Mikro Air Jet Sieves

Sieves, Mikro Air Jet

Knowing the size distribution of soil aggregates is critical to their longevity and functionality. An aggregate’s susceptibility to movement by wind and water as well as its pore capacity are ultimately determined by the size of its particles. A sample’s particle size distribution is analyzed to gain information on the size of the aggregates as they exist in the mass of soil.

The Mikro Air Jet Sieve® is a highly accurate and reliable particle size analyzer for aggregate samples. This versatile device is used throughout the world to determine the particle size distribution of dry powders ranging from 20 µm / #635(mesh) to 4,750µm / #4(mesh). The Mikro Air Jet Sieve® is currently being used in a wide range of markets including chemicals, minerals, pharmaceuticals, food, plastics, and cosmetics.

The air jet sieve has a number of functionalities including:
• Determining the particle size of a wide range of dry powders
• Calculating the average particle size below a specified cut point
• Confirming that a powder top size does not exceed product specifications
• Working as a small lab-scale classifier

Humboldt provides not only the Mikro Air Jet Sieve® Apparatus but also the necessary accessories to perform a variety of air jet aggregate tests. These include:
