It incorporates many features usually found only on larger, more expensive models. It is ideal for the use in laboratories and a plant since it is compact and genuinely portable (weighing only 16 kg). The sieve stack is held firmly in position by a clamping belt system. Removing it allows the whole unit to be stored in a space less than 200 mm high. There are no rotating parts in the Minor 200 ­consequently it is quiet in operation and maintenance free.
Advantages
Electromagnetic drive for quiet and virtually maintenance free operation
Compact and portable (weighing only 16 kg)
Requires only small storage space due to small footprint
Easily removable clamping belt system (included)
Easy to use
Different voltages available
Complies with the requirements of AASHTO T 27
The Minor 200 is not recommended for any wet sieving operations!
Do not make any changes to the machine and use only spare parts and
accessories approved by Endecotts Ltd.
The declaration of conformity to the European directives by Endecotts
will otherwise lose its validity.
Furthermore this will result in the loss of any kind of guarantee claims.

Setting Up
Electrical connections
Ensure that the voltage and frequency on the rating label, at the rear of the shaker, correspond with the local electrical mains supply.
Connect the Minor 200 to the power supply using the connection cable
provided.
Do not connect to any other supply other than stated on the rating label,
otherwise electrical and mechanical components can be damaged.
Ambient temperature: 5°C to 40°C
If the ambient temperature is exceeded or drops below the specified value
the electrical and mechanical components may become damaged and the
performance data can change to an unknown degree.
Atmospheric humidity:
Maximum relative humidity 80% at temperatures up to 31°C, with linear reduction down to 50% relative humidity at 40°C.
At high atmospheric humidity the electrical and mechanical components
may become damaged and the performance data can change to an unknown degree.
Mains power connection
Mains power connection with integral line filter. Ensure the IEC connector on the mains lead is pushed fully into the mains inlet at the rear of the machine.
L.E.D (Mains Connected Indication)
This is a green L.E.D that indicates electrical power is connected to the equipment. The L.E.D is illuminated when the IEC connector is pushed fully into the inlet and power is switched on at the local outlet. If the L.E.D fails to light with the local outlet switch in the ON position then the fuse (see “Fuse holder”) has blown or power is not present at the mains.
Fuse (Fuse Holder)
The fuse is a ceramic fuse. It is important that the recommended current rating is not exceeded and the fuse is replaced with the same type and size. If the fuse blows after replacement then a fault exists in the equipment which must be rectified.

1. Setting up
Process Timer
The process timer is a mechanical 0-60 minute timer which also provides continuous running if desired. Operating periods are increased by rotating clockwise and decreased by rotating anticlockwise (the timer will commence timing down as soon as the knob is released, regardless of electrical power being connected or not). When the knob is turned anti-clockwise from off position to the continuous running mark, the shaker will continue running until the knob is returned to the off position.
Start-up and commissioning
The shaker should be set up according to the following procedure.
The following items should be removed from the case and checked before the shaker is operated (Take care the shaker weighs 16 kg):
1 off Set-up Instructions.
1 off Instruction Manual.
1 off Mains Cable.
1 off Clamp Plate Assembly.
1 off Minor Shaker fitted with Clamping Straps and Buckles.
Position the shaker on a level, rigid and robust bench, suitable for the operation of the sieve shaker. Being placed on a level surface ensures symmetrical distribution of the sample over the sieves, during operation.
Operating Instructions
1. Place the receiver centrally on the location plate..
2. Stack the required test sieves on top of the receiver (min. 1x receiver + 2x sieves + 1x lid).
3. Put the sample in the top sieve and fit the lid.
In order to guarantee exact results under fast sieving conditions, the quantity of material to be sieved should be adapted to the sieve diameter and the nominal mesh size. More detail information is displayed in our “TEST SIEVING MANUAL”.
4. Place the clamp plate on top of the sieve stack.
5. Raise the clamping latch lever upwards to expose the latch hook.

