Stainless Steel Separation Screen

Applications & Use Cases

• Separating solids from liquids in food production lines.
• Grading and sizing dry ingredients such as grains or spices.
• Removing foreign objects or oversized particles from processed foods.
• Dewatering washed produce or other food items.
• Classifying powders and granules in confectionery or baking.

Typical Specifications

Typical screen material

Stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Mesh sizes

Commonly available in a wide range of apertures, from very fine to coarse, depending on the separation requirement.

Screen dimensions

For this class of equipment, screen sizes typically vary significantly, influencing throughput and footprint.

Drive mechanism (if vibratory)

Units often feature electric vibratory motors, commonly operating on 3-phase industrial power (e.g., 400V, 50Hz in the UK).

Throughput

Highly dependent on screen size, mesh aperture, and material characteristics; buyers should consult the seller for specific unit performance.

Cleaning and maintenance

Designed for ease of cleaning, often featuring quick-release clamps or removable screens for sanitation.

Construction

Typically robust, all-stainless steel construction suitable for washdown environments in food processing.
