Sieving particle size analysis according to DIN EN ISO 9000 ff

Particle size distribution influences the physical and chemical properties of solids. Therefore this criterion is of highest importance in the context of science and quality control. Only if the size distribution remains constant, a steady product quality can be guaranteed, as the following examples show:

  • the strength of concrete depends on the particle size of the cement
  • the taste of chocolate is influenced by the fineness of the cocoa
  • the flow characteristics and solubility of washing powders depend on the fineness and particle shape of the basic materials
RETSCH sieve shakers, test sieves and evaluation software provide the key to easy, rapid, reproducible and, above all, accurate analyses.

Sieving of agglomerating powders with the air jet sieving machine AS 200 jet

Air jet sieving is usually the method of choice for dry sieving of materials with particle sizes below 40 microns. However, it is also a faster alternative to vibratory sieving of materials of up to 250 microns.
