Vibrating Sieves – Building Industry and Construction Materials
Virto-Cuccolini’s vibrating sieves have long been used in the building industry, where they play an essential role in ensuring the quality of raw materials and optimizing production processes.
They find their application in the control of the grain size of sand, cement, limestone, and ceramic mixtures, as well as in the dewatering of mining sludge or recycling of glazes.
Typical applications are the fractionation of ceramic raw materials from granules to fine dust, the fine sorting of dyes and pigments for color stability, or the cleaning of sand and gravel from organic impurities and fine particles.
Thanks to the use of vibrating sieves, the homogeneity of the material is improved, the stability of production parameters is increased, and the overall quality of the final products is enhanced.

APPLICATION OF VIBRATING SIEVES IN THE BUILDING INDUSTRY
The most common applications of vibrating sieves in the building industry
- Ceramic raw materials (kaolin, chamotte, and glazes) – control sorting from granules to dust to ensure a consistent mixture formulation
- Sands and gravels for concrete and mortar mixtures – removal of fine dust for the correct grading size curve
- Cement, limestone, and gypsum – breaking up lumps and ensuring uniform fluidity of powders before their dosing into mixing devices
- Pigments and dyes for building materials (engobes, concrete dyes) – fine sieving particles < 50 µm for stable shade and covering power
- Dewatering and recycling of glazes or kaolin sludge – separation of solids from water using the VLM sieves to reuse process water and reduce wastewater treatment costs

Sorting of Glass and Ceramic Frits Using a Vibrating Sieve
Glass is a 100% recyclable material. After crushing, the scrap glass is returned to production to create new products. Today's trend, however, emphasizes their precise sorting by particle size – this helps to identify valuable or technically interesting components.
Part of the glass particles goes to the ceramics industry, where they are used to make raw materials for tiles and tableware. To achieve the desired properties, accurate grain size grading is essential – especially in the production of ceramic frits.
With the help of a special vibrating sieve, the glass granules can be efficiently separated by size, guaranteeing a quality input material for the final ceramic product.
Selection of Raw Materials for Technical Ceramics
Technical ceramics require raw materials with precisely defined particle sizes. Homogeneous powders (e.g. zirconium oxide, aluminum oxide) must be obtained from the granules to ensure the desired material properties.
With the vibrating sieve, raw materials can be efficiently sorted by size and prepared for further processing with repeatable results.
