Tarnos - Vibratory Sieve

Applications & Use Cases

• Separating solids from liquids in food production processes.
• Grading dry ingredients by particle size, such as flour, sugar, or spices.
• Removing oversized or undersized particles from powders and granules.
• De-dusting products to improve quality and reduce waste.
• Recovering valuable product from waste streams.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment commonly ranges from 100 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on mesh size and product density.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a standard industrial 3-phase supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Screen diameter

For this model type, screen diameters are commonly found between 600mm and 1200mm.

Construction material

Food-grade vibratory sieves are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Vibration mechanism

Units commonly utilise an unbalanced motor or exciter to generate the vibratory motion.

Mesh sizes

A wide range of interchangeable mesh sizes are typically available, from fine micron screens to coarser meshes, to suit various separation requirements.
