Order-specific application
In its function and design, the machine described here is laid out specifically
for sieving:
bulk materials
to permit particle size analysis.
Any other application or the processing of a product(s) other than the
one(s) named above contravenes the order-specific application and is
thus prohibited.
Observance of the operating manual and adherence to the maintenance requirements also form part of using the machine in an order-specific manner.
It is impossible for the manufacturer to be conversant with all the properties of
the product(s) to be processed in the machine. Additional risks and hazards
may be caused by certain products. It is therefore the users responsibility to
assess these additional risks if any and to introduce suitable countermeasures.
Without special safety measures, the machine is not suitable for processing potentially explosive and/or flammable products.
Without special safety measures, it is prohibited to process harmful or
toxic substances with the machine.
Without special safety measures, it is prohibited to operate the machine

Principle of operation
The ALPINE air jet sieve e200 LS is an analysis device used for determining
the particle size of bulk materials.
The nozzle chamber is vacuumed by the vacuum cleaner, and the air that then
flows in enters through the rotating slotted nozzle into the product chamber,
where it disperses the material to be analysed and conveys the fines through
the apertures of the sieve.
The coarse material remains in the test sieve and can be re-sieved using a
sieve with larger apertures.

injuries.
The user is charged with ensuring that the following points are adhered to:
Operation, maintenance and servicing procedures are only to be carried out by skilled and qualified personnel who are fully conversant with
the safety regulations and the machine's operating instructions.
The qualified personnel must have been both designated and authorised
by the user or the occupational safety delegate.
Make sure the air jet sieve and accessories are always connected up to
the correct power supply (see nameplate).
If safe operation of the sieving system can no longer be guaranteed,
the entire sieving system must be shut down, disconnected from mains
power and secured against unintentional restarting.

Safe operation is no longer possible, for example:

if a system component becomes defective,

if parts of the sieving system are visibly damaged,
if the sieving system no longer functions perfectly,
if parts of the sieving system got wet,
if the bottom cover of the air jet sieve is removed,
if any covers on the power pack are removed,
if tramp material has made its way into the air jet sieve,
after prolonged storage under unfavourable conditions or after being
subjected to rough transport conditions.
Always disconnect the mains plug before:

Cleaning the air jet sieve and accessories;
Removing any connecting hoses or ductings;
Carrying out maintenance procedures;
Carrying out servicing procedures.
Installation only in dry rooms which are protected against the elements.
Any operating method that is not 100% safe is strictly prohibited!

Hardware
There are no servicing instructions included with this operating manual. Safety reasons dictate that repairs and servicing procedures be carried out by HOSOKAWA ALPINEAG or an authorised agent only.
Never remove the cover and test sieve or micro-precision sieve until
the nozzle has come to a complete standstill and the vacuum cleaner has
been switched off.
Wait until the vacuum cleaner has run down.
Never reach into the rotating nozzle.
Wait until the dust has settled.
When processing toxic or harmful substances, the user must take
special safety measures. These can include provision of safety clothing
(gloves, face mask, protective overalls) or installation in an enclosed
and separate room that may not be entered unless protective clothing is
worn.
During installation and operation of the machine and auxiliary equipment, the user must pay attention to:
The recommendations in this operating manual.
The relevant general accident prevention regulations.
The relevant local accident prevention regulations.
The specific directives of the competent trade association and/or the
relevant national directives.
The user is responsible for ensuring that the prescribed accident prevention
measures are carried out, the accident prevention regulations are adhered to.
and that the safety equipment is installed and in good working order at all times.

2.5 Noise
The machine belongs in the category of plant equipment whose noise emission generally reaches a level of 80 dB(A) or more (as defined in DIN 45 635).
The noise level generated by the machine is governed by various factors, e.g.
type of product, site of machine installation, etc.
It is therefore impossible to quote a generally valid sound pressure level.
When operating the machine within the European Union, the EC Directive2003/10/EC (dangers caused by noise pollution at the workplace) must be
observed, and when operating the machine in Germany, the regulation on
noise BGV B3 issued by the relevant trade association must also be
observed in addition.
In other countries, the respective national standards and directives must be
observed.
If the noise emission exceeds the max. level of 85 dB(A), the directive RL
2003/10/EC dictates a number of mandatory measures, among them the use
of suitable ear protectors.
The main source of noise with this system is the vacuum cleaner. By applying
suitable measures, e.g. screening off the vacuum cleaner behind a noiseabsorption panel, the sound pressure level can be reduced significantly.
2.6 Workplace
398000
The workplace for the operating personnel is in front of the installation table.
The workplace must be kept clear and uncluttered at all times.

