Using the device 6 Using the device 6.1 Sieving with the ANALYSETTE 3 6.1.1 Fitting and clamping the sieves On the vibratory plate, it is possible to fit up to ‐ 10 sieves with a height of 50 mm (or 2") or ‐ 16 sieves with a height of 25 mm (or 1") between the sieve pan (collecting vessel) and clamping lid. The combination of sieves and sieve pan is called a sieve set. Make sure not to clamp more than 6 kg on the ANALYSETTE 3 (sieve set + sieving stock). 1.
Using the device 9. Move the clamping lever upwards. Make sure that the teeth of the toothed belt interlock with the teeth of the belt clamping device! 10. Then attach the knurled knobs to the holders of the sieve cover! 11. By turning the knurled knobs to the right, tighten the sieve stack evenly until the toothed belts are tightly clamped! If the two toothed belts are not evenly clamped, it is possible that the sieving stock will not be distributed evenly across the sieve surface. 12.
Using the device 6.1.3 Feed quantity for dry or wet sieving (Sieves with 200 mm diameter) Maximum load: ‐ Sieving stock < 1 kg ‐ Sieves and sieving stock < 6 kg 6.2 Dry sieving For dry sieving, use the dry sieve pan (without outlet) and the dry clamping lid (plexiglas clamping lid without nozzles). 6.2.1 Sieving parameters Parameters Coarse sample Fine sample Sieving time 3...20 min 15....30 min Amplitude 2.5....3 mm 1.5....2.
Using the device In this case, the sieve shaker controller can no longer set the optimal working point; the sieve shaker vibrates with a lower amplitude and frequency. The amplitude set point must be reduced accordingly in this case. When the machine has warmed up, the set point can be increased accordingly. 6.2.2 Sieving aids To shorten the sieving time, sieving aids can be attached in each of the sieves that have mesh widths larger than 32 µm.
Using the device 6.3.1 Sieving parameters Parameters Average High percentage of fine ground material Sieving time 3...10 min approx. 15 min Amplitude 6.3.2 2...2.5 mm Wetting agents Wetting agents improve dispersion. n Add tensides in liquid form (washing-up liquid, Dusazin etc.) in small amounts only (dropwise), to prevent frothing. n Add inorganic or organic salts like tetrasodium diphosphate or sodium lauryl sulfate and poly salts in amounts of 0.1 - 0.5 %. 6.3.
Using the device Before adding wetting agent through the opening (O), please stop the sieve shaker with the Stop key. 6.3.4 Extracting the passing particles In order to extract the rinsed out fine particles, the outlet hose can be connected e.g. to a suction funnel with filter paper. Clear liquid flowing from the sieve pan indicates the end of the sieving process. 6.3.
