Sažetak
An object of the sieving process is to separate a mixture of a granulated material into fractions. Each fraction containes particles of similar dimensions. The primary object of this research was to determine particle size distribution in the samples of the corn flour. It was also established how does the change of sieving amplitude affects on the particle size distribution. Sieving analysis is done by “ Analysette 3” model “ Pro” vibration shaker. Sieve opening sizes were 355, 315, 250, 200, 160, 125, 100 and 63 μ m. Sieving of each sample was done by three different amplitudes: 1, 5 ; 2, 0 and 2, 5 mm. Results are presented as a step-like frequency distribution curve and as a cumulative distribution curve of oversize and undersize. It is shown that higher amplitude causes better results in particle size distribution. Statistical data analysis confirms accuracy of the experimental results.
