EasySieve Control, evaluation, documentation EasySieve®, the software for grain size analysis from RETSCH, is far superior to manual evaluation in many respects. This is because the software is able to conduct measuring and weighing operations automatically – from registering the weights of the sieves to evaluating the data.
General Points Cleaning We recommend Retsch ultrasonic baths for a thorough but gentle time-saving cleaning of your analytical sieves. Please ask for our special leaflet on the “Care and Cleaning of Analytical Sieves“, which is available free of charge. The AS 200 tap may not be cleaned with running water.
