Basic structure Basic structure The PULVERISETTE 0 is equivalent in design to the ANALY‐ SETTE 3 SPARTAN, except that the ANALYSETTE 3 SPARTAN, like the PRO version, also uses a sieve set. Lid (also used in the ANALYSETTE 3 as a clamping lid...
People with health problems or under the influence of medication, drugs, alcohol or exhaustion must not operate this device. The of the PULVERISETTE 0 may only be operated by authorised persons and serviced or repaired by trained specialists. All commissioning, main- tenance and repair work may only be carried out by technically qualified personnel.
This makes it possible to react to changes in the vibratory system. The amplitude of the PULVERISETTE 0 is set manually with the Plus and Minus key on the control panel and viewed on the lid. 2.3 Obligations of the operator Before using the of the PULVERISETTE 0, this manual is to be carefully read and understood.
Safety information and use The of the PULVERISETTE 0 may exclusively be used within the scope of applications set down in this manual and within the framework of guide- lines put forth in this manual. In case of non-compliance or improper...

Only use original accessories and original spare parts. Failure to observe this instruction can compromise the safety of the machine.
European directives and void the guarantee. Only use the of the PULVERISETTE 0 when it is in proper working order, as intended and in a safety- and hazard-conscious manner adhering to the operating manual. In particular, immediately rectify any malfunctions that could pose a safety hazard.
76.6 dB (A) for grinding gravel. The value fluctuates depending on fre- quency, grinding stock and the material of the grinding set. When grinding with the PULVERISETTE 0, the operating noise is greatly reduced by using the sound absorption hood made of plexiglas (order no.: 00.0130.17).
Fuse under mains switch (on the back of the device) Replacement: 4 A M micro fuse, 5 x 20 mm 3.8 Load The maximum load of the PULVERISETTE 0 is up to 6 kg! 3.9 Material Maximum feed size 5 mm Maximum feed quantity 10 ml 3.10...
The device rests on three flat coil spring assemblies. Level the micro mill: – PULVERISETTE 0: Level the micro mill by screwing these feet in or out so that during grinding, the grinding stock is evenly distributed on the walls of the mortar bowl.
Installation 4.4 Ambient conditions WARNING! Mains voltage! – The device may only be operated indoors. – The surrounding air may not carry any electrically con- ductive dust. – Maximum relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 31°C, linearly decreasing down to 50% relative humidity at 40°C.
Installation 4.5.1 Adjusting the mains voltage CAUTION! Only qualified personnel may change the voltage range on the device! CAUTION! The voltage range may only be adjusted after the mains has been disconnected. CAUTION! If the values 06 or 07 are set at a voltage of 230V~, it will result in a defect in the sieve shaker during operation.
Initial start-up Initial start-up Perform initial start-up only after all work as described in Ä Chapter 4 ‘Installation’ on page 18 has been carried out. 5.1 Switching on The device must be connected to the power supply if this has not been done already.
Using the device Using the device 6.1 Conducting a grinding operation 6.1.1 Parameters Grinding duration 10 ... 30 min (average) Amplitude 1 ... 2 mm (max.) Feed quantity Max. 10 ml (particle feed size ≤ 5 6.1.2 Fitting and clamping the mortar Move the clamping lever on the belt clamping device downwards and insert the toothed belt through the holder from the inside to the outside.
Using the device The amplitude is set manually with the Plus and Minus key on the con- trol 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! (≤...
The grinding elements can then be cooled down enough for grinding to begin. The same must be observed as for normal grinding with the PULVERISETTE 0 as described above. (See Ä Chapter 6.1.2 ‘Fit‐ ting and clamping the mortar’ on page 22).
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.
(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 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 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.
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...
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...
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 pos- sible with additional pump) to prevent a backup in the sieve set.
Accessories 7.2.3.5 Tips for wet sieving of difficult sieving stock For wet sieving of difficult sieving stock, reduce the feed quantity and choose sieves with closely staggered mesh widths. Switch on Interval mode; sieving time: 3...5s (only possible with ANALYSETTE 3 PRO) 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 "-"...
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. TorqueMaster clamping unit with toothed belt Clamping lid Hexagon socket bit (5.5) Cordless screwdriver (with battery and charger) Unclamping aid NOTICE!
Accessories 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.

(cordless screwdriver). This disengage- ment 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.
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.
