Large Vibratory Sieve

Applications & Use Cases

• Separating solids from liquids in food production.
• Grading dry ingredients by particle size, such as flour, sugar, or spices.
• Removing foreign objects or oversized particles from processed food streams.
• Dewatering washed produce or other food items.
• Classifying grains, seeds, or pulses based on size.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from several hundred kilograms to multiple tonnes per hour, depending on the product and mesh size.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 3-phase industrial power supply is typically required, often 400V, 50Hz.

Screen diameter/area

Large vibratory sieves typically feature screen diameters ranging from 900mm to 1800mm, or equivalent rectangular screen areas.

Number of decks

Units can have one or multiple decks; this listing specifies two screens, suggesting a multi-deck configuration for simultaneous grading.

Construction material

For food processing applications, contact parts are typically constructed from 304 or 316 stainless steel to meet hygiene standards.

Vibration mechanism

Units commonly employ unbalanced weight motors or electromagnetic vibrators to generate the necessary motion.

Suitable feed sizes

Can process a wide range of particle sizes, from fine powders to granular materials and small aggregates.
