Haver & Boecker : What floorutions for the sieving and analysis particle size analysis?

A longstanding benchmark in sieving and particle size analysis, Haver & Boecker set the international standards for test sieves and the associated methods. Today, its dedicated division has been consolidated within nexopart (Germany) to offer comprehensive solutions: standards-compliant sieves, sieve shakers, air jet sieve, accessories and services. In quality control, R&D or production across pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, chemicals and environmental applications, the brand stands out for the reliability of its results and the longevity of its equipment.

A century of expertise, driving innovation

Founded in 1887 in Germany, Haver & Boecker first made its name manufacturing high-precision wire cloth. From this mastery of wire came, early on, a unique expertise in test sieving for both laboratory and industrial use. Over the decades, the brand has built a complete portfolio for particle size distribution measurement, recognised for its consistency and traceability. In 2023, the laboratory business was brought together under nexopart, a Germany-based company, to unite technologies, services and application support within a single entity dedicated to particle analysis. This development strengthens its international presence with QC laboratories, R&D centres and manufacturing sites, while preserving its founding values: quality, precision and sustainability.

Expertise and Areas of Specialisation

At the core of the range, stainless-steel test sieves, available in a wide choice of apertures and common diameters, deliver sharp, reproducible cut points. They are engineered for QC and R&D laboratories, with compliance to ISO 3310 and ASTM E11 to ensure full comparability of results. The brand also offers sieve shakers for dry and wet sieving, to speed up procedures while guaranteeing repeatability, as well as air jet sieve solutions that are particularly suited to fine and very fine powders, where gentle dispersion and anti-blinding are critical.
In the pharmaceutical and cosmetics sectors, these instruments secure batch release of excipients and APIs through controlled cut points. In the food industry, they check granules, flours and additives with rigorous traceability. In chemicals and environmental applications, they cover technical powders, catalysts, soils and sediments. nexopart rounds out the ecosystem with accessories (lids, receiver pans, brushes, sample splitters) and support services, for a robust measurement chain from sampling to reporting.
Why is the brand so widely chosen? For the dimensional stability of its meshes, the durability of its components, and the traceability of checks, which safeguard audits and validations. Result: measurements that are reliable, comparable and easy to document, day to day and over the long term.