Preliminary Procedures
4.1
Transport / storage
4.1.1 Transport
Transport
The air jet sieve must not be knocked, shaken or thrown through the air during
transport.
If the temperature fluctuates strongly during transport (e.g. during air transport),
the air jet sieve must be protected against condensation to prevent damage
to the electric components.
When transporting the machine, the 89/655/EEC directive on the use of
technical equipment or the corresponding national standards and directives
must be observed.
Packaging
The packaging was selected to suit the means of transport and conforms with
the prevailing packaging directives.
If returning the air jet sieve for servicing procedures, always use the original
packaging. Liability reasons dictate that we are unable to accept an air jet
sieve and accessories that are returned to us in non-original packaging.
4.1.2 Intermediate storage

If storing the air jet sieve and individual units for prolonged periods, make
sure that:
they remain packed in the original packaging
they are stored in a dry room
they are protected against dust, moisturem, strong sunlight and the elements, and that
the temperature of the storage area ranges between 0 and 50C.
Because of the risk of damage caused by condensation, avoid strong fluctuations in temperature.
4.1.3 Unpacking keep the original packaging material!

Check the delivered goods including the accessories for completeness.
If the delivery is incomplete or if transport damage is visible, contact the forwarder or HOSOKAWA ALPINE immediately.

eyes.
Exercise particular care if processing harmful or toxic
substances!
Wear suitable protective clothing to suit the hazard class
of the product being processed (gloves, face mask, protective overalls, etc.).
If necessary, install the machine in an enclosed and separate room that may not be entered unless protective clothing is worn.
Cleaning waste
All cleaning waste (product residues, dirty cloths, dirty water,
etc.) must be disposed of in a proper manner.
Harmful or toxic residues (pharmaceutical active ingredients,
various chemicals, etc.) must be disposed of as toxic waste.
The user is responsible for deciding on the toxicity of the waste!

5.1.2 Test sieves

Cleaning and inspection intervals
A basic cleaning and rudimentary inspection for damage to the sieve gauze
must be carried out before and after every single sieving operation.
In addition, the test sieve must be thoroughly cleaned and inspected in detail at
regular intervals. The intervals are dependent on the products to be analysed
and the sieve mesh width. As a rule of thumb, the following applies:
Test sieves < 63 m: after every 5th sieving process
Test sieves < 150 m: after every 10th sieving process
Test sieves > 150 m: after every 20th sieving process or as necessary.
Cleaning the test sieves
The cleaning method is dependent on the mesh width, the degree of soiling
and the product.
See also DIN 66 165, Parts 1 and 2 as well as ISO 2591-1.
Cleaning sieves with mesh widths of 500 m and finer
NOTICE

Sieve damage or destruction.

These test sieves are extremely sensitive and must never be
cleaned with a cloth or brush, etc.
Clean the sieves in an ultrasonic bath.

Then rinse the sieves with clear water and use compressed air to carefully blow out the sieve deck so that there are no residues.
Drip-dry for about 5 minutes and then allow to dry for approx. 30 minutes
at max. 100C.
Dislodge any trapped particles by tapping the sieve frame lightly against
a wooden or aluminium surface.
Ultrasonic cleaners can be ordered from HOSOKAWA ALPINE.

