Design, Construction and Testing of a Dry Sand Sieving Machine
Ogunwole, Oladeji Akanni
Abstract
This paper reports on the design, construction and Testing of a dry sand sieving
machine. The sample to be sieved is uniformly graded. The coefficient of uniformity is 1.11, thus the
machine design does not sieve larger particles such as gravel. The slip calculated is 36% which
enabled the proper configuration of the V-belt. The theoretical efficiency of the machine calculated
is 97%.
