The Rotary Sieve has a tapered, plastic body which fits firmly on any round container. Handle extension allows it to rest on extra large containers.

Push-in screens with molded rubber rims are interchangeable. Stainless steel screens available in the following meshes: 40#, 60#, 80#, 100#, 120#, 150# and 200# .

Either wet or dry materials can be sieved quickly. For example, dry ash can be put through a screen as fine as 100 mesh.

The brush-cluster is rotated against the screen by turning the handle and the pressure required is regulated simply by pressing on the handle as it is turned.

Brushes are held in a molded plastic center-piece sufficiently tightly to ensure that they maintain contact with the screen even if this distorts with use.

Brushes have nylon bristles set in a plastic back; they won't absorb color and are easily washed. They are long-lasting, yet easily replaced.

After use, the screen can be removed and the brush-cluster pushed through the bottom of the sieve for easy washing.

The handle is easily removed for easier transport, or if several brush-heads are needed for different purposes - eg, for wet or dry uses.

The handle runs in a graphite-impregnated nylon bearing well clear of the abrasive materials being used.

When dismantled, the sieve can be sent by UPS. It comes with clear instructions for assembling.

NOTES ON NEW DESIGN FOR 2022
There has been a change to our rotary sieves design which changes the assembly steps, and also impacts compatibility between parts in previous sieves.
The design change is that instead of two aluminum tabs welded to the frame which are used for fixing the front “legs” of the Y frame to the bowl using a bolt and nut each, there are now two molded brackets included in the fastener set that fit over the frame’s front ‘legs’ and are secured to the bowl with two bolts on each side. This changes the following components: the Y frame, the fastener set, the bowl (just extra holes drilled, the bowl itself is the same) and the user assembly guide.

The reasons for the change are:

1. Four bolts instead of two securing the frame to the bowl makes the whole assembly stronger and more durable.
2. Small variations in bowl size meant that the fixed aluminium tabs were sometimes hard to line up with the holes in the bowl. We had some feedback from customers who found this difficult to manage. The new design allows the frame clamps to be fitted exactly in line with the bowl edge without needing to pull the frame or bowl into line.
3. The product looks more attractive with the clamps matching other colored components. Although functional, the welded tabs were not as clean and consistent as the new design.

The crank handle, bearing block, brush assembly, rear mount and sieve screens remain the same as previous versions and are completely interchangeable, however note the following. 

IF A Y FRAME ASSEMBLY IS SUPPLIED AS A SPARE PART TO BE FITTED TO AN OLDER MODEL TALISMAN SIEVE

The new Y frame assembly can be retrofitted to an existing sieve bowl and will work with existing crank handle, brush assembly and screens. However the customer will require the new fastener set which has the front frame clamps and extra bolts needed. An extra 5/16” / 8mm hole must be drilled into the edge of the bowl for each frame clamp. The existing holes that the welded aluminium tab is bolted through are reused as the inner frame clamp holes. The location of the outer holes can be guided by first fitting the frame and clamps with one bolt and then drilling the bowl through the second hole in each clamp – it’s a very simple process requiring just a hand drill and a 5/16” or 8mm drill bit.
