Operating the Device 

6.1  Use of the Device for the Intended Purpose 

 

CAUTION

 

 

C9.0005

 

 

Risk of explosion or fire 

Potentially explosive atmosphere 

  On account of its design, the device is not suitable for use in potentially 

explosive atmospheres. 

 

Do not operate the device in a potentially explosive atmosphere.

 

 

 

 

CAUTION

 

 

C10.0006

 

 

Danger of personal injury 

Hazardous sample material 

  Depending on the dangerous nature of the sample material necessary 

measures must be taken to rule out any danger of personal injury. 

 

Observe the material safety data sheets of the sample material.

 

 

 

 

CAUTION

 

 

C11.0003

 

 

Risk of explosion or fire 

Changing sample properties 

  The properties and therefore also the hazardousness of the sample can 

alter during the sieving process. 

 

Do not use any substances in this device which carry the risk of 
explosion or fire.

 

 

Observe the material safety data sheets of the sample material.

 

 

 
This Air Jet Sieving Machine of the Retsch GmbH is a laboratory device. It is suitable for dry 
sieving of fine materials in the grain size range from 10 µm to 4 mm. 
 
The particle size distribution of materials requiring efficient mixing and deagglomeration, such 
as chemical products, rubber, ceramics, cosmetics, plastics, food, minerals, pharmaceuticals, 
pigments, powder coatings, toner, washing powder and many other substances can be easily 
and quickly analysed. 
 
The Air Jet Sieving Machine of the Retsch GmbH is successfully deployed in almost all areas of 
industry and research within the scope of quality control, especially where there are high 
demands regarding easy operability, speed, precision and reproducibility. 
 
The AS 200 jet is specially designed for test sieves with an outer diameter from 200 mm and 
203 mm (8"). For an optimum measurement result it is recommended to exclusively use test 
sieves from Retsch GmbH.
