Material separation sieve LAKA

for foodsolid particle separationrotary drum

Overview
By pre-cleaning, the drum sieve LAKA removes wood, corncobs and other coarse objects from grain. It protects downstream equipment and is engineered for terminals, ports, reception areas and processing plants handling grain, rice and animal feed.

Key benefits

• Protects downstream equipment by removing coarse particles at the start of the process, ensuring continuous operation.
• Designed for straightforward maintenance with a large front door and removable side panels for easy access and cleaning.
• High throughput capacity suited to terminals and processing plants (up to 800 t/h).

Highlight features
The special design is key — Efficient coarse cleaning
The split sieve drum comprises inlet and outlet cylinders with a guided screw and configurable sieve combinations, delivering effective coarse cleaning even at high reception rates.

Maintenance options — Screen change and cleaning
Two maintenance options simplify screen replacement and cleaning: the inlet channel can be swivelled out via an arm; the sieve drum can be removed using a stationary crane trolley.

Rugged design — Solid base frame for constant operation
The drum sieve LAKA is built on a robust base frame for continuous operation. Optional wear protection can be fitted to extend service life.

Enclosed design — A clean and safe plant
The sieve is fully enclosed in a housing to enhance operator safety and contain dust and particles within the machine.

Use cases

• Pre-cleaning at terminals, ports and reception areas
• Processing plants for grain, rice and animal feed

Customer feedback
"Why did we invest in two Bühler drum sieves? As a big terminal, we receive 450000 tons per year from all over the world. The Bühler drum sieves remove large foreign particles without any problems and are very rugged in design. They also protect other equipment in our production process from being damaged."
