Abstract: Improved sieving apparatus for size analysis of dry powder having a sample chamber floored by a sieving screen and an underlying fines chamber adapted to be mated in fluid communication therewith. Disposed beneath the screen is a jet emitting rotor of selective configuration adapted to emit an upwardly directed air jet curtain to repeatedly sweep the underside of the screen to both improve the screening action and to reduce the required time therefore.