Hardware
Inspecting the test sieves

Visually inspect the test sieve for damage and dirt residues after cleaning
and drying.
Inspect the test sieves for damage to the sieve gauze and for any clogged
particles which were not removed during cleaning. The following inspection
procedures are in general use:
Visual inspection

Hold the test sieve up against the light, e.g. in front of a window or a light
table. It is advisable to use a magnifying glass in the case of fine-mesh
sieves.
Comparison sieving

Prepare a relatively large sample of a product that has a known particle

size distribution. It is essential that initial determination of the particle
size takes place with an air jet sieve equipped with a new test sieve. The
sieving parameters must be identical for the reference sieving and the
comparison sieving.
Sieve exchange

Especially with fine-mesh test sieves, it is not always possible with the
means available to detect all flaws or defects. In order to guarantee the
perfect condition of the sieve, it is preferable to exchange the test sieve
in this case.
Use of sieve gauzes as defined in the standards (usually DIN ISO 3310)

This method is actually intended for the manufacture and assembly of

test sieves. It is too complicated to be applied regularly by the user.
5.1.3 Vacuum cleaner

Pay attention to the vacuum cleaner handbook!
398000
With the vacuum cleaner (B) running, shake or tap the spiral hose lightly
to remove deposits.
Turn the vacuum cleaner off.
If in spite of adjustment, the operating pressure falls below the desired
set value, empty the filter bag.
Dispose of the filter (dust) bag in a proper manner.

5.1.6 Suction-side silencer

The suction-side silencer becomes soiled as a result of the ambient air it draws
in. If soiling is serious, the filter resistance rises. If, because of this, the air jet
sieve is no longer able to reach the preset underpressure, an error message
appears on the display. It is then necessary to renew the suction-side silencer.

Regular inspections
5.2.1 Inspections to be carried out by the user

Pay attention to the safety regulations in Section 2.4!
To permit conclusive and reliable measurements, the air jet sieve must be
checked regularly for function.
The components must be checked by skilled personnel every 500 operating
hours or more frequently if the product being sieved is strongly abrasive or
tends to cake. The user is charged with determining the inspection intervals
and with carrying out the inspections. It makes good sense to keep a record
of inspection procedures.
The following must be checked:
Air jet sieve:

The nozzle must rotate during sieving. This can be checked during
sieving by observing the product for movement. The nozzle aperture
must be kept clear; clean off any clogged particles.
Timer: check the accuracy with a stop watch.
Underpressure measurement: check the zero indicator with the air jet
sieve switched off.
Adapter rings (A4.4): check the seals for damage.
Sensor filter: visual inspection for soiling (Section 5.1.7).
Test sieves
Check the test sieves for soiling and defects, clean or exchange if
necessary (see Section 5.1.2).
Vacuum cleaner pay attention to the handbook!
Check the generated underpressure: repair or exchange the vacuum

cleaner if the operating pressure falls short of the setpoint value even
after fine-adjustment of the working pressure and exchange of the filter
bag, the absolute filter element and/or the filter fabric insert (orderspecific).
Check the filter bag for permeability; exchange if necessary.
Check the absolute filter element for permeability; blow through or
exchange if necessary.
Check the filter fabric insert (order-specific) for soiling; exchange if
necessary.

Sieving Methods
1.1
Sieving method overview

The e200 LS Lite differentiates between the standard and the Swiss sieving
method.
Each method also knows the difference between sieving without and with
consideration of the weight of the sieve, i.e. without sieve tare and with
sieve tare.
The method to be used should be determined at the time of defining the set of
sieves (Page B-21). If a sieving process is carried out without a set of sieves,
the settings in the configuration menu (Page B-36) apply.
1.2
Standard method
1.2.1
Fundamental sequence
With the standard method, first of all weigh a sample quantity, tip it onto the
finest test sieve, sieve it in the sieving machine and then weigh the remainder
of the sample batch. The difference in weight corresponds to the undersize
at this mesh width.
Repeat this procedure with the remainder of the sample batch using the next
largest test sieve in each case.
The software program enters the measured values automatically into a table
and converts this table into a graph.
The dialogue windows guide you through the entire sieving sequence.
Dependent on whether you weigh the sieve residue without or with the test
sieve, the program differentiates between two different sieving sequences:
Standard method without sieve tare
Fill the remainder of the sample batch from the test sieve into the weighing pan
and weigh it. Any residues left on the test sieve lead to analysis inaccuracy.

