Kemutec KEK Centrifugal sifter

• Separating oversized particles from powders in food production.
• Ensuring consistent particle size in pharmaceutical ingredients.
• Recovering usable product from waste streams in chemical processing.
• Debulking and de-dusting granular materials in mineral processing.
• Quality control for dry bulk solids in various manufacturing industries.

Typical throughput

Throughput for centrifugal sifters of this class typically ranges from a few hundred kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on the product characteristics and mesh size.

Power supply

This unit is specified as 3-phase, which is common for industrial sifters, typically requiring 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

As a 'stainless centrifugal sifter', the contact parts are typically 304 or 316 grade stainless steel, suitable for hygienic applications.

Mesh sizes available

The listing specifies 4mm or 6mm stainless mesh; units of this type commonly offer a wide range of interchangeable mesh sizes for different separation requirements.

Footprint

Centrifugal sifters are generally compact for their capacity, but buyers should confirm specific dimensions with the seller for installation planning.

Maintenance requirements

Routine maintenance typically involves checking mesh integrity, bearing lubrication, and motor condition, with easy access for cleaning being a design feature.

• What is a centrifugal sifter used for?

  A centrifugal sifter, like the Kemutec KEK, is primarily used for the high-capacity separation of fine powders and bulk solids, removing oversized particles or foreign matter to ensure product quality and consistency.

• Can this sifter handle different types of dry powders?

• How easy is it to change the mesh size?

• What are the benefits of a centrifugal sifter over a vibratory sifter?

• Is this unit suitable for food-grade applications?

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.
