1.0 INTRODUCTION:

This manual applies to Serial Number SS-1812 and higher.
For older units, request manual for your serial number;
or convert to current design by ordering parts numbered
4P through 8P from this manual.

2.0 UNPACKING & SETUP:

1. The SS-8R and SS-12R weigh approximately 135lb

and 162lb, respectively. Use appropriate equipment
and manpower to uncrate the sieve shaker. Wear
safety glasses and work gloves.

2. In most instances, the simplest method of uncrating

is to cut the carton away from the machine. Leave the
carton intact as far as possible so that it can be used
to return the machine if necessary.

3. Lift machine from skids and carton, using appropriate

equipment to lift the machine onto a substantial, solid
work surface.

4. Lay the sieve shaker on its side to install the leveling

legs. Turn the legs into the threaded holes in the bot­tom corners of the outer case. Turn the legs all the
way in at this point. Set the sieve shaker upright. Level
the machine by adjusting the legs until the machine
is level and rigid.

8. Place the Sieve Shaker on a substantial, solid work
surface sufficient to provide support for this size ma­chine.

9. Re-level prior to operating.

3.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

Please read understand all safety and operating instruc­tions for the Gilson Sieve Shaker before putting it into
service.

The Gilson Sieve Shaker efficiently separates most free­flowing materials with particle sizes from No.4 to No.635
(4.75mm to 20µm). Performance on extended size ranges
can be determined by experimentation. The test speci­men should be large enough to be representative, without
overloading any individual sieve. Overloading may result
in incomplete separation or damage to the sieve cloth.
Maximum loading for individual sieves No.4 and smaller
should be about 200g for 8in sieves and about 450g for
12in sieves. Sieves larger than No.4 should be limited to
about one particle of material for each available opening.

Gilson’s innovative EZ-Clamp System quickly secures
sieve stacks of varying heights. This system with integral
sieve cover greatly enhances efficiency when testing
multiple samples or using more than one sieve stack.

Further leveling will likely be required once the sieve

shaker is fully assembled and ready for operation.
Re-level when you move the sieve shaker, when
the material in the sieves does not remain evenly
distributed, or when the machine becomes unstable
in operation.

5. Mount threaded clamp rods (#2R) by placing jam nut
ends into the tapped holes in the platform until threads
are flush with the platform bottom. Tighten jam nut to
platform to hold clamp rods.

6. Remove the round spacers from the knobs by slightly
pushing on push buttons and removing the spacers.
Holding both push buttons, install lid assembly by
placing the knobs upon the clamp rods. Once the lid
assembly is in desired location, release the push but­tons and the assembly will remain in desired location.

7. Place the acorn nuts (#1) on the top of the clamp rods
(#2R) and tighten until secure.

NOTE: Before conducting a test, confirm that the
Sieve Shaker has been set-up and leveled properly
in accordance with paragraph 4 of the Unpacking
and Set-Up instructions. Readjust if necessary.

3.1 Sieve Stack & EZ-Clamp Assembly

1. Push the buttons on the knobs. The EZ-Clamp as­sembly will slide freely up or down the clamping rods.
When the buttons are released, the assembly will
remain in that position.

2. Position the assembly slightly higher than the height
of the sieve stack.

3. Place the sieve stack on the platform. Push the but­tons on the knobs and slide the EZ-Clamp assembly
down firmly against the top sieve.

4. Tighten both knobs to securely clamp the sieve stack
in place.

Page 4

Gilson Company, Inc. Gilson Sieve Shaker: SS-8R & SS-12R

5. When the test is complete, unscrew the knobs enough
to release tension on the stack, then push the but­tons and raise the assembly to the desired height to
remove the sieves.

3.2 Timer Set-Up & Operation

This unit is equipped with an easy-to-operate Gilson
interval count-down timer. The timer has a large 0.6in
LED display and will operate in four different modes. It is
powered by line voltage and will work on power supplies
from 100—265 VAC, 50/60Hz, with up to 20 amps Induc­tive or Resistive current.

NOTE: The main device controlled by the timer may
be restricted to operating on a more limited electrical
supply range. Check the device carefully to insure
compatibility with your electrical supply.

