OverviewThe Azurit small plansifter MPAU is a space-efficient plansifter designed to sieve and grade powdered and granulated products. It is commonly used in milling and grain processing lines and as a control sifter in flour storage systems ahead of bagging and bulk loading.
Key benefits- Designed for easy cleaning and maintenance: wide front doors for quick installation and change of sieve frames and full access to all product-contact parts.
- Suitable for many products: multiple interchangeable sieve frames allow adaptation of flow diagrams for different sieving and grading tasks.
- High throughput on a small footprint: effective sieve area of 8.1–9.7 m² delivering high capacity with a favorable space-to-performance ratio.
High sifting performance- Equipped with Nova series sieves combining high throughput and separation efficiency.
- High number of sieves per stack provides a large effective sieve area (8.1–9.7 m²).
- Combi-cleaners moving between sieve cloth and sieve bottom to clean intensively every corner and reduce blinding.
- Capability to combine different sieve frames to form specific flow diagrams for fractionation of various products.
Flexibility- Configurable with different sieve frames and flow diagrams to handle a wide range of powdered and granular materials.
Hygienic design- Sieve stack and drive are accessible from all sides for straightforward maintenance and cleaning.
- Tightly installed sieve stacks reduce risk of cross-contamination between different products.
Applications- Sieving and grading of powdered and granulated products in milling and food processing.
- Control sifter in flour storage systems prior to bagging and bulk loading.
Process chain- Intake and pre-cleaning: removal of impurities and foreign material to protect downstream equipment and storage.
- Cleaning and conditioning: sections to remove contaminants (seeds, stones, metals) and condition moisture for storage and milling.
- Milling: separation of endosperm, bran and germ and subsequent grinding stages where sifters separate milled fractions.
- Storage and blending: storage in dedicated silos, controlled dosing and mixing for consistent final products.
- Bagging and load out: final product transfer to bags or bulk loading with dust control and accurate dosing/weighting.
Automation and digitalization- Integration with MES and process-control systems (example: Mercury MES) for recipe control, traceability, dashboards and IoT connectivity to monitor throughput, energy and inventory.
