Setacciatore a getto d'aria AS 200 jet
pro / pharma
For sieving specialists: With the AS 200 jet pro and the GMP-conform AS 200 jet pharma, laboratory teams get a space-saving and user-friendly all-in-one sieving machine.
Sieve, weigh, and evaluate with a single device: Combining state-of-the-art air jet sieving with a built-in balance ensures precise and reliable sieve analysis in the shortest amount of time. The integrated AS 200 jet pro software via touch display ensures smart processes with maximum ease of use.
To celebrate the launch of the AS 200 jet pharma we are giving away two machines!
All you need to use the AS 200 jet pro / pharma is an external industrial vacuum cleaner. You can find suitable vacuum cleaners here:
The balance, which has been integrated into the machine design for the first time, is extremely robust – and patented in this setting! You can even use a rubber hammer to loosen any material that sticks to the lid during sieving without affecting the accuracy of the balance.
The integration of the balance not only saves additional space in your laboratory but also reduces errors. There is no need to transfer material between the sieving machine and an external balance, which effectively prevents material loss. Thanks to a high weighing readability of 0.01 g, all necessary data are recorded precisely during sieving, and the respective particle size is evaluated using the integrated software.
The air jet sieving process:
✔ eliminates the need for additional mechanical sieving aids
✔ protects the sample material through individual selection of pressure, speed and height of the used sieve
✔ enables short sieving times (typically 2-3 minutes per process)
As part of test equipment monitoring, you can calibrate the sieving machine (clock, speed & pressure sensor) and internal balance. As part of the RETSCH maintenance service, we are happy to take care of all calibration processes for you.
"Even when using the new AS 200 jet pharma for the first time, you immediately notice how well thought-out and user-friendly it is. I am particularly impressed by the guided sieving: the clear step-by-step instructions practically eliminate errors caused by omitted steps.
The integrated, robust balance is a real plus—it makes handling noticeably easier and saves valuable space in the laboratory, as an external balance is no longer necessary. Additional safety features such as the Weighing-Assistant, Backweigh-Tolerance, and trend analysis ensure even greater process reliability in our everyday laboratory work.”
Dr. Michael Ostendorf, Senior Expert Particle Technology/Science Fellow, Bayer AG
Thanks to native software integration, you always have control over the entire process chain via an intuitive touch display:
✔ Sieve Management ✔ Parameter Setup ✔ Method Setup ✔ Sieve Analysis | ✔ Weighing ✔ Data Evaluation & Reporting via USB or LAN connection ✔ Optional User Management (in the pharma version) |
The patented combination of sieving and weighing in the AS 200 jet pro offers you real added value.
The principle behind this: for sieving, the sieving chamber is connected airtight to the vacuum cleaner. For a precise weighing process, the airtight sieving chamber is mechanically decoupled.
Your advantage in everyday laboratory work: error-free, time-saving weighing and subsequent evaluation in a single process, without the hassle of transferring the sieve between the machine and the balance.
Not only existing customers benefit from our modular and sustainable development design. The AS 200 jet pro allows the use of all RETSCH test sieves with a diameter of 203 mm (8") and 200 mm (with adapter) and a height of 25 and 50 mm (1" and 2").
With the integrated software, you can easily perform both simple routine sieving and complex distribution analyses: and display all results immediately afterwards in both graphical and tabular form.
Ensure that the test sieve corresponds to the selected method and identify your samples by simply scanning the corresponding barcode! With a standard USB barcode scanner and the Sieve-Check option, you can check the compatibility of the selected method and the required test sieve. This reduces the potential for errors in the long term.
Determining adequate sample quantities is a real time-consuming task, especially when dealing with different sample materials in series.
Thanks to the new Weighing-Assistant in the AS 200 jet pro, this problem is now a thing of the past. After entering the respective sample bulk density, the system recommends a sieve-specific weighing range. This allows you to meet the specifications for the maximum permissible sieve load and the required minimum quantity in equal measure – and avoid incorrect sieving!
