Sieving Paint Pigments

Farleygreene’s Sievmaster 500-S ensures the quality and consistency of inorganic paint pigments used in the manufacture of quartz surfaces.

Small Batch Sieving

Our customer specialises in the manufacture of natural quartz surfaces used both in domestic and business environments. 

Natural quartz has a Mohs hardness of 7 out of 10 making it highly valued for its durability, and resistance to wear and tear. During the manufacture of quartz slabs, inorganic paint pigment can be added to quartz particles to produce an array of different coloured quartz end products such as kitchen and bathroom worktops. Sieving is required during this process to achieve a uniform particle size, important for consistent colour and performance of the final product. Pigments that are too large or too small may be difficult to disperse evenly and can also affect the texture of the final product. Overall, sieving inorganic pigments is an important step in the manufacturing process to help ensure that the final product meets the desired specifications.

  • Requirement

    It was vitally important for our customer that the final paint particle was the correct size, to ensure the highest quality end-product and protect their reputation as a luxury brand. They also required the sieve to achieve a throughput rate of 720 kilograms per hour to meet their manufacturing demands.

  • Solution

    A specially designed Sievmaster 500-S batch sieve was bought by our customer, this smaller batch style sieve suited their throughput requirements, and the mobile design could be maneuvered easily by one operator. A standard Sievmaster 500-S frame was adapted with a bespoke square type support frame as per our customer’s request. The paint pigments would be gravity fed from a Metering Feeder directly into the sieve’s hopper and screened into the customers own collection container underneath.

  • Results

    The customer was very satisfied with both the product and service provided by Farleygreene and purchased four Sievmaster 200-S sieves to support their business growth. These allowed the customer to continuously use the machines without switchover for product change and helped the customer to maintain a high-quality product used for kitchen countertops and bathrooms rooms alike.
