Just to make clear, I would add either "beans" or "coffee" at the end:

low percentage of 17/18 screen size coffee
low percentage of 17/18 screen size beans


Alternatively:

low percentage of beans with a 17/18 screen size


Ex.:
Green coffee beans - Colombian Supremo| U-Roast-Em
www.u-roast-em.com/coffee-beans-supremo.html

Supremos are larger than excelsos with a screen size of 17/18.

Observe que no contexto dado, não se fala em peneira (elemento), mas no ato de peneirar.

"[...] producers as traders already speak in a lower availability of larger grains, 17/18 sieve, in the case of the Arabica variety, and 13 above, sieve for the robusta coffee."
