Vibrator Sieve

Applications & Use Cases

• Separating dry bulk materials by particle size in food processing.
• Grading powders and granules in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Removing oversized or undersized contaminants from aggregates and minerals.
• Sifting ingredients in chemical production to ensure consistent particle distribution.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Varies significantly based on material density, mesh size, and unit dimensions, but commonly ranges from 100 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Typically 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz, common for industrial machinery in the UK. Smaller units may operate on 230V, 1-phase.

Screen diameter/area

For this type of equipment, screen diameters commonly range from 450mm to 1500mm, influencing throughput and footprint.

Mesh sizes available

Units are typically supplied with interchangeable screens, allowing for a wide range of mesh sizes from coarse separation to fine powder sifting (e.g., 20mm down to 50 microns).

Construction material

Commonly stainless steel (304 or 316 grade) for contact parts, especially in food and pharmaceutical applications, with mild steel for non-contact components.

Footprint

A typical vibrator sieve requires a compact footprint, often a square or circular area slightly larger than its screen diameter, plus space for access and material handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What materials can a vibrator sieve process?

  Vibrator sieves are highly versatile and can process a wide range of dry, free-flowing granular, powdered, and crystalline materials. They are less suitable for sticky or highly abrasive materials without specific modifications.
