Horizontal Sieve Shaker
Model No. :
Model No. : AS 400 Control
Brand : Retsch
The AS 400 control is a specialized sieve shaker designed for the particle size analysis of dry, bulky, and fibrous materials using a horizontal circular motion. This precision instrument is engineered for high-capacity workflows, offering a digitally controlled platform that ensures reproducible results for large-diameter test sieves.
-
Measurement range from 45 µm to 63 mm
-
Maximum loading capacity of 5 kg
-
Digitally adjustable speed from 50 to 300 rpm
− Features
- Horizontal Circular Motion: Utilizes a precise two-dimensional sieving action that keeps the material flat on the mesh, making it specifically effective for separating long-fiber, flat, or needle-shaped particles.
- Intelligent Speed Regulation: Features an electronically monitored drive that automatically adjusts to maintain a constant speed even under varying sample loads, ensuring that sieving protocols are always performed under standardized conditions.
- Large Diameter Compatibility: Specifically optimized for use with test sieves up to 400 mm (16 inches) in diameter, allowing for a significantly larger sieving surface area to prevent mesh blinding during bulk analysis.
- Memory-Based Operation: Includes an integrated memory for storing up to 9 parameter sets (SOPs), facilitating rapid transition between different material testing requirements and reducing the risk of operator error.
- Calibratable for Quality Control: Designed to meet the stringent requirements of ISO 9001, the system is fully calibratable and can be integrated with EasySieve® software for automated data evaluation and professional documentation.

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.
