This sieve shaker covers a size range from 25 μm to 125 mm and accepts loads of up to 15 kg. Time and amplitude are digitally set which ensures reproducibility of the sieving process
The AS 450 basic is suitable for dry and wet sieving. It is the economic solution for users who need to sieve larger quantities of dry material with reliable results.
Product Advantages
- suitable for dry and wet sieving
- excellent separation efficiency even with short sieving times
- efficient electromagnetic drive
- 3-D throwing motion which ensures optimum use of the open sieve area and lets the sample move equally over the whole sieving surface
- up to 12 fractions in one sieving operation
- free digital adjustment of all process parameters (time, amplitude, interval)
- mobile operation panel for comfortable, intuitive handling
- maintenance-free
- easy operation, ergonomic design
- robust steel housing
Vibratory Sieve Shaker AS 450 basic Wet sieving with Vibratory Sieve Shakers
There are many applications for which wet sieving is the best solution, e.g. when the material to be tested is a suspension or when a very fine sample (< 45 μm) that tends to agglomerate needs to be sieved. All vibratory sieve shakers from RETSCH can be used for wet sieving. There are special accessories like clamping lids with spray nozzle and collecting pans with outlet available. By placing RETSCH’s venting rings between the sieves, air cushions can expand without letting liquid or sample material escape.
Vibratory Sieve Shaker AS 450 basic Accessories & Options
RETSCH sieve shakers can be equipped with a variety of accessories to meet a wide range of application requirements.
- Clamping units
With the RETSCH clamping devices the sieves are clamped safely, quickly and conveniently on the sieve shaker. The clamping devices “comfort” are particularly user-friendly and timesaving.
- IQ/OQ Documents
We provide IQ/OQ documentation for the „control“ sieve shakers to support IQ/OQ certification by our customers.
- Accessories for test sieves
Collecting pans, intermediate pans, intermediate rings and sieve lids.
- Sample DividersMeaningful results can only be obtained if the sample represents the original material. Sample dividers produce representative part samples, thus ensuring reproducibility of the analysis.
- Accessories for wet sieving
Clamping lid with nozzle, collecting pans with outlet, venting rings.
- Ultrasonic baths and dryers
Suitable for thorough cleaning of test sieves and for quick, gentle drying of samples and sieves.
- Sieving Aids
Chain rings, brushes, cubes, balls (e.g. for reducing agglomerations when sieving particles < 100 μm and keeping the mesh free).

EasySieve / EasySieve CFR Evaluation Software
EasySieve, the software for particle size analyses, exceeds manual evaluation in many aspects. The software is able to automatically control the necessary measurement and weighing procedures – from the registration of the weight of the sieve up to the evaluation of the data. It is simple and convenient to use and is also available in an FDA 21 CFR Part 11-conform version.

Vibratory Sieve Shaker AS 450 basic Functional Principle
The AS 450 basic works with an electromagnetic drive. This drive produces a 3D throwing motion that moves the product to be sieved equally over the whole sieving surface. The advantage: high stress capacity, extremely smooth operation and short sieving times with high separation efficiency.
