Russell Finex - Russell Sieve

Applications & Use Cases

• Separating solids from liquids in food production.
• Grading dry powders and granules by particle size.
• Removing oversized or undersized contaminants from food ingredients.
• De-lumping ingredients to ensure consistent product quality.
• Recovering valuable product from waste streams.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Varies significantly based on product, mesh size, and model, but units of this type commonly process from hundreds of kilograms to several tonnes per hour.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with motor ratings generally between 0.5 kW and 2.2 kW.

Sieve plate diameter

For this class of equipment, sieve plate diameters are commonly found ranging from 600mm to 1200mm.

Construction material

Units designed for food processing are typically constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel for contact parts, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Mesh sizes

A wide range of mesh sizes is typically available, from very fine micron screens up to several millimetres, depending on the application.

Footprint

Compact for their capacity, typically requiring a floor space of approximately 1m x 1m to 1.5m x 1.5m, plus access for operation and maintenance.
