Centrifugal sifter for particle size classification
Achieve precise particle size control with high output efficiency, ensuring consistent quality of powders and granules across your production line while enhancing separation reliability.

Screens and Classifies Powders and Granules
The Centrifugal Sifter from FREUND is designed to enhance the screening and classification processes in your production line. It effectively classifies powdered or granulated products by size, using a mechanical system where a screw transports the material into a sifting chamber. Slightly inclined blades on the shaft push the product against a nylon mesh, allowing fine particles to pass through while larger ones are separated and ejected.
Ideal for industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, chemicals, and biotech, this sifter processes a variety of applications, from pharmaceutical tablets and protein supplements to metal alloy and vitamin powders. With models like the S40, S65, and S85, you can achieve throughput capacities ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 kg/hr, tailored based on your specific product needs.
Constructed with 316L stainless steel for product contact surfaces and offering options like pneumatic transport connectivity and discharge into a conical mill, the sifter integrates seamlessly into existing operations. The equipment also offers an Ex-Proof version compliant with ATEX directives for intelligent safeguarding in potentially explosive environments. Additionally, it is designed for quick disassembly and reassembly without tools, streamlining cleaning and maintenance processes while minimizing downtime.
