RETSCH AS 200 Vibratory Shaker for Vibratory Sieves

RETSCH AS 200 Vibratory Shaker for Vibratory Sieve– Material Sample Preparation

Sieving is a universal process used across the globe, from food and pharmaceuticals and beyond. At its core, sieving is about separating particles of different sizes using industrial vibratory sieves or vibratory sieve shakers to ensure product quality and consistency in every batch. Sieving is used for dry and wet materials, so it’s suitable for everything from fine powders to liquids and slurries. Industrial vibratory sieves are designed to handle a wide range of materials, removing oversize particles and only allowing the desired particle sizes to pass through. This ensures the quality of the final product and supports a wide range of applications including screening and precise separation. Whether in research labs or large scale production, vibratory sieve shakers play a crucial role in meeting the high standards required by industries worldwide.

The AS 200 digit is recommended when digital time display, interval operation and analogue adjustment and optical monitoring of vibration height is required. Users are encouraged to select the appropriate model or configuration to best suit their specific application needs.

Function Principle

Each vibratory shaker of the series AS 200 has an electromagnetic drive patented by RETSCH (EP 0642844). This drive produces a 3D throwing motion that moves the product to be sieved equally over the entire sieving surface, making it highly effective for separating solids of different sizes.

The advantage: high stress capacity, very smooth operation and short sieving times with high separation efficiency, for precise classification and separation by size.

Vibratory Sieve Shaker Design and Operation

The sieve shaker separates material of different sizes by 3D vibration. The device consists of a stack, a vibration mechanism and a control system. The stack is made of multiple sieves with different mesh sizes stacked on top of each other. The vibration mechanism make a vertical or 3D vibration that moves the material up and down so they can pass through the sieves. The control system allows to adjust vibration intensity, frequency and time for optimal sieving.The vibratory shaker is for: powders, metal powders, fine powders. Also for wet sieving, necessary for separation in slurries. Used in: food, pharmaceutical, powder coating.

Methods

Different industries use different sieving methods to get the best results, dry and wet sieving are the most common. Dry sieving is used for powders and granular materials, so it’s ideal for applications where moisture is not present. Wet sieving is used when materials are in a liquid, to separate fine particles that would clump together. Vibratory sieve shakers are perfect for dry sieving, efficient and precise separation. Industrial sieves can be designed compact, so they fit in production environments where space is limited. The sieve stack can be customized with different mesh sizes to meet the requirements of each application, so the sieving process is efficient and perfect for the material being processed.

Benefits

The benefits of sieving in industrial processes are many. By using vibratory sieve shakers and industrial screeners, manufacturers can increase capacity and screening efficiency, which is crucial for high volume production. Sieving removes oversize particles and impurities, directly contributing to better product quality and consistency. This is especially important in food and pharmaceutical industries where precision and purity is key. Efficient sieving also reduces production costs by minimizing waste and contamination. The ability to separate with high precision means products meet required standards, so vibratory sieve shakers and industrial sieves are the solution for quality and efficiency in any production line.
