Test Sieves

Test Sieves

The demands made of particle size analysis are constantly increasing. This is also reflected in the greater requirements made in the new standard ISO 3310. In order to adapt our test sieves to these new requirements, RETSCH has developed a completely new manufacturing process that guarantees a previously unattained quality and consistency in sieve production (200 x 50 mm, 200 x 25 mm, 203 x 50 mm (8"x 2"), 203 x 25 mm (8"x 1")). In addition, a logistic manufacturing system makes it possible to record each and every material used in the process.

Application Examples

cement clinker, chemicals, coffee, construction materials, fertilizers, fillers, flours, grains, metals powders, minerals, nuts, plastics, sand, seeds, soils, washing powder, ...

Product Advantages

  • one piece construction and fabric-transition without any grooves to prevent cross contamination (no solder, no residues, etc.)
  • a high degree of corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning due to high-alloy stainless steel (specification: 316)
  • 15% lighter than traditional sieves while at the same time increasing the free sieve area
  • previously unattained product quality due to fully automatic production and extensive optical inspection with optimum design
  • innovative resistance welding technology guarantees permanently tight sieve fabric
  • maximum stability and optimum sealing when used in sieve stacks
  • clear and precise labeling of the sieves with full traceability based on individualized laser engraving

Features

Function Principle

Prior to delivery, each sieve is optically measured and granted a test report. On request, an inspection certificate with the measuring results in tabular and graphical form or a calibration certificate with detailed statistics is delivered. As a special service, we offer to recalibrate your test sieves. After the standard measuring process, all relevant data are recorded and confirmed in the calibration certificate, if desired.