Do not over tension. The clamping latch lever will remain in the raised position 20-30 degrees from the vertical when partially tensioned. Repeat these actions for the second clamping latch.
6. Press both levers down, closing the latches to clamp the sieve
stack. Do not use excessive force, it may be necessary to loosen the straps slightly to secure.
7. Repeat previous action to release or increase tension in the strap as necessary to ensure a firm
grip!
The Endecotts Minor 200 sieve shaker is maintenance free other than keeping external surfaces clean.
Cleaning - The machine can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth using a solution of water and a mild liquid detergent. Do not use any solvents for cleaning
Fuse - Should a fuse require replacement this must be of the identical type and rating as the original! The rating of the fuse is marked on a label above the fuse. Disconnect from the mains supply. Remove the blown fuse and place the new fuse in.
Do not over tighten
Damage may occur if the shaker is allowed to operate with a loose clamping plate.
Endecotts machines are fully tested and factory checked before shipping to customers. No parts require lubrication or resetting unless disturbed. The sieve shaker has been constructed and factory tested to ensure correct operation when connected to the specified electricity supply indicated on the machines rating label.
All replacement parts must be ordered by quoting the shaker serial number and the correct part number. Use of unapproved spares or any alteration to the machine would invalidate all warranties and compliance with the European directives for ‘CE’ marking.

Wet sieving
The Wet Sieving Adaptor Kit is supplied as an optional extra for 200 mm or 8” diameter sieves and should be ordered separately.
The Wet Sieving Adaptor Kit consists of the following items:
1 off Special Wet Sieving Clamp Plate.
1 Set off O-ring Seals (One required for
each sieve in the stack.)
1 off Special Wet Sieving Receiver with a spout.
(Specify for 200 mm or 8” diameter sieves )
The O-ring seals are fitted on to the outside of the bottom rim of each sieve, which means the
sieves are stacked onto each other and they form a seal.
The bottom sieve is placed on the special receiver with a spout. A nylon hose tail must be fitted and must have a suitable length of hose fitted to drain into a convenient drainage point. Fit a suitable length of hose to the spout to drain into a convenient drainage point.
The clamp plate is usually supplied with the rose reversed to avoid damage. Undo and reverse, so that the rose head is on the inside. Remove the lid from the sieve stack and replace the standard clamp plate with the wet sieving clamp plate. Fit a suitable length of hose to the inlet of the rose on the clamp plate and connect to the fluid supply with flow regulation.
Never operate your Sieve shaker directly in water. Danger through current surge.
During wet sieving always operate your Sieve shaker connected to a mains socket protected by an FI protective (safety) switch.
The water quantity added should always be dosed in such a way that the sieve surface is only just wetted.

Wet sieving
The Wet Sieving Adaptor Kit is supplied as an optional extra for 200 mm or 8” diameter sieves and should be ordered separately.
The Wet Sieving Adaptor Kit consists of the following items:
1 off Special Wet Sieving Clamp Plate.
1 Set off O-ring Seals (One required for
each sieve in the stack.)
1 off Special Wet Sieving Receiver with a spout
(Specify for 200 mm or 8” diameter sieves )
The O-ring seals are fitted on to the outside of the bottom rim of each sieve, which means the
sieves are stacked onto each other and they form a seal.
The bottom sieve is placed on the special receiver with a spout. A nylon hose tail must be fitted and must have a suitable length of hose fitted to drain into a convenient drainage point. Fit a suitable length of hose to the spout to drain into a convenient drainage point.
The clamp plate is usually supplied with the rose reversed to avoid damage. Undo and reverse, so that the rose head is on the inside. Remove the lid from the sieve stack and replace the standard clamp plate with the wet sieving clamp plate. Fit a suitable length of hose to the inlet of the rose on the clamp plate and connect to the fluid supply with flow regulation.
Never operate your Sieve shaker directly in water. Danger through current surge.
During wet sieving always operate your Sieve shaker connected to a mains socket protected by an FI protective (safety) switch.
The water quantity added should always be dosed in such a way that the sieve surface is only just wetted.

