SWECO SIEVE

• Separating solids from liquids in food processing, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
• Grading dry bulk materials by particle size, such as powders, granules, and aggregates.
• Recovering valuable solids from waste streams or clarifying process liquids.
• Deburring and finishing small components in manufacturing operations.

Typical capacity

Varies significantly based on material characteristics, mesh size, and application; commonly ranging from a few hundred kilograms to several tonnes per hour for dry screening, or several cubic metres per hour for liquid-solid separation.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on 3-phase industrial power, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, with motor sizes generally between 0.5 kW and 3 kW.

Screen diameter

For the LP model series, screen diameters commonly range from 450mm to 1200mm, influencing throughput and footprint.

Number of decks

This unit is described with 2 screens, indicating a two-deck configuration, allowing for two distinct separations or classifications simultaneously.

Construction material

The description notes a stainless frame, which is typical for hygiene-sensitive applications in food, dairy, and pharmaceutical sectors, ensuring corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning.

Footprint

A single-deck unit of this class typically requires a floor space of approximately 1m x 1m, with additional height for multi-deck configurations and access.

• What is the primary function of a Sweco Sieve?

  A Sweco Sieve, also known as a vibratory separator or gyratory sifter, uses multi-plane inertial vibration to achieve efficient particle size separation or liquid-solid separation.

• What does 'complete with 2 screens' mean for this unit?

• What are the benefits of a stainless steel frame?

• Can the mesh sizes of the screens be changed?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of equipment?

Sorting and grading equipment is valued for improving product consistency and processing efficiency. Buyers typically seek machines in good mechanical condition with minimal wear on critical components like belts, motors and calibration systems. Common strengths include reliable performance when properly maintained, cost savings versus new equipment, and compatibility with existing production lines. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers known for durability. Buyers should inspect electrical systems thoroughly and verify spare parts availability before purchasing used units.
