Centrifugal powder sifter for particle separation

Achieve consistent material quality with efficient powder sifting and de-lumping, ensuring the removal of foreign objects and maintaining product purity in your continuous processing lines.

Screens and De-lumps Powders Efficiently

The Kwik-Sift series from Hanningfield, including the KS05, KS10, and KS20 models, offers innovative centrifugal sifters tailored for efficient powder screening and de-lumping across diverse industries such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and food and beverage. These sifters utilize a rotating mesh drum to deliver fast and effective screening, ensuring material integrity by filtering out foreign objects like nuts, bolts, and cable ties.

With applications ranging from powdered antibiotics to protein powders and powdered metals, the Kwik-Sift enhances purity and consistency in end-products. Its impressive processing capacity ranges between 5 to 23,000 kgs/hr, depending on the model, making it suitable for both small-scale and large-scale operations.

Designed for easy integration into your production line, the Kwik-Sift can be mounted in-line or used in a standalone configuration. It supports continuous, high-speed, in-line operations and features options for customization, including various mesh sizes and ATEX compliance for explosive environments.

Built from 316L and 304 stainless steel with FDA-compliant seals, this equipment ensures durability and corrosion resistance while maintaining GMP standards. Ease of maintenance is a hallmark, with quick mesh changes and optional breaker bars for de-lumping. Hanningfield also provides comprehensive engineering support to tailor each unit to specific process requirements.
