New Air Jet Sieving Machine
Retsch GmbH (Haan, Germany) has released its new AS 200 air jet sieve which it says is particularly suitable for low density materials with particle sizes in the lower micron range. It is used with 203mm sieves of 10 microns mesh size or more.An industrial vacuum cleaner generates a jet of air which disperses the particles on the sieve through a slotted nozzle. The material which passes the sieve is transported to the vacuum cleaner or to a cyclone for recovery. The procedure is very gentle on the material with the average sieving time only taking two to three minutes.
A special feature of the AS 200 jet is the Open Mesh Function which helps to greatly reduce the number of near-mesh particles. This provides optimum separation efficiency and also excellent reproducibility. Operation of the sieving machine is very simple. The Quick Start Mode allows the operator to start the sieving process without previous programming.
Retsch is a global company dedicated to providing novel technologies and high quality tools for the sample preparation of solids used in R&D and QA applications as well as small scale production.
