ABSTRACT:
The invention is apparatus which can automatically make a screen analysis of a granular material. The heart of the apparatus is a polygonal drum having graded screens on each of the faces except one. This open face serves as a door for introducing a sample into the interior of the drum and for discharging any material larger than the largest screen. A gear motor and crank arrangement serves to longitudinally shake the drum and agitate the sample. A second gear motor indexes the drum from screen to screen after a predetermined shaking time. Each screen fraction is accumulated on an electronic scale with weights being determined by differential weighing. The gear motors are timed by a microprocessor which also receives screen friction weight inputs and calculates a screen analysis.
