Vibratory sieve shaker for particle size determination
Achieve precise particle size analysis with rapid, reproducible results, crucial for quality control in material processing. Ideal for ensuring uniformity in powders, granules, and slurries, this equipment streamlines testing in diverse manufacturing environments.

Performs Particle Size Determination and Fractionation
The Sieve Shaker AS 200 Control from Retsch GmbH is an essential tool for precise particle size analysis and fractionation, providing reliable performance in research, development, and quality control applications. This vibratory sieve shaker employs an electromagnetic drive with a patented 3D throwing motion to ensure even sample distribution over the sieve surface, yielding sharp fractions in a short time frame. Ideal for a wide range of materials, it caters to industries such as construction, pharmaceuticals, and food production, producing end-products like concrete mix, pharmaceutical tablets, and aluminum powder coatings.
With a maximum batch capacity of 3 kg, the AS 200 Control facilitates both dry and wet sieving, supporting adaptability with its user-friendly digital settings for time, amplitude, and interval. Up to 99 saved parameter combinations allow seamless integration into automated workflows, while the EasySieve® software offers sophisticated analysis and reporting capabilities. Designed for rigorous environments, this sieve shaker withstands extensive use with minimal maintenance requirements, contributing to operational efficiency and compliance with ISO 9001 standards through certified calibration. Optional accessories and customizable clamping units further enhance its versatility, making it a robust choice for varying sample and operational demands.
