VTR-1014
Alpine Air Jet Sieve
10 µm – 4 mm · 200 mm sieves · ISO 4610 / DIN 66165 · vacuum + purge
Overview
The Vector VTR-1014 Alpine Air Jet Sieve uses negative-pressure air jet sieving to size fine and ultrafine powders that conventional mechanical shakers cannot reliably classify — from about 10 µm to 4 mm depending on material and sieve stack.
A rotating slit nozzle draws air through the test sieve under controlled vacuum, dispersing agglomerates and passing only particles below the mesh aperture. The result is a reproducible particle size distribution for cement, minerals, chemicals, food ingredients, and pharmaceutical powders where fines control matters.
The VTR-1014 supports workflows aligned with ISO 4610 and DIN 66165, with standard 200 mm test sieves, integrated vacuum, and optional purge accessories for consistent sample conditioning between runs.

Standards & conformity
Browse the standards library
Designed for particle size analysis workflows referencing ISO 4610 and DIN 66165 air jet sieving practice. Supplied as CE-marked laboratory equipment with Vector application support for sieve selection and vacuum setup.
Applications
Air jet sieving is the reference method when mechanical vibration cannot break agglomerates or when sub-40 µm fractions must be reported with confidence.
Mining & minerals
Ultrafine tailings, ground ore, and industrial mineral powders where agglomeration skews mechanical sieve results.
Food & agriculture
Flour, starch, sugar, and additive powders — hygienic sieving with repeatable fine-end classification.
Chemicals & pharmaceuticals
Pigments, toners, API, and excipient batches where particle size distribution affects performance and release.
R&D & teaching
Method development and student labs comparing air jet vs mechanical sieving on cohesive fine powders.
Key features
Negative-pressure dispersion, standard sieve compatibility, and accessory support for repeatable fine-particle analysis.
Air jet dispersion
Rotating nozzle and controlled vacuum break agglomerates so only undersize particles pass — essential for cohesive fines.
Ultrafine range
Classify powders from about 10 µm upward — where conventional shakers lose accuracy on fine fractions.
Standard test sieves
Uses 200 mm diameter ISO test sieves across a wide mesh range for flexible stack configurations.
Integrated vacuum system
Stable negative pressure for consistent jet velocity and repeatable residue-on-sieve results shift to shift.
Purge accessories
Optional purge and accessory kit for sample conditioning, cleaning, and line preparation between campaigns.
Laboratory equipment
CE-marked unit for industrial QC labs, commercial testing houses, and research facilities.

How it works
Sample is placed on a test sieve and enclosed under a lid. Vacuum draws air through a rotating slit nozzle, creating a jet that disperses the powder against the mesh. Particles finer than the aperture pass through; the residue is weighed to determine the size fraction.
- Controlled vacuum — stable jet energy for repeatable dispersion.
- Timer-based cycles — defined sieving duration per method or internal SOP.
- Stack flexibility — single-sieve or multi-sieve sequences for distribution curves.

Purge & accessory kit
Consistent results depend on a clean vacuum path and properly conditioned sample. Vector supplies purge and accessory components to support line clearing, sample handling, and routine maintenance between high-throughput shifts.
- Line preparation — purge accessories for stable vacuum before each run.
- Sample handling — compatible tooling for cohesive fine powders.
- Vector support — sieve selection, vacuum sizing, and method guidance.
