Food product sifter
Ensure precise separation with vibratory sifters designed for continuous operation, delivering gentle handling and efficient removal of unwanted particles from solid and granular food products, all while minimizing power consumption and maintenance.

Efficiently Screens and Separates Diverse Materials
The GEA Scan-Vibro Sifters are engineered to offer robust and reliable screening solutions across the food, beverage, dairy, and pharmaceutical sectors. With their hygienically designed vibrating sifting mechanism, these sifters ensure gentle product handling, crucial for maintaining the quality of sensitive goods like freeze-dried coffee or mozzarella cheese cubes. Capable of operating 24/7, they integrate seamlessly into production lines, handling vast applications from separating cereals to grading fish meal.
These sifters provide flexibility with one or more screen decks, supporting processing capacities that accommodate varied product throughput needs. The equipment design includes a simple tool-free screen replacement system, facilitating quick transition between batch operations and reducing downtime. Opt for cleaning-in-place (CIP) options to simplify maintenance in strict hygiene environments.
The energy-efficient, lubrication-free motors reduce operating costs and are available in stainless steel, enhancing durability and ensuring low service intervals. Compliance with stringent standards like USDA 3-A and EHEDG further ensures suitability for food-grade operations while offering options to tailor configurations for specific industrial needs.
