ASR Outdoor DEEP 1/8" Classifier Screen for 5‑Gallon Bucket — Deep 6" Stackable Polypropylene with Handles

The ASR Outdoor DEEP 1/8" Classifier Screen is a heavy-duty, stackable 5‑gallon plastic sifting sieve designed to separate fine materials with a 1/8" (16 holes per square inch) mesh and integrated handles for easier field use.

Built to convert a standard 5‑gallon bucket into a vertical classification system, this durable polypropylene classifier is tuned for end-stage sorting of finer soils, gravels, and concentrates. Its six-inch depth gives capacity for bulk processing while the ABS‑style plastic resists rust and UV damage for reliable outdoor performance. The unit stacks securely on common 5‑gallon buckets and pairs with other ASR Outdoor stainless steel mesh screens for multi-stage classification.

How does the 1/8" mesh affect material separation?

The 1/8" classifier screen (about 16 holes per square inch) is intended for finer material grading near the end of the classification chain. It removes larger coarse particles while allowing small fragments to pass through, giving a cleaner, more uniform sample.

• Filters materials to roughly eighth‑inch maximum particle size.
• Ideal for fine gravel, coarse sand, mineral concentrates, and soil sorting.
• Helps reduce downstream processing time by removing oversized debris.

Will this screen work with my 5‑gallon bucket and other ASR pieces?

Yes — the DEEP classifier is designed to sit atop standard 5‑gallon buckets to create a stacked classification rig. It is also compatible with ASR Outdoor stainless steel mesh screens, so you can mix mesh sizes for staged sifting.

• Top diameter fits common 5‑gallon buckets for stable stacking.
• Stackable design supports multi‑level screening systems.
• Interoperable with ASR Outdoor stainless steel classifier screens.

How durable and weather‑resistant is the plastic construction?

The sifter is molded from heavy‑duty polypropylene/ABS‑style plastic formulated to resist rust and tolerate outdoor conditions. It should be rinsed and air‑dried after use to maintain longevity, but it will stand up to typical field exposure better than raw metal alternatives.

• UV and rust resistant for outdoor use.
• Easy to clean — rinse and air dry between sessions.
• Lightweight yet sturdy for transport and repeated handling.

How do the side handles improve field use and transport?

Built‑in side handles give a secure grip when loading, moving, or shaking heavier materials, reducing hand strain and improving control compared with rim‑only designs. They make it easier to lift the classifier on and off buckets or carry full loads short distances.

• Ergonomic placement reduces wrist and hand fatigue.
• Allows safer two‑handed lifting when full of material.
• Helpful for handing off between users or repositioning in the field.

Who is this for: The ASR Outdoor DEEP 1/8" Classifier Screen is aimed at hobby prospectors, small‑scale miners, landscapers, archaeologists, and anyone needing reliable fine material classification without heavy equipment. If you use 5‑gallon buckets for sampling, panning, or staged sifting and want a rugged, stackable plastic screen with easy transport handles, this product provides a practical, weather‑resistant solution.
