⚙️ How It Works

1. A sample is placed on the top sieve of a stack.
2. The sieve shaker vibrates or oscillates, causing the particles to move.
3. Smaller particles pass through finer mesh sieves; larger particles remain on top.
4. The material retained on each sieve is weighed to calculate size distribution.
