W.S. TYLER
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about W.S. TYLER from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the W.S. TYLER RX-29 and RX-94 sieve shakers?
Both the RX-29 and RX-94 are mechanical sieve shakers that accept 8-inch diameter sieves and use circular, horizontal, and vertical tapping motion. The RX-29 is a widely used model for general particle size analysis, while the RX-94 is also an 8-inch unit with similar motion characteristics. The primary differences may relate to specific motor or control features, but both are designed for consistent separation of granular materials. When selecting between them, confirm the required sieve capacity and motion parameters for your application. 3G Electric lists both models with manufacturer part numbers and specifications to aid comparison.
What sieve sizes does the W.S. TYLER RX-812 shaker accept?
The W.S. TYLER RX-812 accepts both 8-inch and 12-inch diameter test sieves. It features digital control with a 1 Hz frequency setting for consistent mechanical agitation. This model is suitable for laboratories that need flexibility in sieve diameter without changing shaker units. The RX-812 holds up to 9 full-size sieves, depending on the stack configuration. Verify that your sieve stack height and diameter are compatible with the shaker's clamping mechanism. 3G Electric provides the RX-812 with part number RX-812 and related specifications.
Are W.S. TYLER air jet test sieves compatible with standard sieve shakers?
W.S. TYLER air jet test sieves, such as the 450 micron (MPN 3540) and #500 (MPN 9202) models, have an outside diameter of 7 7/8 inches and a height of 1 5/8 inches. These dimensions are specific to air jet sieving applications and may not be compatible with mechanical shakers designed for 8-inch or 12-inch sieves. Air jet sieves are typically used with air jet sieve units that create a negative pressure to separate fine particles. Confirm the required sieve diameter and height for your air jet equipment before ordering. 3G Electric lists these sieves with frame and screen material details.
What materials are used in W.S. TYLER test sieves?
W.S. TYLER test sieves are available with stainless steel frames and screens. For example, the air jet test sieves with MPN 3540 and 9202 both feature stainless steel frame and screen construction. Stainless steel provides corrosion resistance and durability for repeated use in laboratory and industrial environments. The screens are available in various US Standard Screen Sizes, such as 450 micron and #500. When selecting a sieve, consider the material compatibility with your sample and the required aperture size. 3G Electric provides material and dimension specifications for each listed sieve.
How many sieves can a W.S. TYLER mechanical sieve shaker hold?
W.S. TYLER mechanical sieve shakers such as the RX-29-E and RX-29-E PREMIUM hold up to 9 full-size sieves. The RX-812 also holds up to 9 full-size sieves when using 8-inch or 12-inch diameter sieves. The actual number may vary based on sieve height and the use of spacers or pans. Always refer to the shaker's operating manual for maximum stack height and clamping capacity. 3G Electric lists the number of full-size sieves held for each shaker model to assist with selection.
What is the purpose of vertical tapping motion in W.S. TYLER sieve shakers?
Vertical tapping motion in W.S. TYLER sieve shakers, such as the RX-29 and RX-94, helps dislodge particles that may become wedged in the sieve openings. Combined with circular and horizontal motion, the tapping action promotes efficient particle separation and reduces blinding. This motion is particularly useful for materials that tend to agglomerate or have irregular shapes. The tapping frequency and amplitude are set by the shaker's design and are not typically user-adjustable on mechanical models. For digital control, the RX-812 offers a 1 Hz frequency setting. 3G Electric provides specifications for each shaker model.
