Industrial plansifter for grain sifting and grading

Optimize your production line with precision grain separation, maintaining high throughput and minimizing cross-contamination, ensuring quality and hygienic processing for diverse food and feed products.

Sifts and Grades Grain Products Efficiently

The Sirius Plansifter MPAK from Bühler is engineered for efficient sifting and grading of various grain and flour products. It employs modular flexible sifter compartments—ranging from 2 to 10 modules—allowing you to adjust capacity and throughput to meet your specific production needs. Ideal for food processing companies, grain milling operations, and confectionery manufacturers, it supports applications from wheat and corn sifting to cocoa and chocolate grading, ultimately producing high-quality bread, pasta, and confectionery products.

The plansifter enhances production efficiency with its low-maintenance design, featuring a durable Poly-V drive belt and easy-to-clean NovaPur sieve stacks, which reduce cleaning effort by up to 60%. Its high food safety standards, ensured by stainless steel and polyurethane construction without screws, prevent contamination in sensitive production environments. The Sirius Plansifter is designed for continuous, high-speed operations, integrating seamlessly into existing production lines with minimal disruption.

Moreover, the plansifter is well-suited for industries ranging from food and feed to advanced materials, supporting a wide range of granular and powdery products. Bühler offers comprehensive support, including retrofitting options and training to maximize operational efficacy and product quality compliance.
