NEXOPART e200 LS
Developed in the early 1950s, air jet sieve technology was developed to take the efficiency and accuracy of particle size analysis to greater heights. The Nexopart e200 LS keeps this tradition alive with its state-of-the-art design that delivers accurate results to modern lab settings.
Its user-friendly touchscreen control panel empowers you to control testing parameters, monitor testing progress, and register results with ease. The Nexopart e200 LS and its unique air jet technology, paired with one of four software variants, were built specifically for fine materials that are known to agglomerate.
So, whether you’re producing pharmaceuticals or formulating the perfect cement mix, the Nexopart e200 LS offers the perfect balance of accuracy, efficacy, and ease of use.

What is an Nexopart e200 LS?
The Nexopart e200 LS is an air jet sieve device designed for fine, agglomerated sample material. It utilizes a specialized vacuum system to create a strong airstream that breaks down particle agglomeration.
This allows the particles to find the mesh openings of your sieves, making for a seamless air jet sieve analysis.
With an easy-to-use user interface, four different software levels can unlock further details about your analysis. Alongside its core sieving capacity, the Nexopart e200 LS can often supplement dynamic image analysis systems or traditional sieve shakers.

How Does It Work?
Extremely fine particles tend to agglomerate and, therefore, often become lodged in the test sieve mesh. For this reason, air jet sieves have become the device of choice for sieving fine powders.
The Nexopart e200 LS offers maximum effectiveness with such materials. The reason for this effectiveness comes down to two components: a slotted nozzle that rotates in the sieving chamber and an industrial vacuum cleaner connected to the sieving chamber.
When the vacuum cleaner is switched on, it generates a vacuum inside the sieving chamber. The extremely narrow slot of the slotted nozzle accelerates the incoming air and flows against the sieve fabric at high speed from below.
The particles on the test sieve mesh are projected upward, slamming against the plexiglass lid. This causes particle agglomeration to break down.
However, almost instantaneously, the particles are drawn down through the sieve apertures by the vacuum’s suction. As a result, coarse material remains on the sieve, allowing it to be re-weighed.
The Nexopart e200 LS affords control over underpressure and sieving-relevant parameters, making obtaining accurate and repeatable results seamless.
Essential Product Information For You
Verify Your Air Jet Performance
The ALPINE e200 LS, like any other particle analysis instrument, may fall out of spec over time. Fortunately, there is an annual calibration program designed to ensure your air jet sieve analysis results remain reliable.
Accommodating Software Tiers
Expectations of an ALPINE e200 LS are set by the specific needs of the user. Understanding this, W.S. Tyler offers four software levels, ensuring you reach the desired testing results efficiently.
Particle Extraction Made Easy
There are instances in which the particles being tested via the ALPINE e200 LS can’t pass into the vacuum system. These particles can be easily retained using a recovery system instrument.