Current timer mode is indicated by the four red LED’s on
the timer face:

• A = MMSS (99min:59sec x 1 second)

• B = HHMM (99hr:59min x 1 minute)

• C = SSSS (9999sec x 1 second)

• D = MMMM (9999min x 1 minute)

(H is for hours, M for minutes, and S for seconds.) To
adjust the timer mode, press and hold both <UP> and
<DOWN> keys at the same time until the display shows
the mode. Once the mode letters are displayed, press
<UP> or <DOWN> to change modes. Press <START/
STOP> to accept new mode.

To set the run time, press either <UP> or <DOWN>. The
first digit on the right hand side will flash in half-second
intervals. Press either arrow key to adjust to the desired
value. To enter the displayed digit and move to the next,
press <START/STOP>. Once the last digit on the left is
entered, the timer is ready to start.

Press <START/STOP> to initiate the current run program.
Once running, pressing <START/STOP> again will pause
the timer with the current amount of time remaining on
screen. When allowed to time-out, the timer beeps and
displays DONE. Press any key to continue. Setting and
Mode values are saved automatically and restored on
power-up.

Perform your test. Time required to complete a test will vary
depending upon the physical characteristics of the test
material. Most separations will be complete in ten minutes
or less. Refer to your test specifications, and be consistent.

Disconnect and lock out power to the Sieve Shaker when
it is not in use.

NOTE: The SS-8R and SS-12R Sieve Shakers are
equipped with a tapping mechanism which makes
a loud noise. If the noise is unacceptable, consider
using the SSA-805R Sound Compartment.

Models SS-8R and SS-12R are counterbalanced to permit
free-standing operation with most common sieve loadings.
With very tall or very short sieve stacks, the units may be
unstable and move around during operation. Normally this
condition occurs only with sieve stacks exceeding about 20in
(508mm) in height. This is equivalent to using more than eight
sieves and pan of 2-1/8in stacking height. If you need to use
tall sieve stacks, and your sieve shaker moves around, try
re-leveling. If stability is a problem with short sieve stacks,
add extra nonfunctional sieves below an extended-rim pan.

NOTE: Bolting the machine down is not a substitute
for leveling. Bolting the shaker down will cause forces
from the unbalanced sieve stack to damage the drive
mechanism. This damage is not covered by warranty.

When using 8in sieves on the Model SS-12R, always use
the platform adapter to compensate for the difference
in sieve weights. This adapter can be used with either
a regular or an extended-rim pan. When the adapter is
positioned with larger I.D. side up, you can use either pan.
Invert the adapter for a tighter fit if using only an extended
rim pan. Secure the ring to the sieve platform with the two
cap screws provided.

4.0 MAINTENANCE:

Before performing maintenance or repairs on the sieve
shaker, ALWAYS read and understand the safety, operat-
ing, and maintenance instructions.

Please provide the serial number and model number of
the unit when ordering replacement parts.

4.1 Routine Annual Maintenance

1. Apply of a few drops of oil to the motor end bearings.

2. Inspect the drive belt for wear, tension, and alignment.

A worn, loose, tight, or misaligned drive belt can affect

operation of the sieve shaker.

Page 5

Gilson Company, Inc. Gilson Sieve Shaker: SS-8R & SS-12R

The belt should be snug: Neither too tight nor too

loose. A snug fit assures longer life, less bearing wear,
and quieter operation than a belt which is too tight. A
loose drive belt may cause the unit to run too slowly
or in spurts. The drive belt should deflect 1/64 of the
value of the span of the pulleys. The pulleys should
be aligned to avoid excessive edge wear.

Never force or pry the belt over the pulley flanges.

Use disassembly steps 1-3.

3. Every two years or whenever disassembled, grease

the thrust bearing (#13) and the face of the cam (#31).
Perform disassembly steps 1-7 to access these parts.

4.2 Disassembly

1. Disconnect and lock out the power supply.

2. Locate the four cover-mounting screws, and remove
them. Remove right (timer side) section of the cover.

Inside the left cover section, locate two more mounting

screws on the cover flanges. Remove these screws
and the left section of the cover.

5.0 TROUBLESHOOTING:

Unit Fails to Operate:

Check motor, electrical connections, and timer. Replace
or reconnect as necessary. Check drive belt tension;
replace belt if worn.

