- Laboratory Sample Dividers: Ensure your sieving sub-sample is truly representative of the bulk material using Retsch Riffle Boxes or Powteq Rotary Dividers.
- Waste Bins: Safely dispose of excess particulate matter and used consumables in B. Braun Medibox containers.
- Chemical Sorbents: Maintain a clean environment around your shaking station with Brady Spill Kits to manage any dust or material spills.
Unsure if your material analysis requires the high-capacity AS 450 Control or a standard 200 mm clamping system? Our team provides local technical support to help you find the correct sieving solution with fast shipping and competitive pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the benefit of using Retsch EasySieve software?
EasySieve software automates the entire sieving process, from controlling the shaker to weighing and data evaluation, significantly reducing human error and improving repeatability.
2. How do I choose the right clamping device?
The clamping device must match your test sieve diameter; for example, Retsch offers specific "Comfort" models for 200/203 mm, 305 mm, and 400/450 mm sieves to ensure a secure fit.
3. What makes the AS 450 Control different from standard shakers?
The AS 450 Control is a heavy-duty analytical shaker specifically designed for high-volume samples and larger sieve diameters (up to 450 mm), providing the power needed for industrial-scale particle analysis.
4. Can I use these shakers for wet sieving?
While the shakers provide the mechanical action, specific wet sieving accessories (like specialized lids and collection pans) are typically required to manage the liquid phase during the process.