HOSOKAWA ALPINE
398000 / Version 00.09
Standard method with sieve tare

Dependent on the measuring range of the balance, you can weigh the entire
test sieve including the remainder of the sample batch after each sieving
process. The empty weight of the test sieve (tare) must be entered into the
system beforehand in order that the weight difference can be determined.

1.3
Swiss sieving method
1.3.1
Fundamental sequence
The Swiss sieving method is characterised in that every sieving operation is
always carried out with a full batch of weighed material.
With the Swiss method, you need a complete batch of weighed material for
every sieving operation. Fill each sample into the test sieve and perform the
sieving process. During sieving, it is not necessary to transfer the material to
another sieve.
Dependent on whether you weigh the sieve residue without or with the test
sieve, the program differentiates between two different sieving sequences:
Swiss method without sieve tare
Fill the remainder of the sample batch from the test sieve into the weighing pan
and weigh it. Any residues left on the test sieve lead to analysis inaccuracy.
Swiss method with sieve tare
Dependent on the measuring range of the balance, you can weigh the entire
test sieve including the remainder of the sample batch after each sieving
process. The empty weight of the test sieve (tare) must be entered into the
system beforehand in order that the weight difference can be determined.
Advantages
Every test sieve can be prepared in advance with a full batch of weighed material (e.g. in the case of toxic substances under application of a
suction unit).
During sieving, it is not necessary to transfer the material to another test
sieve.
The residue on the test sieve is not needed for other sieving operations
(advantage if, for example, the material is hygroscopic).
Any residues in the test sieve do not influence the result provided that
the test sieve is always weighed as well at the same time.
Disadvantage
B-4
HOSOKAWA ALPINE
398000 / Version 00.09
The batches of weighed material must be prepared in advance for every

sieving operation (max. difference between batches 5%).

Sieving
This description applies only to the eControl Basic variant and

activated sieving lite function (Page B-32).
In this configuration, sieving is restricted to the basic functions
and all evaluation functions are switched off.
The application is, for example, when sieving operations that do
not need to be logged are repeated often.
Sequence of a sieving operation
Place the weighed feed batch on the test sieve.
Press
to start.
Wait until the sieving time has elapsed and the air jet sieve is
at a standstill.
Now weigh the material.
Repeat the sieving process with the remaining material and
the next larger test sieve.
Pause
Interrupt the actual sieving process.

Determining the Sieving Parameters

The sieving parameters that need to be used in the analysis directive are often
already fixed, especially in the case of products that have been used within
a company since many years and air jet sieving analyses have already been
carried out regularly. This fund of knowledge forms the best basis.
In the case of new products or if an air jet sieve is installed within the framework
of quality assurance measures, the sieving parameters will first need to be
determined. In the case of standard products with no special properties, the
parameters can base on the generally valid standard values (see, e.g. Table
1.0-1); they must otherwise be determined with suitable means.

that you prepare your own performance directive which lists the exact batch
weight, sieving duration and underpressure in each case.

1.1
Sieve mesh widths

The sieve mesh widths which need to be used are usually dictated by market
specifications or process-specific reasons. The freedom to choose the sieve
mesh widths is often only possible within the framework of in-house product
specifications.
The particle size distribution of a bulk material is characterised by the position
and steepness as well as by the top-size particles. With two sieving processes
close to the distribution density maximum and one sieving process in the topsize range, the particle size distribution is in many cases already described
adequately. But if the requirements are higher, e.g. if a small fines fraction is
desired, a further sieving process in the undersize range must be carried out.
1.2
Batch weight
The amount of material to be weighed depends on the finest sieve in the mesh
scale. With a solids density of Ps 2650 kg/m3 (limestone), the values in Table
1.0-1 are applicable. The conversion to other solids density values is linear
(double the density = double the batch weight).
1.3 Underpressure
The underpressure needed for a sieving process is determined by the mesh
width of the inserted sieve. Generally speaking, this value should be between
5000 and 7000 Pascal for -76-mm micro-precision sieves, and between the
values shown in Table 1.0-1 (min. values) for standard sieves. (Note: 1 mbar
= 10 mmWG = 100 Pa.)
Determine individual settings for specific materials by running trials.
Always use the lowest operating pressure possible when sieving materials
of high friability.
See Part B for details of setting the underpressure.
398000
The actual underpressure is indicated on the display of the air jet sieve.

