Russell Finex 17240 Vibratory sieve

• Separating solids from liquids in food and beverage production.
• Grading powders and granules in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Removing oversized contaminants from ingredients in chemical processing.
• Ensuring product quality in ceramics and coatings industries.
• Recovering valuable materials from waste streams.

Typical throughput

Throughput for vibratory sieves of this diameter typically ranges from 100 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on material characteristics and mesh size.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor power generally between 0.5 kW and 2.2 kW.

Footprint

A compact vibratory sieve with a 550mm mesh diameter typically has a relatively small footprint, often less than 1 square metre, making it suitable for space-constrained environments.

Construction material

For food and pharmaceutical applications, units are typically constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Mesh diameter

This unit features a 550mm mesh diameter, which is common for medium-scale batch or continuous processing applications.

Separation capability

Vibratory sieves are effective for separating particles from around 20 microns up to several millimetres, depending on the installed mesh.

• What is the primary function of a vibratory sieve?

  A vibratory sieve is primarily used for screening, grading, or de-dusting dry powders, granules, or slurries by separating particles based on size using vibration and a mesh screen.

• What does 'magnetic separator' mean in this context?

• Is this unit suitable for liquid applications?

• What maintenance is typically required for a vibratory sieve?

• Can the mesh size be changed?

• What are the benefits of a 'mobile' unit?

Sorting and grading equipment is valued for consistent product quality and labour cost reduction. Buyers typically prioritise machines with straightforward mechanical design, as these prove more reliable when used. Key considerations include checking calibration accuracy, examining wear on sorting mechanisms, and verifying spare parts availability. Industry experience suggests mechanical models offer better longevity than complex electronic variants. Robust construction and established brand reliability remain important factors when selecting secondhand units.
