Air jet sieve provides more accurate result

Published: 1-Oct-2005


The latest air jet sieve from Hosokawa Micron has been made more flexible and accurate for multiple product testing applications in the laboratory.

The Alpine 2000 LS-N is designed to measure powder fineness to 10mm. Its new sieve identification function requires no manual input of mesh data, eliminating the potential for manual inaccuracies and making the instrument quicker and more reliable.

Identification of a sieve is based on the mesh with an individual ID number and is checked automatically every time it is used. A sieve may be used for a set number of times before triggering an alarm to indicate that cleaning is due.

The model also has a new control feature that ensures underpressure in the sieving chamber and the dispersing effect of the jet are monitored and kept constant throughout the entire sieving process, eliminating analysis error. An electromagnetic tapper automatically removes the build-up of fine dust on the sieve cover.
