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.

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.

Cement & building materials

Fine fraction and residue on sieve for clinker, cement, limestone, and filler QC — complementing Blaine and strength programmes.

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.

Jet

Air jet dispersion

Rotating nozzle and controlled vacuum break agglomerates so only undersize particles pass — essential for cohesive fines.

10 µm

Ultrafine range

Classify powders from about 10 µm upward — where conventional shakers lose accuracy on fine fractions.

200 mm

Standard test sieves

Uses 200 mm diameter ISO test sieves across a wide mesh range for flexible stack configurations.

Vacuum

Integrated vacuum system

Stable negative pressure for consistent jet velocity and repeatable residue-on-sieve results shift to shift.

Purge

Purge accessories

Optional purge and accessory kit for sample conditioning, cleaning, and line preparation between campaigns.

CE

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.