This function allows you to set your own parameters for your individual weighing processes. First, specify the sample quantity to be weighed. Then you can define define deviation tolerances as upper and/or lower limit in percent. Compared to the Weighing-Assistant (which refers to general standards), a narrower process-related loading range can be specified—tailored precisely to your needs.
Does your sample comply with the preset quality limits? With the Backweigh-Tolerance, you can ensure that the particle size and particle size distribution of the sample meet your requirements.
Deviations from the specifications appear immediately as a message on the display, giving you even greater process reliability!
Trend analysis can be used to compare several sieving processes based on freely selectable parameters. This allows you to benefit from simple and reliable monitoring of various quality criteria.
Detect early on when your sieves are no longer functioning in accordance with standards and need to be replaced.
Replace the often purely subjective assessments with objective measurement data that realistically reflects the current condition of your sieve. Trend analysis allows changes in sieve quality to be detected and faulty sieves to be replaced at an early stage. For certified sieve testing we offer the Retsch calibration service.
Monitor production processes change by continuously comparing multiple sieving processes. This allows you to identify potential changes in ongoing processes at an early stage and make immediate adjustments.
The internal wizard guides the user step by step through the entire process. Every process step is clearly explained and ensures reliable sieve processes. Human errors are reduced to a minimum.
The optional “Weighing Assistant” recommends a suitable sample amount which avoids errors based on overcharging the sieve but still keeping a minimum amount for a reliable sieve analysis by considering the sample’s representativeness.
The “Weighing Assistant” exclusively can be used with RETSCH test sieves and can easily be activated/deactivated in the method.
The AS 200 Jet Pharma is a separate model adapted to the needs of the pharmaceutical industry and other regulated environments. It offers all the functions of the AS 200 Jet Pro and has several additional features.
The AS 200 jet pharma variant offers you all the functions you need to meet the requirements of modern particle size analysis in accordance with GMP guidelines.
The system meets the software validation requirements according to
✔ ISPE GAMP 5
✔ FDA 21 CFR Part 11
✔ EC GMP Annex 11
for fulfilling with the highest standards in quality assurance.
The user management ensures complete transparency and security through the optional assignment of hierarchical access rights and passwords, as well as the setup of legally compliant e-signatures.
To make it even easier to meet internal or GMP requirements, a comprehensive documentation package is available as an option.

The documents are customized for your company and make initial setup easier for you.
An integrated audit trail records all process steps and activities and assigns them to the respective users. This guarantees genuine track and trace: all user activities and events can be traced back seamlessly.
With the optional high-performance cyclone, even extremely fine particles can be recovered without significant pressure loss during the sieving process. In addition, the use of a cyclone helps to extend the service life of the vacuum cleaner filter.
Optionally, you can easily connect your existing, qualified balance as an external device via USB. The internal software already offers factory-installed connection options for the most common balances.
Data can be transferred from the AS 200 jet pro / pharma to your Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) via a network connection.
Air jet sieving is the optimal method for dry sieving of samples with a high proportion of fine particles. Compared to traditional sieving methods, this process saves time and reduces your costs in the long term.
✔ As an alternative to vibration screening, this method offers a significantly higher process speed for fine particle sizes.
✔ Unlike other methods, air jet sieving uses only one sieve per sieving process.
Guided Sieving: After selecting the desired sieving method, the software guides you step by step through the sieving process. You can precisely control all relevant parameters via the control panel of the AS 200 jet pro. In addition, Guided sieving improves safety, as each step is clearly described, thereby reducing human error.

The AS 200 jet pro / pharma is equipped with a rotating slot nozzle, over which the sieve and cover are placed. A vacuum generates a strong air jet that swirls the sample particles on the sieve and distributes them. Sample material that is smaller than the mesh size of the sieve is transported by the reverse air flow to the cyclone or vacuum cleaner. The air jet also ensures continuous resolution of agglomerated particles (deagglomeration) and cleaning of the sieve mesh.
