The microprocessor-managed measurement and control system of the AS 200 control vibratory sieve shaker maintains an unvarying vibration height, enabling complete reproducibility of outcomes even across separate AS 200 control shakers.
A specific feature distinguishes this RETSCH instrument from alternative models. Rather than adjusting the vibration height, users can configure the sieve acceleration, which remains unaffected by the power frequency. Combined with calibration capabilities, this feature guarantees uniform and reproducible sieving outcomes globally. Consequently, every criterion for test equipment monitoring relating to DIN EN ISO 9001 is satisfied.

Safe and Simple Operation
Handling the AS 200 control is straightforward and user-friendly.
Every sieving parameter – vibration height, duration, and interval – is digitally configured, displayed, and tracked.
Up to 99 parameter profiles (SOPs) can be saved for regular testing. Using the built-in interface, the device connects to a PC to be managed through the EasySieve® evaluation software. This application allows operators to execute the complete sieving workflow along with its resulting documentation effortlessly, precisely, and in compliance with established standards.

Wet Sieving with Vibratory Sieve Shakers
Wet sieving is the ideal option in many situations, such as when the material to be tested is a suspension or when a very fine sample (less than 45 μm) that tends to agglomerate needs to be sieved.
Wet sieving is possible with any of RETSCH's vibrating sieve shakers. Special accessories include collecting pans with an outlet and clamping lids with a spray nozzle.
Air cushions can expand without allowing liquid or sample material to escape by placing RETSCH's venting rings between the sieves.

Accessories and Options
The control series sieve shakers support installation of diverse accessories to accommodate numerous application needs.
Clamping Units
Utilizing RETSCH clamping devices allows sieves to be secured onto the sieve shaker safely, rapidly, and conveniently. The "comfort" clamping devices offer enhanced user-friendliness and time efficiency.

Accessories for Wet Sieving
Clamping lid with nozzle, collecting pans with outlet, venting rings.
Sieving Aids
Chain rings, brushes, cubes, balls (e.g., to minimize agglomerations during sieving of particles < 100 μm and maintain open mesh apertures).
IQ/OQ Documents
RETSCH delivers IQ/OQ documentation alongside "control" sieve shakers to assist with IQ/OQ certification for the clients.
Sample Dividers
Valid outcomes require the sample to accurately reflect the source material. Sample dividers generate representative subsamples, thereby guaranteeing analytical reproducibility.

Ultrasonic Baths and Dryers
Appropriate for deep cleaning of test sieves as well as rapid, gentle drying of both samples and sieves.
