Stacking screen
A stacking sieve is a stack of sieves whose mesh size becomes smaller and smaller from top to bottom. A catch basin forms the end. A stacking sieve consists of at least two sieves.
Stacking sieves are used to separate loose mixed materials and for sieve analysis . Since the sieves (viewed from top to bottom) are getting finer and finer, the coarsest material remains in the top sieve , the next finer in the next sieve, etc. until the finest material ends up in the collecting basin.
Examples
Stacking sieves are z. It is used, for example, to sort potatoes according to their size, to wash gold or to filter seeds out of fruit clusters.