Unit Runs, but Fails to Give Impact Tapping:

Remove covers, drive belt and mounting capscrews (#16).
Replace or reconnect hammer springs (#23) as required.

Unit Operates but is Excessively Noisy:

Disassemble through Step 4. Check resilient faces on
bumper block (#20) and replace block if necessary.

Unit is Unstable; Shakes or Walks Too Much:
a. Readjust level via leveling legs, and lock with lock nuts.

b. For Model SS-12R, be sure that weighted platform

adapter is used when using 8in diameter sieves.

c. Loosen and re-clamp the sieve stack.

d. Check sieve stack height. If over 20in, see Operating

Instructions.

3. Loosen the four motor mounting bolts. Motor will slide
toward the left side of the machine, loosening tension
on the belt so that you can remove it.

4. Remove the four mounting cap screws (#16) from the
mounting plate (#17), and lift the entire unit out of its
case.

5. Unhook the two hammer springs (#23).

6. Remove the connecting link nuts (#41) and links (#40).

7. Remove the hammer post capscrews (#25), actuator
link screws (#36), bumper block capscrews (#20), and
lock ring (#19). Now you can lift the sieve platform
with main shaft out of its center housing (#15).

8. If you remove the cam shaft hangers (#27) for any
reason, reassemble exactly as removed. The roller
clutch block (#33) and one cam shaft hanger (#27)
contain overrunning clutches which must be installed
to allow correct rotation of the cam shaft (#29), or
serious damage will result.

Main bearings have permanent lubrication and are

sealed inside the main housing (#15). This main hous­ing with bearings and hub should not be disassembled
in the field; replace them as a unit if necessary.

8.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

8.1 Gilson Test Sieves

Gilson stocks the widest range and largest quantity of
sieves of any major supplier. Immediate shipment is
available for all popular sizes. Custom sieves with special
diameters and stacking heights are also available.

ASTM Sieves meet the requirements of ASTM E 11. ISO
Sieves meet ISO 565 specifications with tolerances to
ISO 3310-1. All are serial numbered and supplied with a
certificate of manufacturing conformance.

ASTM and ISO Test Sieves are categorized in three
different classes.

• Compliance Test Sieves are supplied with a basic
certificate of manufacturing conformance. All Gilson Test
Sieves meet Compliance grade requirements.

• Inspection Test Sieves have a specified number of
openings measured and reported for each sieve.

• Calibration Test Sieves have two to three times as
many openings measured on each sieve, and are
supplied with more detailed documentation.

Mesh Opening

Opening Sizes are listed using standard millimeter (mm)
or micrometer (µm) descriptions, as well as traditional
inch and number designations where appropriate. Gilson
offers all mesh sizes, but not all sizes are available in

every frame diameter. Common coarse sizes are also
listed. Normally, every second or fourth size is used,
although precision testing may require consecutive sizes.
Additional sieves are often inserted into the sequence to
avoid overloading of individual sieves or to better define
a particular size range.

ISO Sieve Cloth can be mounted in 8in (203mm) frames
when special-ordered. These items are nonreturnable
when supplied as ordered.

Frame Diameter

Frames should accommodate the entire sample volume
with enough surface area to avoid overloading individual
sieves. The diameter selected must also fit the sieve
shaker being used. Gilson stocks most common sizes.
Inquire for custom sizes.

Frame Height

Sieve frames are designated as Full-Height or Half­Height. Intermediate-Height sieves are also available
for 3in and 12in diameters. Half or Intermediate-Height
frames allow a greater number of sieves to be used when
stack height is limited. Full-Height frames allow free
movement of larger particles during agitation for more
efficient separation. ISO Test Sieves are fitted with black
rubber O-Rings.

Frame and Cloth Material

• Stainless Steel Frame with Stainless Steel Cloth assures
a sieve with the longest possible service life. This is the

best choice where contamination, sanitation or extreme

wear is an issue.

• Brass Frame with Stainless Steel Cloth is a popular choice
that offers extended service and cost-effectiveness.

• Brass Frame with Brass Cloth is economical for light­duty applications. Coarse-series sieves are not available
with brass cloth.

