Flour sifting and sorting solution for grain mills
Optimize your milling operations with efficient sifting and sorting technology designed to maximize throughput while ensuring product consistency and quality in flour production.
Sifts and Sorts Flour and Grain
The Arenit Plansifter MPAV/W from Bühler Group is a robust solution tailored for flour mills and grain processing applications. Featuring a compact and efficient design, this plansifter excels in effectively sifting and sorting a variety of products including white bread flour, cornmeal, and durum semolina. Its high throughput capability is supported by a net sieve surface of up to 84 m² and the inclusion of up to 26 Nova sieve compartments, enabling seamless integration into both new and existing production lines.
The Arenit uses a stable cast metal frame for continuous, 24/7 operation, ensuring durability and reliability in demanding environments. Available with wooden or synthetic sieve frames, the machine supports enhanced food safety through stainless steel lining and insulated sifter compartments, which prevent condensation and product damage.
Designed for energy efficiency, the Arenit employs a lightweight motor with adjustable swing weight settings to minimize power consumption. The inclusion of a NovaTens sieve tensioner further ensures even tension across sieves, improving operational consistency. With options for customization and Bühler’s engineering support, the Arenit accommodates specific operational needs, making it a versatile asset in wheat, rye, corn, and durum processing for the production of diverse flour and grain products.
