Principle

While negative pressure draws all the particles below a defined particle size down through a sieve screen, a positive airflow is introduced upwards through a rotating nozzle. This airflow de-agglomerates and disperses undersized particles and carries them to the vacuum collector.

This rotating nozzle method also eliminates the need for tapping or brushing and increases reproducibility with controlled measurements of pressure drop and duration. This device has become a preferred technology for such tasks as quality assurance of incoming raw materials, confirmation of final product specifications, and the efficient and trouble-free use of determining particle size.
