Basic Mikro Air Jet Sieve for 8in Test Sieves: Precision Particle Analysis

The Basic Mikro Air Jet Sieve for 8in Test Sieves offers an advanced and reliable single-sieve system engineered for precise particle size analysis of dry powders. Designed for sample sizes ranging from 10 to 100g, this instrument accurately handles materials from No. 4 (4.75mm) down to No. 635 (20μm). Its operation is characterized by exceptional cleanliness and low noise, making it suitable for a variety of laboratory environments.

At its core, the system utilizes a unique air jet sieving mechanism. A rotating slotted nozzle introduces positive air pressure, gently fluidizing the sample within a covered test sieve. Simultaneously, an external vacuum system draws air downward, creating a negative pressure that efficiently carries undersize particles through the sieve mesh and into a dedicated collection canister. This gentle yet highly effective sieving action is particularly beneficial for analyzing fragile materials or those with low specific gravity, preventing sample degradation and ensuring accurate results.

The Basic Mikro Air Jet Sieve features an intuitive integrated computer with a high-clarity capacitive touchscreen, providing seamless control and data display. Users can easily manage test times and precisely adjust vacuum/pressure settings. The system's intelligence is further enhanced by 20 GB of internal storage, allowing for extensive data logging and recipe creation. It offers a selection of 12 language options for global usability.

Included Items:

• Basic Mikro Air Jet Sieve for 8in Test Sieves
• Polycarbonate Sieve Cover
• Plastic Tapping Hammer
• Nylon Brush

Essential Accessory (Purchased Separately): A vacuum system is required for operation. The recommended Standard Vacuum System features a low-noise 1,000-Watt motor and a 4gal (15L) epoxy-lined steel filter canister, optimized for best performance across various materials. For applications involving conductive materials or samples with high fines content, specialized vacuum systems should be considered. For maximum recovery of sub-micron fines, the Cyclone Collector (also sold separately) can be used in conjunction with any vacuum system.
