Product news

The new air jet sieve AS 200 jet is particularly suitable for low density materials with particle sizes in the lower micron range. It is used with 200 mm and 203 mm (8’’) 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; the average sieving time only takes 2-3 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 and user-friendly. The Quick Start Mode allows starting the sieving process without previous programming.

Benefits at a glance:

• Gentle sieving with short sieving times
• Reproducible results due to Open Mesh Function
• High flexibility through adjustable nozzle speed
• Automatic vacuum regulation (option)
• Suitable for 200/203 mm (8 ‘’) test sieves
• Memory for up to 9 SOPs, additional Quick Start mode
• Silent operation due to integrated silencer

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.Food and Beverage ProcessingFood and Beverage Processing involves the preparation of food products for further analysis. Typical instrumentation includes blanchers, color sorters, cookers, grinders, and refrigeration. These are used to replicate the processes commonly used in the commercial preparation of food and beverages.Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters.