1.4
Sieving time
The sieving time is the parameter which has the greatest influence on the
result. If selected too short, the result can have an extremely negative influence on the analysis.
Studies and research carried out on this subject are covered in [2]. Table 1.0-1
offers reference values for products which are not considered difficult to sieve.
In view of the strong influence of this sieving parameter, it must at all events
be checked when selecting a standard sieving time from Table 1.0-1 by means
of the following procedure. This procedure should also be applied if the sieving time needs to be redetermined, but with more test points in this case.
The procedure described here may not be the only one in existence, but the
results of the other procedures in this respect are no better.
Residue [g]
Sieving time determination
Case A
Case B
Time [min]
Table 1.4-1: Graph with sieving time plotted against residue
As can be seen in the above graph, the weighed batch is sieved with the
residue being weighed after every elapsed minute of sieving time. In Case
A, this residue becomes constant after a certain time; the sieving time in this
example should be set at 4 minutes or longer. The setting is more difficult in
Case B because the product displays a progressively slight reduction of the
sieve residue. This case arises, for example, if abrasion is present. A sieving
time must lie in the flat part of the curve, i.e. 3 minutes in this case.
1.5
Dispersing agents
398000
If the product is sticky and tends to agglomerate, it is advisable to use

dispersing agents (see Section 2.5). It is unfortunately not possible to give
any generally valid information in this respect; if the product is problematic,
tests will need to be run.

Unfavourable Product Properties which Adversely Affect Sieving
2.1
Material deposits
Should material start to deposit on the cover during sieving, use the supplied
plastic hammer to tap the knob on the top of the cover every 10 seconds or so.
If applicable (order-specific), the electronically controlled tapper replaces the
plastic hammer.
2.2 Agglomerates
If lumps start to form, use a soft brush to disintegrate them with the sieving
process interrupted. Be careful not to damage the sieve gauze!
2.3
Sieving hygroscopic feed materials

Hygroscopic materials absorb moisture from the operating air during the sieving
process. This can lead to measurement errors.
The following measures can prevent this:
The use of conditioned operating air.
Drying the material being sieved both before and after the sieving process.
Use of the Swiss sieving method.
2.4
Electrostatic charging
Once electrostatically charged, the sieve residue adheres strongly to the gauze,
to the sieving drum, and to the Plexiglas cover.
Remedial measures:
As soon as the sieving process is finished, apply 0.5 1% (related to the batch
weight) of aluminium oxide C antistatic agent to the sieve. Close the cover.
Switch on again and let the nozzle rotate a maximum of 3 times. The material is
now no longer charged and can be brushed off without difficulty. In calculating
the sieve residue, the addition of the antistatic agent can be ignored.
Aluminium oxide "C" is a microdispersed, gamma-modified aluminium oxide.
Supplier: Degussa Ltd., Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
2.5
Sticky feed materials
398000
Extremely fine materials or those with a high content of fat cannot be sieved
easily. However, the addition of microdispersed chemically inert agents (e.g.
silica) can improve their flow properties. Aerosil 200 is particularly suitable in
this respect.
Supplier: Degussa Ltd., Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
It is normally sufficient if 2% is admixed to the feed material before charging it to
the sieve. This sieving aid does not need to be taken into consideration when
calculating the residue, because it passes into the fines fraction.

