As the tittle says, went overboard and purchased this nice 6 set of sieves with bottom pan and lid, now my next project is to build an automated shaker.
I've got a casting from a very long time ago that was intended for a vibrating lap, a small fractional electric motor gets affixed to the base of this casting with an eccentric weight attached to the shaft which now rotates inside the cupped casting.
The cupped casting then is attached to a table top mounted on rubber mounts where the sieves will sit comfortably doing the tedious work of classifying the material coming from the ball mill.
Pretty simple Eh.
Essentially what I'll end up with is something very similar to the image below without the expensive shaker.
