Russell Finex 17300 Vibratory sieve

• Separating solids from liquids in food production processes.
• Grading dry powders and granules by particle size.
• Removing oversized contaminants from food ingredients.
• De-dusting and de-lumping various food products.
• Sieving ingredients like flour, sugar, and spices for quality control.

Typical throughput

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.

Mesh diameter

This unit features a 500mm diameter mesh; other units of this type commonly accommodate a range of mesh sizes to suit different applications.

Construction material

Units of this type are typically constructed from stainless steel, suitable for food contact applications and ease of cleaning.

Power supply

Vibratory sieves commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, with typical voltages found in industrial settings.

Mobility

Many units, including this one, are designed to be mobile, often fitted with castors for easy relocation within a facility.

Footprint

For a 500mm diameter unit, the footprint is relatively compact, typically requiring less than 1 square metre of floor space, plus operational clearance.
