What do industrial sieve machines do?
The industrial sieve machines in our inventory are a bit different from the familiar kitchen sieve or the sieves used in the earthmoving sector. Our sieve machines are mainly used in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries. What is their function? Sieving is a mechanical size separation process. It is widely used for separating fine and larger particles, as well as for removing large solid particles from streams before further treatment or disposal. Sieving is a gravity-driven process where materials are passed over a sieve mesh, and the smallest particles fall through the openings. Typically, a stack of sieves is used when fractions of different sizes need to be filtered from a mixture with particles of varying sizes. Sieve machines can also be used to prevent product contamination with unwanted components.
What types of sieve machines are there?
Foeth's sieve machines mainly fall into the categories of vibrating sieves, rotary sieves, and pass-through sieves.
Vibrating sieve machines are perfect for sorting mixed substances. They use electrically generated vibration to allow the smallest substances to fall through the mesh of the filter. Because the movement is not only horizontal but also vertical, they are much more effective. This allows even smaller vibrating sieves to achieve a high throughput capacity. Vibrating sieves operate quite simply and are therefore relatively easy to maintain.
Rotary sieve machines are primarily used to remove impurities from a product. They operate by means of a screw or paddle system rotating at high speed within a stationary, cylindrical sieve, allowing the product to pass through the sieve due to centrifugal action. The largest particles remain on the sieve deck and are transported to the discharge via the paddle blades, located at the end of the sieve sleeve.
In addition to vibrating and rotary sieves, Foeth also offers pass-through sieves, sorting sieves, and sieve bends in its range. Due to the many different functions and applications, finding the right sieve machine can be challenging, but the right sieve can make your production process much more efficient.
