Security Screening And Delumping Of Food Ingredients

Food ingredient production is an area where Sifters are used extensively to screen products prior to packaging. Existing physical plant layout and equipment configurations often require a compact in-line solution to security screen and delump a multitude of products before entering final packaging. Traditionally, vibratory sifters have been used in this industry. Their large size, vibration and lengthy screen changeover time of this technology makes regular maintenance, product changeover and integration difficult. This compromises valuable floor space, reduces automization and counters benefits of lean manufacturing environments.

The Quadro® FlexSift offers a compact, in-line, high-capacity, vibration-free solution for today' efficiency-minded ingredient manufacturers. The Quadro® FlexSift's compact design easily fits in-line with the existing bulk bag unloaders. As the FlexSift is a vibration-free technology, it does not interfere with load cells mounted on equipment or weigh scales. The quick screen/mesh changeover capabilities of the FlexSift decreases downtime between ingredient changes increasing the number of batches that can be produced, thereby helping to maximize lean manufacturing initiatives.