SIEVING MACHINE MODEL: Air Sizer 200
General Information
The Air Sizer 200 has an air nozzle, which is set rotating. The sieve with a Plexiglas lid is put on top of that. A vacuum unit generates a jet of air, which disperses the particles through the air nozzle on the sieve.
The material, which is smaller than the mesh size of the air jet sieve, is transported by the backflow of the air into the filter unit or directly into the vacuum cleaner. The jet of air de-agglomerates the particles and cleans the sieve mesh constantly.
The Air Sizer 200 is specially designed for the dry sieving and the particle size determination of fine-grained, dry, pourable and dispersed bulk materials. The sieve holder is suitable for 8“(203 mm) diameter test sieves (premium air jet sieves)
Advantages
Compact and portable (weighing only 14 kg)
Requires only small storage space due to small footprint
The device is essentially maintenance free if cleaned regularly
Easy to use
Ideal for electrostatic materials
Wide range voltage supply
Can reduce the average sieving times in samples with a high fine fraction
Variable vacuum control
The Air Sizer 200 is not recommended for any wet sieving operations!

1. Setting up
The transit bolts are fixed to the underneath of the device. Use a 13 mm wrench to attach and remove the four screws.
Place the EFL 300 on a stable floor, since otherwise unpleasant vibrations will be
transmitted. Being placed on a level surface ensures symmetrical distribution of the sample
over the sieves, during operation.
Unscrew the two hexagon screws (transit bolts) on the bottom of the sieve shaker with
an open ended spanner until the sieve plate is movable.
Keep hexagon screws (transit bolts) for possible transport at a later date.
IMPORTANT
If the machine is operated with the transit bolts
, or is transported without
transit bolts, mechanical components may become damaged.
Reusing transit bolts
Dismount the clamping unit.

Operating Instructions
1. Place the receiver centrally on the location plate in the appropriate recess.
2. Stack the required test sieves on top of the receiver (min. 1x receiver + 2x sieves + 1x lid).
3. Put the sample in the top sieve and fit the lid
In order to guarantee exact results under fast sieving conditions, the quantity of material to be sieved should be adapted to the sieve diameter and the nominal mesh size. More detailed information is displayed in our “TEST SIEVING MANUAL”.
4. Align the locking assemblies in figure 1 the two side lugs of the clamp plate with the round
clamp rods. Slide the clamp plate down squarely onto the lid at the top of the sieve stack.
Ensure that the clamping hand wheels at the top (figure 2) are loose and the locking assemblies are fully pushed down. There should be a 5mm gap between the large plain washer and the face of the hand wheel.

Place one hand on the top of the clamp plate (figure 3) and hold square while locking one side handle lever. Repeat for the opposite side handle lever.
The side handle levers can be set vertically downwards by pressing on the Red button and pulling the handle outwards to release (figure 4). Turn the handle to a safe, convenient angle downwards and release to engage the teeth. Screw the two clamping hand wheels down simultaneously to ensure the clamping plate is square.
Continue until the hand wheels are tight against the internal stop. Hand tightness must be exerted so that the assembly does not loosen during vibration.
The locking side handle levers and clamping hand wheels must be tightened sufficiently to ensure that the sieves and receiver are clamped securely during operation.

