Reimelt RS2A Inline sifter

• Used in bakeries and food production for sifting flour, sugar, and other powdered ingredients.
• Applied in pharmaceutical manufacturing for ensuring uniformity and purity of powdered active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients.
• Utilised in chemical processing to remove agglomerates and foreign particles from powdered chemicals.
• Integrated into snack food production lines for grading and preparing ingredients like spices or coatings.
• Employed in dairy processing for sifting milk powders and other dry dairy ingredients.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 500 kg/h to several tonnes per hour, depending on the product density and mesh size.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 3-phase electrical supply is required, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor power varying from 1.5 kW to 7.5 kW.

Sifting mechanism

Inline sifters like the Reimelt RS2A typically use a rotating paddle or brush system to force product through a cylindrical screen.

Screen mesh sizes

A wide range of mesh sizes are available, commonly from 50 microns up to several millimetres, to suit different product specifications and impurity removal needs.

Construction materials

Units are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for contact parts, ensuring hygienic operation and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

Inline sifters are designed for integration into existing process lines; dimensions typically range from 800mm to 1500mm in length, with a diameter of 300mm to 600mm.

• What is the primary function of an inline sifter?

  The primary function is to remove impurities, break down lumps, and aerate powdered or granular products as they are conveyed through a process line.

• Can this sifter handle different types of dry products?

• How often do the screens need to be changed or cleaned?

• Is this type of sifter suitable for continuous operation?

• What maintenance is typically required for a unit like this?

• What are the benefits of using an inline sifter over a batch sifter?

Sorting and grading equipment is valued for improving product consistency and processing efficiency. Buyers typically seek machines in good mechanical condition with minimal wear on critical components like belts, motors and calibration systems. Common strengths include reliable performance when properly maintained, cost savings versus new equipment, and compatibility with existing production lines. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers known for durability. Buyers should inspect electrical systems thoroughly and verify spare parts availability before purchasing used units.
