testing standards.

The 8-sieve capacity of this machine is sufficient for the standard IS aggregate grading test (IS 383) and the IS 2720 Part 4 soil sieve analysis, which together cover the most common grading requirements for road construction, dam earthworks, concrete mix design and geotechnical investigation in Northeast India. The machine accepts standard 200 mm (8-inch) IS sieves — the universal size that all sieve sets from Multi Trade Combines are calibrated to. Timer control ensures the specified agitation duration is consistently reproduced without technician timing variations.

Sieve Analysis for Road, Dam and Infrastructure Projects in the Northeast

In stock at Multi Trade Combines, AT Road, Guwahati — ships across NE India

Northeast India's infrastructure construction — the NHAI NH-37 and NH-27 corridor improvements, NHIDCL hill road programmes, BRO strategic roads to border areas, PWD Assam PMGSY rural roads and large irrigation projects in the Brahmaputra basin — all require continuous aggregate and soil grading analysis at quality control labs. Specifying engineers and project managers check that aggregate delivered to concrete batching plants meets IS 383 grading zones, that sub-base and base-course materials meet granular sub-base (GSB) grading envelopes, and that fill soils meet the classification requirements of the geotechnical report. A sieve shaker in the project QC lab processes multiple grading tests per day efficiently. Engineering colleges and polytechnics throughout Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland and Manipur use sieve shakers in their soil mechanics and transportation engineering practicals. Multi Trade Combines supplies sieve shakers and IS sieve sets from our Guwahati counter to the entire Northeast region.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sieves can the gyratory sieve shaker hold at once?

The standard gyratory sieve shaker available from Multi Trade Combines holds up to 8 sieves in a stack, covering the full grading range for a soil, aggregate or fine material sample in a single test run. This capacity is sufficient for the IS standard sieve analyses required for aggregate grading, soil classification and cement fineness testing. Call +91 91812 13332 for specifications and pricing.

What types of sieve analysis tests require a sieve shaker?

Sieve shakers are used for grain size distribution (particle size analysis) of soils under IS 2720 Part 4, aggregate grading analysis for concrete mix design under IS 383, fine aggregate fineness modulus determination, and cement fineness checks. Manual sieving by hand introduces operator variability and fatigue — a motorised gyratory shaker ensures consistent agitation time, reproducible results and compliance with standard test durations.
