Retsch Vibratory Sieve Shaker AS 450 basic, for test sieves up to 450 mm / 18” Ø (please order clamping device, test sieves and collecting pan separately), 230 V, 50 Hz
Sieve Shakers for perfect quality control
RETSCH’s line of sieve shakers and sieving machines not only covers a wide measuring range. Thanks to various sieving motions and sieve sizes it is possible to select the ideal instrument for practically any bulk material.
Our sieve shakers and sieving machines produce exact and reproducible results and comply with the requirements for the test materials monitoring according to DIN EN ISO 9000 ff.
The AS 450 basic, is a budget-priced alternative to the AS 450 control sieve shaker. The new sieve shaker covers a size range from 25 μm to 125 mm and accepts loads of up to 15 kg. Time and amplitude are digitally set, a memory function allows storage of one program. The AS 450 basic is suitable for dry and wet sieving. It is the economic solution for customers who need to sieve larger quantities of dry material with reliable results.

Function Principle
The AS 450 basic works with an electromagnetic drive. This drive produces a 3D throwing motion that moves the product to be sieved equally over the whole sieving surface. The advantage: high stress capacity, extremely smooth operation and short sieving times with high separation efficiency.
Subject to technical modifications and errors

Application Examples
cement clinker, chemicals, coal, coke, construction materials, fillers, minerals, ores, plastics, sand, soils, ...
Product Advantages
- suitable for dry and wet sieving
- excellent separation efficiency even with short sieving times
- efficient electromagnetic drive
- 3-D throwing motion which ensures optimum use of the open sieve area and lets the sample move equally over the whole sieving surface
- up to 12 fractions in one sieving operation
- free digital adjustment of all process parameters (time, amplitude, interval)
- mobile operation panel for comfortable, intuitive handling
- maintenance-free
- easy operation, ergonomic design
- robust steel housing
