RETSCH 60.166 stainless steel test sieves – A benchmark solution for demanding sieving applications
The RETSCH 60.166 series of test sieves is recognised worldwide for its precision, robustness and compliance with international standards. Designed for reliable particle size analysis, these sieves are made of high-quality stainless steel, both for the frame and the woven wire mesh, ensuring optimum resistance to corrosion, chemicals and wear. Their careful finish and robust design make them ideal instruments for intensive laboratory environments, while being durable enough for industrial production sites.
With a useful diameter of 400 mm and a height of 65 mm, these sieves can handle larger sample volumes than standard 200 or 305 mm models. This makes them particularly useful for large-scale quality control or research applications requiring increased separation capacity. Mesh openings range from 25 microns to 125 millimetres, allowing for both fine and coarse screening, depending on the nature of the material being analysed.
Each sieve complies with ISO 3310/1, ensuring rigorous mesh standardisation, uniform mesh tension and complete traceability. RETSCH also offers quality control certificates and calibration certificates on request for applications subject to strict quality standards such as ISO 9001. This rigour makes RETSCH sieves the preferred choice in the pharmaceutical, food, chemical, geological, construction and metallurgical industries.
These sieves can be used in combination with various models of vibrating, electromagnetic or rotary sieve shakers, whether RETSCH brand or compatible. The reinforced edges ensure stable stacking, and the markings engraved on each frame clearly indicate the dimensions, reference standard and mesh size. This facilitates the organisation of equipment in the laboratory while reducing the risk of handling errors.
The 60.166 sieves also stand out for the consistency of the sieving results they deliver. Thanks to their smooth surface and rigidity, materials flow evenly across the screen, improving the efficiency of the separation process and reducing analysis times. Finally, they are easy to clean and disinfect, which is essential in sensitive areas such as the food and pharmaceutical industries.
