Russell Finex 17240 Vibratory Sieve

Applications & Use Cases

• Separating solids from liquids in food production.
• Grading dry powders and granules by particle size.
• Removing oversized contaminants from ingredients.
• De-dusting and de-lumping bulk materials.
• Quality control checks for incoming raw materials and outgoing finished products.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of vibratory sieve can vary significantly based on product characteristics, mesh size, and desired separation efficiency, but typically ranges from a few hundred kilograms to several tonnes per hour for dry products, or several hundred to thousands of litres per hour for slurries.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK, with power requirements generally between 0.5 kW and 2.2 kW.

Mesh diameter

For this model, the mesh diameter is 500mm, which is a common size for compact vibratory sieves, offering a good balance between footprint and screening area.

Construction material

Vibratory sieves for food processing are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance, as indicated for this unit.

Mobility

Many compact vibratory sieves are designed to be mobile, often fitted with castors, allowing for flexible placement and use across different production lines.

Footprint

Compact vibratory sieves with a 500mm mesh diameter typically have a relatively small footprint, making them suitable for installations where space is at a premium.