Wet sieving
The Wet Sieving Adaptor Kit is supplied as an optional extra for 300mm or 12” diameter sieves and should be ordered separately.
The Wet Sieving Adaptor Kit consists of the following items:
1 off Special Wet Sieving Clamp Plate.
1 Set off O-ring Seals (One required for
each sieve in the stack.)
1 off Special Wet Sieving Receiver with a spout
(Specify for 300 mm or 12” diameter sieves )
The O-ring seals are fitted on to the outside of the bottom rim of each sieve, which means the
sieves are stacked onto each other and they form a seal.
The bottom sieve is placed on the special receiver with a spout. A nylon hose tail must be fitted and must have a suitable length of hose fitted to drain into a convenient drainage point. Fit a suitable length of hose to the spout to drain into a convenient drainage point.
The clamp plate is usually supplied with the rose reversed to avoid damage. Undo and reverse, so that the rose head is on the inside. Remove the lid from the sieve stack and replace the standard clamp plate with the wet sieving clamp plate. Fit a suitable length of hose to the inlet of the rose on the clamp plate and connect to the fluid supply with flow regulation.
Never operate your Sieve shaker directly in water. Danger through current surge.
During wet sieving always operate your Sieve shaker connected to a mains socket protected by an FI protective (safety) switch.
The water quantity added should always be dosed in such a way that the sieve surface is only just wetted.

General Information
Use of Sieves
Wherever solid materials are handled or processed, test sieves find application. In laboratory or plant these simple precision
instruments are invaluable.
Test sieves are used, for example, by chemists
and pharmacists, physicists and geologists, chemical
and civil engineers, mining and
metallurgical engineers.
The uses to which test sieves are put are as
many and varied as the types of people who use
them. Most solid raw materials and
finished product specifications contain a clause which
stipulates the range of the size
spread or the maximum or minimum size in terms of some standard sieve series Some typical applications are as follows: the sizing of chemical and pharmaceutical crystals
and
powders; the grading of coal and ores; determining the efficiency of a crusher; grinder or
industrial
screening unit; cement testing; classifying silt, soil, sand, gravel and other materials
encountered in
civil engineering work; checking the state of a fluidised catalyst in an oil
refinery.
Test Sieves Available from Endecotts
Laboratory Test Sieves
All test sieves manufactured to a National or International Specification are supplied with a Certificate of Compliance, and are individually serial numbered giving full traceability.
Calibrated Test Sieves
Test sieves inspected and calibrated in accordance of ISO 3310 (BS:410). Each sieve is supplied with a Calibration Certificate recording the number of apertures and wire diameters measured, the average aperture size and
standard deviation separately for the warp and weft directions. The type
of weave will also be stated.
Re-Examination Service
Used sieves are examined and inspected in accordance with the appropriate specification. Complying sieves are issued with a Compliance, Inspection or Calibration Certificate, as requested by the customer.

Evaluation Software: SieveWare
General Information
SieveWare, the software for particle size analyses, exceeds manual evaluation in many aspects, due to the fact that the software is able to automatically control the necessary measurement and weighing procedures - from the registration of the weight of the sieve up to the evaluation of the data.
Advantages
Automatic registration, evaluation and administration of measurement data
Logical, self-explanatory interface
Measurement protocol in accordance with different standards
Complex transformation into charts and tables
Data link to different measurement instruments
Automatic detection and configuration of common analytical scales
Comprehensive data export
Comprehensive help texts and detailed manual

Application evaluation of sieve analysis
Function
1. Parameter entry
All available parameters (such as sieve stack configuration, dead weight of the sieve, sieve shaker settings) as well as the characteristics, which may have to be calculated, can be entered.
2. Sieve analysis
The program accepts automatic and manual data entries from both scale and sieve system. The Octagon 200CL can be automatically controlled with SieveWare via RS232 communication. After the sieve analysis is completed, the loaded sieves are reweighed. By determining the weight difference, the program automatically detects the mass proportions and assigns them accordingly to the corresponding fractions.
3. Evaluation
SieveWare calculates all common particle distributions as well as the characteristic values of the particle size, thus making it possible to present the results in standard presentation forms, such as tables and charts. Cumulative throughput or residual values, distribution density and histograms can be included in the standard particle size distributions.
4. Data export
All measured data can be printed, saved and exported as tables and charts.
