Sanitary sifter increases screening capacity

A new 'Flo-Thru' sanitary sifter from Kason Corporation Europe reduces height requirements while increasing screening capacity, the company says.

A new 'Flo-Thru' sanitary sifter from Kason Corporation Europe reduces height requirements while increasing screening capacity, the company says.

The low-profile configuration of the K40-1FT-SS employs two unbalanced-weight gyratory motors mounted on opposing exterior sidewalls of the unit, instead of one motor positioned beneath the screening chamber, significantly reducing overall height.

The Stoke-on-Trent, UK-based firm says on-size particles pass rapidly through the 1016mm diameter screen in a vertical straight-through discharge path at higher rates than circular screeners having a centrally mounted gyratory motor and horizontal discharge paths. Oversize material exits through a side discharge spout.

All material contact surfaces, and the floor stand, are of stainless steel with continuous welds polished to cGMP, 3-A, USDA and FDA standards. Quick-release clamps allow rapid removal of screens and tool-free disassembly of frames for thorough wash down, in
