OverviewYour work deserves efficiency and reliability — EasySieve pro and EasySieve pharma replace previous EasySieve versions and extend functionality for the digital preparation, execution and evaluation of particle size analyses. The software documents steps automatically, reduces manual errors and supports time-saving, traceable sieve analyses.
Key benefits- Automatic recording and evaluation of weighing data — no manual transfer of handwritten notes; the software documents all steps automatically and transparently.
- Intuitive operation and modern design — customizable user interface tailored to workflows for maintaining overview under time pressure.
- Standard-compliant reports with integrated report editor — create reports to meet quality requirements and company policy.
- Complex transformations presented simply — graphical and tabular evaluations to quickly assess results.
- Complete control and data acquisition — guided sieving concept with automatic transfer of weighing data and control of sieving machines for reliable digital processes.
Guided sieving (workflow)The software guides the user step-by-step through the sieving process: method selection, sample identification, weighing sieves and sample, carrying out sieving, reweighing and evaluation. Workspace views show parameter setup, sieve management, measurement and results, comparison and trend analysis.
Functional highlights- Automatic scale recognition — common analytical balances are automatically detected and configured.
- Comprehensive data export — export results to Excel, CSV, PDF and image formats for reporting, archiving or further evaluation (LIMS, etc.).
- EasySieve pharma (additional) — hierarchical user management, integrated audit trail, encrypted data storage, E-signature and features for regulatory compliance.
- Weighing Assistant — recommends optimal sieve load after entering sample bulk density to avoid over- or under-loading; supports reproducible sieving.
- Weigh-In-Tolerance — define allowed weighing deviations as percentages for precise control of sample quantity.
- Backweighing-Tolerance — define reweighing tolerances and receive notifications when samples fall outside specified limits.
- Trend Analysis and Process Monitoring — compare multiple sievings across selectable parameters to detect deviations early, monitor sieve condition (blinding, tension), and ensure consistent quality.
- Connection to RETSCH sieving machines — control AS 200 / 300 / 400 / 450 control variants (AS 200 jet, AS 200 tap etc.) and create device profiles; can also evaluate data from other machines.
- Evaluation options — many evaluation data types including percentiles, quantiles, grain size distribution, span value, RRSB, AFS fineness number, specific surface area; multiple diagram types (cumulative, RRSB, histogram, density, residual distribution); overlay up to 32 results.
Supported machines & scopeControl RETSCH sieving machines: AS 200 / 300 / 400 / 450 control (incl. AS 200 jet, AS 200 tap). Create profiles for different sieving machines or balances and access them as needed. Test sieves from other manufacturers can also be used.
Reporting & data handlingBuilt-in report editor for standard-compliant documentation. Automatic storage of results, backup function, screenshot function, TeamViewer online support available for remote assistance. Advanced LIMS connectivity and flexible export formats: *.xls, *.xlsx, *.xps, *.csv, *.pdf, *.png, *.jpg, *.txt, *.rtf, *.html, *.mht.