Backing Cloth

Back-up cloth prevents sagging or tearing of expensive
fine stainless steel mesh. Unsatisfactory service life from
a sieve would suggest replacement by a sieve built with
backing cloth. To order, add the code “BU” to the model
number of the sieve. These sieves are made-to-order,
have longer delivery times and are non-returnable.

Pans and Covers

• Pans collect fines at the bottom of the sieve stack.
Extended-Rim pans are also available to insert into the
middle of a stack, allowing two samples to be tested at
once.

•

Covers are not necessary with most Gilson sieve shakers,
but may be needed if using a different shaker or shaking
by hand. The Cover-with-Ring has a wire finger loop in the
center to facilitate removal.

Gilson Sieve Verification Services

Gilson Verification can be performed on any test sieve
or Gilson screen tray, used or new. These services are
ordered by specifying the appropriate model number given
in our listing for Test Sieve and Screen Tray Verification
and Services. An optical comparator with NIST traceable
calibration measures opening sizes and wire diameters
on each sieve, and a statistical analysis assures the
standard deviations are within ASTM or ISO requirements
for Inspection or Calibration grades. Sieves, trays, or
wire cloth units are not included in the purchase price of
the verification services. Because wire cloth stretches,
sags, or tears, and abrasive materials can reduce wire
diameters, a verification process should also be set
up to regularly verify that working sieves still meet the
specifications. These measurements can be taken directly
using calipers or an optical comparator, by testing with
Standard Reference Materials, or by returning to Gilson
for Re-Verification. To verify used sieves, contact a Gilson
customer service representative for shipping instructions.

Standard Reference Materials (SRM’s)

Sieve Reference Materials are precision glass beads
or powders for performance testing of sieves. They
are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST), or European Community Bureau of
Reference (BCR). SRM’s fit easily into internal quality
programs following guidelines in ASTM E 2427, Sieve

Page 10

Acceptance by Performance Testing. User-Prepared
Reference Materials can also be utilized under E 2427
in the same manner as SRM’s. Because user materials
are non-standard, they are not traceable and require
much more handling. In addition, the user must determine
acceptable tolerances for statistical analysis.

Sieve Shakers
The proper sieve shaker saves considerable time and
effort, and yields superior accuracy, consistency, and
repeatability compared to manual shaking methods for
particle sizing. Effective agitation lifts all particles off
the sieve cloth, reorients them, and allows them to be
repeatedly “tried” to different openings at different angles.
Careful review of shaker specifications allows optimal
choices for different materials and applications. Greater
sample volumes and large particle topsize may indicate
selection of Gilson Test-Master®, Testing Screen or Porta­Screen® models for efficient processing.

8.2 Test Sieve & Screen Tray Verification & Services

There have been extensive revisions to the newest
version of ASTM standard E 11, Specification for Wire
Cloth and Sieves for Testing Purposes. Gilson is leading
the way in educating our customers about the new
specification and making these new products available.
The new specification affects all test sieves, screen trays,
and wire cloth, and changes the way the mesh openings
are evaluated by looking at the statistical distribution
of aperture sizes, rather than just the average opening
sizes. In addition to a more accurate and reliable system
of evaluation, the new system also allows compatibility
with ISO 565 and 3310-1 requirements. There are now
three grades, or classes of ASTM or ISO test sieves
available; Compliance, Inspection and Calibration.

• Compliance Test Sieves are manufactured with wire
cloth that has been inspected and measured in roll
or sheet quantities prior to being cut and mounted
in the individual sieve frames. Opening sizes are
not measured in individual sieves. Each Compliance
sieve is supplied with a certificate of manufacturing
compliance, but no statistical documentation is given.
Compliance sieves are designed for applications where
a basic, reliable degree of accuracy and repeatability
are sufficient.

• Inspection Test Sieves have a specified number of
openings measured in each sieve after the cloth is
mounted in the frame. There is a 99% confidence level
that the standard deviation of these openings is within
the maximum allowed by ASTM. Inspection Sieves
are a good choice in applications where accuracy and
repeatability are critical. Each Inspection Sieve consists
of a Compliance Sieve with added Inspection Sieve
Verification service.

