    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).

  • Page 28: Sieving Aids

    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 fre- quency. The amplitude set point must be reduced accordingly in this case. When the machine has warmed up, the set point can be increased accordingly.

    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 2...2.5 mm 6.3.2 Wetting agents Wetting agents improve dispersion. Add tensides in liquid form (washing-up liquid, Dusazin etc.) in small amounts only (dropwise), to prevent frothing.

  • Page 30: Extracting The Passing Particles

    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.

  • Page 33: Standby

    Using the device Do not switch off the device during this work. When the device is switched off, the sample material can stick or glue to the sieves. Transfer (rinse) the sieve residue into weighed bottles and dry it. Now the lower sieves can be sieved further. Continue dismantling as described above.

    (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 irrep- arable damage to the clamping system for which no liability can be assumed.

  • Page 39: Releasing The Torquemaster

    Accessories CAUTION! Follow the separate operating instructions of the cord- less screwdriver manufacturer. These are included with the device. When clamping, make sure to lift the TorqueMaster slightly (illustration 1 + 2). If the toothed belt is not slightly tensioned, it will be crushed in the Torque- Master (illustration 3 + 4).

    (1 mm to max. 2 mm), as the impact frequency of the grinding ball is then highest. Similar to the ANALYSETTE 3 SPARTAN, the amplitude is set manually with the Plus and Minus key on the control panel and viewed on the lid.

  • Page 42: Parameters

    Accessories There is a risk of the grinding ball destroying the lid. The grinding stock can be added to the mortar bowl either dry or in suspension. CAUTION! Do not allow any liquids to flow into the device. To reduce the grinding noise, we recommend using a sound absorption hood (order no.
