Feed quantity Max. 10 ml (particle feed size ≤ 5 mm) Fitting and clamping the mortar 1. Move the clamping lever on the belt clamping device downwards and insert the toothed belt through the holder from the inside to the outside. 2. Place the mortar and the ball on the vibratory plate.
Using the device The amplitude is set manually with the Plus and Minus key on the control panel and viewed on the lid. (See Ä Chapter 6.3.1 ‘Displaying the amplitude’ on page 25) NOTICE! Do not allow the grinding balls to jump too high. This can cause damage to the lid! Start grinding at low a amplitude and increase it slowly - do not select an amplitude that is too high! (≤ 2 mm) There is a risk of the grinding ball destroying the lid.
Using the device CAUTION! When handling liquid nitrogen, the Guidelines for Laboratories, BGR 120, in particular Chapter 5.4.6, must be observed as well as the other relevant guidelines and codes of practice. Suitable protective clothing, particularly safety goggles and heat-resistant gloves must be worn. Only the smallest possible amounts should be handled. Make sure that the laboratory is adequately ventilated.
Using the device 6.3 Setting the amplitude Selecting the amplitude: n The vertical oscillation amplitude can be set in 0.1 mm steps using the + / - keys. Values between 0.1 and 3 mm can be set with the PULVERISETTE 0. NOTICE! Grinding at an amplitude higher than 2 mm can cause damage to the device and the grinding set. 6.3.1 Displaying the amplitude The amplitude must be checked on the amplitude plate on the clamping lid. The lines that appear to touch one another display the set amplitude.
Accessories 7 Accessories 7.1 Sound absorption hood In order to reduce the operating noise of the micro mill a sound absorption hood (Art. no. 00.0130.17) is available. 7.2 Conversion to Vibratory Sieve Shaker ANALYSETTE 3 SPARTAN The PULVERISETTE 0 can also be used as an ANALYSETTE 3 SPARTAN by using a sieve pan, test sieves and clamping lid. The ANALYSETTE 3 SPARTAN is used to sieve dry bulk solids as well as particle collectives in suspensions.
Accessories 1. The sieves are placed onto the sieve pan (with increasingly larger mesh widths, i.e. finest sieve at the bottom) and loosely inserted into one another with seal rings until the sieve set is complete. NOTICE! The sieve mesh width must increase from the bottom to the top.
Accessories 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. Loosen the sieve tensioning system after sieving: Unscrew both knurled knobs by turning them to the left in parallel until the knurled knobs can be removed from the holders on the sieve cover.
Accessories Maximum load: ‐ Sieving stock < 1 kg ‐ Sieves and sieving stock < 6 kg 7.2.2 Dry sieving For dry sieving, use the dry sieve pan (without outlet) and the dry clamping lid (plexiglas clamping lid without nozzles). 7.2.2.1 Sieving parameters Parameters Coarse sample Fine sample Sieving time 3...20 min 15....30 min Amplitude 2.5....3 mm 1.5....2.
Accessories 7.2.3 Wet sieving CAUTION! Do not use highly flammable and flammable liquids such as ketones and benzines. For wet sieving, use the wet sieve pan (with outlet and outlet hose) and the wet clamping lid (plexiglas clamping lid with two rotation nozzles). Place the preferably well-dispersed sieving stock (see Ä Chapter 7.2.3.2 ‘Wetting agents’ on page 30) into the top sieve and clamp the wet clamping lid. CAUTION! Do not allow any liquids to flow into the device. 7.2.3.
Accessories 7.2.3.3 Feeding the rinsing liquid At the quick-release coupling (N) on the plexiglas clamping lid with 2 rotation nozzles, connect a hose (with hose clamp), through which the rinsing liquid can be fed. Feed just enough water or alcohol (only possible with additional pump) to prevent a backup in the sieve set. The maximum amount of liquid is determined by 2 rotating nozzles on the clamping lid (approx. 1.5 l/min at approx. 2 bar).
Accessories 7.2.3.5 Tips for wet sieving of difficult sieving stock n For wet sieving of difficult sieving stock, reduce the feed quantity and choose sieves with closely staggered mesh widths. n Switch on Interval mode; sieving time: 3...5s (only possible with ANALYSETTE 3 PRO) n After the top sieve has sieved completely (is free of fine particles) remove the top sieve after taking off the clamping lid and clamp the clamping lid on the next sieve.
Accessories 7.2.5 Setting the sieving time The sieving time can be set in increments of minutes using the +/- keys. Values between 1 and 99 minutes are possible; after a sieving time of 1 hour, let the device cool down. Continuous operation is set by holding down the "-" key until "P" or "00" appears on the display. 7.2.6 Einstellung und Anzeige der Amplitude This is done in the same way for sieving as for grinding with the mortar attachment. (see Ä Chapter 6.
Accessories 7.2.7 TorqueMaster for easy clamping of the sieve set As an alternative to standard clamping devices, the Torque‐ Master can be used for faster and more accurate clamping. 1 2 3 4 5 TorqueMaster clamping unit with toothed belt Clamping lid Hexagon socket bit (5.5) Cordless screwdriver (with battery and charger) Unclamping aid NOTICE! The unclamping aid included is to be used exclusively for releasing a clamped sieve stack (in case of malfunction of the cordless screwdriver).
Accessories 1. The starting position of the clamping system is the position at which both indicators are roughly in the centre of the respective display range. This position later ensures that sieve stacks of various heights can be clamped easily, or that there is sufficient space to release the system, remove it from the sieve stack and place it behind the device. 2. Insert the toothed belt in the belt clamping device as described in Ä Chapter 7.2.1.2 ‘Fitting and clamping the sieves’ on page 26. 3.
Accessories The clamping unit must be operated with the defined disengagement torque of the control element (cordless screwdriver). This disengagement torque must be set by the clamping system manufacturer. Thus other cordless screwdrivers, which were not set by Fritsch, must not be used. If cordless screwdrivers with too high a torque are used, it will cause irreparable damage to the clamping system for which no liability can be assumed.
Accessories 7.2.7.3 Releasing the TorqueMaster The TorqueMaster clamping device is also released with the cordless screwdriver. The clamping unit is released far enough so that it can be placed behind the device without changing the toothed belt clamp in the belt clamping device. The clamped toothed belts on the belt clamping device is only released or adjusted, when the number or height of the sieves in the sieve stack changes. 7.2.7.
Accessories 7.2.7.6 Maintenance of the TorqueMaster clamping device The clamping unit is largely maintenance-free. Cleaning with standard solvent-free cleaning agents is permissible. The clamping unit is closed to a large extent. Make sure that as little liquid, dust, dirt or other foreign bodies as possible enters the clamping unit through the outlets for the toothed belts.