Gilson Company, Inc. Gilson Sieve Shaker: SS-8R & SS-12R

• Calibration Test Sieves have about twice as many
openings measured as Inspection Sieves. The
higher number of openings measured on each sieve
increases the confidence level to 99.73% that the
standard deviation of these openings is within the
maximum allowed by ASTM. Calibration Sieves should
be used in applications where a very high degree of
accuracy is required. Each Calibration Sieve consists
of a compliance sieve with added Calibration Sieve
Verification service.

New Gilson Test Sieves are guaranteed to meet the
requirements of ASTM or ISO for Compliance, Inspection or
Calibration grades as ordered, but for continued assurance
of performance, procedures should be in place to regularly
check working sieves as they age. Wire cloth stretches,
sags, or even tears, and abrasive materials reduce wire
diameter, causing an increase in opening size and loss of
accuracy over time.

These same verification services are also available
for screen trays used in Gilson Testing Screens, Test­Master®, Porta-Screen® and Gilso-Matic® machines.

Gilson Reverification Services can be performed
on used ASTM or ISO Test Sieves or Screen Trays.
An optical comparator with NIST traceable calibration
measures opening and wire diameter sizes on each sieve.
Certification reports are produced for the appropriate
grade. These services are available for all ASTM and ISO
sieve sizes and types, and are ordered by specifying model
numbers for Inspection Sieve Verification, or Calibration
Sieve Verification. Sieves are not included in the purchase
price. When verifying used sieves, contact a Gilson
customer service representative for shipping instructions.

Master-Matched Sieves are ASTM 8in diameter stainless

woven-wire sieves from No.8 (2.36mm) to No.325 (45µm)
that have been measured and shown to closely match a
set of master sieves maintained by Gilson in a reference
laboratory. Master-Matched Sieves from Gilson are always
matched to the same master set, assuring that one sieve
is very close to another. Master-Matched Sieves are also
certified to meet ASTM E 11, so additional verification is
not normally necessary. Master-Matching is done using
special standard reference materials, sized for each sieve.
Each sieve is performance tested to insure it yields ±2%
by weight of the value of the master sieve.

Ordering
All Gilson test sieves meet ASTM or ISO requirements for
Compliance Test Sieves. Ordering additional verification
services for each individual sieve upgrades them to meet
Inspection or Calibration specifications.

Description Model

EZ-Clamp Upgrade Kit replaces the original clamping assemblies on older Gilson Tapping Sieve

Shakers. Knurled knobs with push-but ton release, and slide freely up and down the clamp rods for
smooth, easy clamping. Once in position, a quick twist tightly secures the sieve stack. When the test
is complete, push the EZ-Clamp button and raise just enough to remove the stack. Upon release
of the button, the clamps stay in place, ready for the next test. EZ-Clamp kits include free-sliding
push-button knobs, an integral sieve cover and new clamp rods.

Gilson Sound Enclosure controls noise and dust associated with SS -8R and SS-12R Sieve
Shakers and other lab eq uipment. Sturdy painted steel case with full-widt h hinged doors is line d with
1in (25.4mm) of sound-attenuating foam. Outside Dimensions: 31x19x46in (800x500x1,200mm),
WxDxH. Est. Ship Wt.: 75lb (34kg).

Clean-N-Stor accessories are handy, time-saving devices for emptying, cleaning and weighing
functions associated with sieving operations. Inverting an 8in or 20 0mm sieve on the stainless
steel funnel allows quick emptying and cleaning of contents into a receiving scoop or pan. A
sieve stack can also be stored on top of the funnel. A scoop and soft-bristle cleaning brush are
included with all models. The SSA-801 attaches to the top of the SS-8R case. SSA-802 is a
stand-alone model that can be positioned directly over an electronic balance, so sieve fractions
can be weighed as the sieve is being cleaned. OBA-15R is an adjustable-height Clean-N-Stor
version designed to fit over taller balances.

Platform Adapters permit smaller diameter sieves to be used in SS-8R and SS-12R Gilson

Tapping Sieve Shakers. Each adapter is designed to compensate for weight differences as well
as frame diameter. SSA-810 and SSA-811 fit either sieve shaker, and must be used in conjunction
with the included adapter when using with the SS-12R. The SSA-812 for 10in (254mm) sieves is
for use with the SS-12R only.
