Different sized particles are separated from each other in Vibratory Separators (also called Sifters) by using a vibrating motion.
The Vibratory Separator can be used for screening dry powder or granular products as well as wet products and liquids. The Vibratory Separator is also often called as a vibrating sieve.
Kapotek offers a variety of screening solutions for industrial applications. Our equipment range includes various sizes and designs for all types of Vibratory separators for different screening applications. The Vibratory Separator, which is sometimes also called a vibrating screen or vibrating sieve is a device in which the particles of different sizes can be separated from each other by using vibrating motions. Vibrating screens can be used for dry powders or granular materials as well as wet screening products and liquids.
Product fractioning with Vibratory Separator
A Vibratory separator enables for powders and granules to separate products from two up to five different sizes/fractions. The Vibratory separator is equipped with one to up to four different aperture size of the mesh on top of each other. The largest particles/fraction is removed from the separator off the top screen deck and the finest particles off the lowest screen cloth at the bottom. Dry and wet screening mesh opening sizes can be 0,25-20,0 mm.
One typical example of 1-deck dry screening application is powdered sugar, which is to separate the lumps out of the product prior to packaging for small consumer packages. In this application product passing through a screen cloth is the desired end product.
