Retsch Vibratory Sieve Shakers AS 200 Control, 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz, incl. Test Report acc. to EN 10204 2.2
The analytical sieve shakers of the series AS 200 are used in research & development, quality control of raw materials, interim and finished products as well as in production monitoring. The controllable electromagnetic drive offers an optimal adaption for every product. Sharp fractions are obtained even after very short sieving times.
With its all-digital controls, up to 99 sieving programs and calibration certificate the sieve shaker AS 200 control is indispensable for all users who attach importance to precision and operational convenience and need to comply with the guidelines of the ISO 9001.
The AS 200 control can be calibrated to ensure 100% reproducibility of sieving results, not only in one device, but among all AS 200 control units! Accordingly, this model is perfectly suited to check particle size distributions for quality control, for example between suppliers and customers.
ACCURACY & EFFICIENCY
- 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
- Setting of sieve acceleration "g" for comparable and reproducible sieving results worldwide
- Free digital adjustment of all process parameters (time, amplitude or sieve acceleration, interval)
SAFE AND SIMPLE OPERATION
Operation of the AS 200 control is convenient and easy. All sieving parameters – vibration height, time, interval – are set, displayed and monitored digitally. Up to 99 parameter combinations (SOPs) can be stored for routine analyses. Through the integrated interface the instrument can be connected to a PC and controlled with the evaluation software EasySieve®. This program enables the user to control the whole sieving process and the subsequent documentation with convenience and accuracy.
WET SIEVING WITH VIBRATORY SIEVE SHAKERS
There are many applications for which wet sieving is the best solution, e.g. when the material to be tested is a suspension or when a very fine sample (< 45 μm) that tends to agglomerate needs to be sieved. All vibratory sieve shakers from RETSCH can be used for wet sieving. There are special accessories like clamping lids with spray nozzle and collecting pans with outlet available. By placing RETSCH’s venting rings between the sieves, air cushions can expand without letting liquid or sample material escape.
EASYSIEVE / EASYSIEVE CFR EVALUATION SOFTWARE
EasySieve, the software for particle size analyses, exceeds manual evaluation in many aspects. The software is able to automatically control the necessary measurement and weighing procedures – from the registration of the weight of the sieve up to the evaluation of the data. It is simple and convenient to use and is also available in an FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant version.
