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. 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. Information on the appropriate order for
staggering the sieve mesh widths and on conducting
a sieve analysis can be obtained from:
– the DIN 66 165 standard, Parts 1 and 2,
– the AUTOSIEVE program and / or
– our laboratory for technical applications.
2. Unscrew the knurled knob on the toothed belt as far as possible.
3. Move the clamping lever on the belt clamping device downwards
and insert the toothed belt through the holder from the inside to
the outside. The teeth of the toothed belt interlock with the teeth
of the belt clamping device.
4. Place the sieve set with the sieve pan centrally on the rubber pad
of the vibratory plate.
5. Place the sieving stock into the top sieve.
6. Fit the clamping lid so that the inner rubber surface seals the sieve
edge.
7. Attach the knurled knob with the tension belt fitting to the
clamping lid.
8. Lightly pull the toothed belt tight and move it upwards until its
teeth interlock with the teeth of the belt clamping device.
