The sieving device includes a support device, which holds a sieve, which has at least one sieve lining that is held by a sieve frame, which is connected to a drive device. The drive device, which is controllable by a control device by means of a control program, includes at least three actuators, which are connected each on one side via a first swivel joint to the support device and which are connected each on another side via second swivel joint to the sieve frame, so that the sieve is held solely by the actuators and is displaceable within an operating volume and optionally rotatable.
