AIR JET SIEVE® 200 LS-NReliable · Fast · Comfortable

Analysis sieving machine with modern equip-ment for extremely accurate, reproducible sie-ving analyses in the laboratory. The mem-brane keypad is well-defined and thus comfortable to use. The extraordinarily good dis-persion of the product brought about by the nozzle jet per-mits analyses down to 10 µm with micro-preci-sion sieves.

The 200 LS-N is the successor of Alpine’s po-pular 200 LS air jet sieve®, proven in practice for over 30 years.

ANALYSIS RANGE20 µm to approx. 4000 µm with 203 mm Ø analysis sieves

10 µm to 30 µm with 75 mm Ø micro-precision sieves.
