Basic Air Sieve, Mikro Air Jet Sieve for 200mm Test Sieves

The Basic Mikro Air Jet Sieve for 200mm Test Sieves is a single-sieve system for 10 to 100g samples of dry powders from No. 4 to No. 635 (4.75mm to 20μm). Clean and quiet operation. A rotating slotted nozzle supplies positive air pressure to gently fluidize the sample in a covered test sieve. The test sieve screens use specialized sieve cloth to ensure precision and accuracy. Exiting air is drawn downward with an external vacuum system, carrying undersize particles to a collection canister. Air Jet sieving is gentle, effective and efficient, speeding up particle size analysis and especially useful for fragile or low specific gravity materials. Test times and pressure settings are controlled through the integrated computer with capacitive touch screen and display, providing detailed information about the analysis process. Basic or Advanced versions are available, each with separate models for ISO 200mm and older style Air Jet Sieves or ASTM 8in (203mm) diameter Test Sieves. The scope of delivery includes various components and accessories that enhance the product’s functionality and user experience. The air jet testsieve screens is an essential tool for precise analysis results in material testing, designed to fit advanced testing equipment and make the process of analyzing fine particles easy and simple.

Overview

The Mikro Air Jet Sieve is a modern particle size analyzer for dry powder samples. With air jet sieving and air jet technology it’s suitable for chemicals, minerals, pharmaceuticals, food, plastics or cosmetics, handling fines and such materials. In this article we will look into air jet sieves, their features, benefits and applications. We will also look into the device’s compliance with industry standards such as SPE GAMP 5, FDA 21 Part 11 and EC GMP Annex 11.

Introduction to Particle Size Analysis

What is an Air Jet Sieve?

An air jet sieve is a particle size analyzer that uses pneumatic air jet sieving principle to separate particles by size. Air jet technology blows air through a test sieve screen, fluidizes the sample and collects the undersize in a separate container. Air jet sieving is a fast and accurate method for particle size distribution and is used for quality control and research purposes.

Operating Principles

The operating principles of air jet sieving systems such as the Mikro Air Jet Sieve are based on the use of a rotating slotted nozzle that creates a high speed air jet. This air jet is directed at the test sieve screens, causing the particles to be lifted and separated according to their size. The vacuum system plays a crucial role in this process, as it creates a negative pressure that draws the undersized particles through the sieve, allowing them to be collected and analyzed. Air jet sieving is suitable for a wide range of materials, dry powders and fine powders and can be used to determine particle sizes with high accuracy.

Features and Benefits

The Mikro Air Jet Sieve has several features that make it the industry’s best particle size analyzer. Some of which are:

• High accuracy and repeatability: Air jet sieving technology gives precise results even for fine powders.

• Easy to use: Clear acrylic sieve cover and slotted nozzle supplies positive air pressure.

• Versatile: Mikro Air Jet Sieve can analyze particle size from 20 µm to 4,750 µm for various applications. Essential equipment such as test sieve screens and collection devices are supplied with the product.

• Compact: Designed for clean operation and takes up less counter space than other analytical equipment. Prices for the Mikro Air Jet Sieve models are subject to change without warning.

• Advanced software: Mikro Air Jet Sieve comes with menu-driven software that collects and calculates particle sizes from multiple test sieve screen and generates a distribution.
