Rotary sifter

2008 / 2 / 1

Model RS 3 E

Construction

Function

Application area

Compact, stabile, low vibration construction of stainless steel 1.4301 and

aluminium, which operates according to
the proven rotation principle and designed for a long service life with higher
performance.

Reimelt sifters are used for the gentle removal of foreign objects and
coarse materials in an automated
system. Reimelt, with over 100 years
of experience, offers dependable and
safely functioning units used to protect
down-stream equipment, loosen up
product, fractionation and control sifting. When used as an in-line sifter, it
can be connected directly into the
pressure or vacuum conveying line for
a pressure-tight operation of up to 0,8
bar.

Areas of application in the food, chemical, plastics processing and pharmaceutical industries, as well as for
small and large-scale bakeries as:

Problem-free cleaning, simple control

and removal of the coarse materials.
Easily controlled and exchangeable
sifter screen. Feeding screw and beater
bars are equipped with double-bearings
and sealed from the product area
through additional sealing rings. The
sifter screens are constructed from
Polyester or Polyamid.
Machine housing and innercomponents in stainless steel
Inlet housing and lid in cast aluminium alloy
Direct-driven screw shaft by flanged
motor
Segmented pre-sifter drum, bearing
air purge and side inspection opening

Pre-sifter before silos or in bag

dump stations
After-sifter under hoppers
In-line sifter for pressure-tight operations (up to 0,8 bar pressure and
vacuum) in pneumatic conveying
systems

Accessories and special design:

Fines collection cone and coarse
material outlet
Shut-off valve as an accessory for
the in-line sifter
Pneumatic Sifter screen purge
equipment
Motor suitable for operation with a
frequency converter far variable rotational speed
Automatic sifter screen monitoring
(Screen-D-Tect) for sifter screen integrity and function
Design according to Atex guidelines
94/9/EG for operation in zone 21 or
22.

Performance data and general information for rotary sifters

The provided performance data is not valid for machines with a reduced rotational speed.
Pressure-tight machines have only 70 80 % of the performance of atmospheric machines.
The values are valid for flour-like products with a maximum of 15,5 % relative moisture (like soft-wheat flour
or hard-wheat flour) and a specific density of approx. 0,5 for applications of polyester sifter screens.
The performance data applies for standard applications.
The percentage of fines in the coarse-product cone (based on the processed product amount)
is between 0,01 and 0,05 %, max. at 0,1 %.
A reduction of the through-put rate results in a reduction of the percentage of fines in the coarse material and viceversa.
