There are good reasons to make greater use of the advantages that sieving analysis has always possessed: good cost-to-performance ratio, adaptability, and simple handling
In today's research or control labs, sieving analysis must be conducted and documented much more accurately and reproducibly than in the past.
ISO 9001, laboratory certification, EC safety directives, stricter in-house quality standards, etc, now require measuring and test equipment which can be calibrated and validated, boasts complex software and achieves precise results. Fritsch says the new generation of its Analysette 3 sieve shakers meets these requirements with a series of innovative, practice-oriented features.
Resonance control which ensures constant sieving parameters regardless of load.
Digital data input and display of all functions n automatic regulation and retention of the adjusted amplitude: Ampcontrol.
Microprocessor control and digital display of all functions.
As many as nine sieving programs can be stored and accessed.
Evaluation of sieving with complex software, Autosieve for Windows.
Automatic validation of the sieving process via RS232 interface. Miscellaneous functions of modular design (micro-sieving, grinding attachment).
For years, development in particle measurement seemed to pass sieving analysis by.
Now, says Fritsch, there are good reasons to again make greater use of the advantages this method has always possessed: good cost-to-performance ratio, adaptability, and simple handling. These must be supplemented by microprocessor technology, evaluation software and validation capability to prevail in today's very competitive particle measurement market.
A personal shareware version of the standard Autosieve control and evaluation programme is available free of charge for 180 days use.
This gives the chance to become acquainted with and assess the advantages of automatic sieve evaluation per computer.
The message to everyone utilising sieve analysis should be: "Take advantage of the benefits of a tried-and-tested method.
"Use optimal hardware interfaced with operational information management."
