Batch sifter designed to meet food safety standards
housing, is designed to meet the most stringent food, dairy and
pharmaceutical standards, according to its manufacturer.
Kason Corporation's Batch Sifter is compliant with US regulatory standards and current good manufacturing practice principles in relation to food safety.
The unit scalps oversize particles down to 38 microns from dry bulk powders or solids-laden slurries and may be disassembled without tools for sanitizing.
The sifter is dust-tight, with a housing, motor and stand of stainless steel. It comes in 18in, 24in, and 30in. diameter and can be equipped with single or twin imbalanced-weight gyratory motors. It has vertical quick-disconnect clamps and continuously ground and polished welds.
The gyratory motor imparts multi-plane inertial vibration to the spring-mounted screening deck. On-size particles pass through the screen in a vertical discharge path at higher rates than with circular screeners having centrally-mounted gyratory motors and horizontal discharge paths, Kason claimed in a press release.
Oversize material can be removed manually or with a vacuum. The Batch Sifter features a gap-free flange arrangement where the screen support ring interlocks with the upper and lower frames of the screener.
The design allows the wire mesh of the screen to fully extend to the interior walls of the frame, eliminating the gap between the screen ring and frame wall of conventional screeners where material would otherwise collect.
The company offers wire mesh screening material in 304, 316, and magnetic 400-series stainless steel. This means that if the screens break the pieces can be captured by a magnet placed on the line.
The screens are mounted to support rings using food-safe epoxy and sealed using gaskets. Kason can provide buyers with a mesh-tolerance certificate.