Operation with a Cyclone

Application: As an attachment to the vacuum cleaner if the fines are to be
recovered, or to prevent overload if a great quantity of fines is yielded.
The fines are collected in the wide-necked bottle and can be removed along
with the bottle. To this end, the air jet sieve must be switched off.
The ALPINE Air Jet Sieve in Quality Assurance

With the air jet sieve, Alpine offers a well-known and universally accredited
device for particle size analysis. It has been the analysis unit of choice in
R&D and production for many years, and is legally established in a number
of different product standards.
With respect to quality assurance, the time-proven principle of particle size
analysis with the ALPINE air jet sieve is especially suitable in the context of
certification as defined in ISO 9000 ff.
The following points are described in other sections:
4.1
Details of machine inspection:
see Part A
Cleaning and checking the sieves:
see Part A
Determining the sieving parameters:
see Section 1
Particle size definition
398000
Just about all the particles processed in industrial processes have a particle
shape that deviates from the ideal spherical form. This leads to the necessity
of defining the particle size of non-spherical particles. There are a number of
different possibilities, but generally speaking, the particle size is defined by
means of the measurement principle. In the case of air jet sieving, this means:
a particle is considered a certain size if it passes through the apertures of a
sieve of the mesh width in question freely, whereby the largest dimension of
the particle can by all means be larger than the mesh width.

Quality assurance requirements

The task of quality assurance during the manufacture, handling or use of bulk
materials is to guarantee the defined and uniform properties of these products
and any follow-on products. In the main, the following demands are made of
the measuring equipment used in this application:
Reproducibility
This is the difference between two results, whereby identical samples are
measured at identical sieving parameters but at different times. In [1], the
correlations are investigated dependent on the batch weight, sieve mesh
width and product fineness. Typical numerical values as a function of these
parameters lie between 0.2 and 1.5% sieve undersize fraction, see [2].
Comparability
This is the difference between two results, whereby identical samples are
measured at identical sieving parameters using different sieving machines
or the same sieving machine with different sieves of the same mesh width.
In addition to the faults from the reproducibility, faults occur here occasioned
by the limited precision of the test sieves. The permissible deviations of the
mesh widths are enshrined in the standards [3]. For example, for the average
deviation in one direction of the sieve gauze (dimension Y), the following
values are permissible:

32 m-sieve:
100 m-sieve:
315 m-sieve:
2.7 m
5.0 m
12.0 m
Documentation
The results must be recorded together with the respective peripheral conditions, and it must be possible where necessary to draw on these measuring
results.
To ensure that the above requirements are met, a number of different points
must be fulfilled:
The sieving machine and auxiliary units must be in good working order.
This must be checked regularly.
The test sieves must be free from damage and significant soiling. The
sieves must be checked and cleaned regularly.
The detailed sieving parameters must be recorded in writing. The operator must observe the parameters carefully.
398000
Besides the measured particle size, the documentation must also include the peripheral conditions, sieving parameters and sample identification.
The entire sieving procedure, the control of the measuring equipment
and the documentation must be specified in detail.
HOSOKAWA ALPINE
C-7
BA 1390/27.2 E
e200 LS
4.3
Individual operating points

It is important to prepare an analysis directive for every product. Besides
the sieve mesh widths to be used, this directive must include the associated
sieving times, dispersing agents and documentation requirements, this advantageously as a form to be filled out. The sieving analysis itself must be
executed by the operator with due care.
Sampling / sample preparation
Sampling and sample preparation (sample splitting) must take place in accordance with a defined method, and this in turn must be included in the analysis
directive.
Underpressure
The underpressure must be within the range stipulated for the respective
sieve mesh width.
Sieve selection / sieve insert error
Selection of the sieves is an integral part of the analysis directive. Prevention
of sieve insert errors is the responsibility of the operator.
Spillage of sample material
It is the operator's responsibility to prevent spillages. If product was inadvertently spilled during sample transfer, the complete sieving analysis including
any finer-mesh sieving analyses carried out with this sample must be repeated.
Sieving time
The standard time is specified in the analysis directive. It is the operator's
responsibility to comply with the specifications.
Dispersing agents
If the sieving process calls for the addition of a dispersing agent, this must be
recorded in the analysis directive with details of the frequency it is added, the
amount and the exact name.
Sieve cleaning
The analysis directive must also contain information on the length of the
intervals between cleaning and on the type of cleaning agents to be used.
Irrespective of this, any sieves that are visibly soiled must be cleaned.
Air humidity, temperature
398000
If applicable, i.e. if the product is adversely affected by these influences, these

parameters must be measured and documented.
