Vibrator Sieve

Applications & Use Cases

• Separating fine particles from coarser materials in flour mills and bakeries.
• Grading spices, herbs, and other dry ingredients by particle size.
• Removing foreign objects or lumps from powdered food products.
• Dewatering certain food products, such as washed vegetables or fruits.
• Sifting ingredients like sugar, salt, or cocoa powder to ensure consistency.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Typically ranges from 100 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on screen size and product density.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor sizes varying from 0.5 kW to 5 kW.

Screen diameter/area

For this class of equipment, screen diameters typically range from 600 mm to 1500 mm, or equivalent rectangular areas.

Mesh sizes available

A wide range of mesh sizes is typically available, from very fine (e.g., 50 microns) to coarse (e.g., 10 mm), depending on application.

Construction material

Units for food processing are commonly constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel for contact parts, with mild steel for non-contact frames.

Footprint

A typical vibrator sieve may require a floor space of approximately 1m x 1m to 2m x 2m, plus access for maintenance.

Vibration mechanism

Commonly employs eccentric weights on a motor shaft to generate multi-plane vibration.
