Sifter for pet food, fish feed, and animal feed

Achieve precise particle separation and enhance feed quality with this vibratory sifter, designed for continuous operation and low maintenance. Efficiently removes dust and unwanted particles while ensuring gentle handling of sensitive feed materials.

Screens and Separates Particles Efficiently

The GEA Scan-Vibro Sifters are precision-engineered vibrating sifters designed for continuous duty in diverse industrial applications. What makes these sifters stand out is their ability to gently handle a wide array of products, from pet food to pharmaceuticals, ensuring minimal product damage while effectively separating unwanted particles. Equipped with a multi-stage oscillation system, they offer robust sifting and screening to deliver uniform particle sizes essential for end-products such as dog kibble, fish meal pellets, and milk powder. Capable of operating in a range from 0.5 to 8.0 m² screening areas, they are suitable for high-capacity operations, ensuring efficient throughput. Integration into production lines is seamless with PLC controls, allowing for automation and remote adjustments. Featuring low energy consumption and lubrication-free motors, they are ideal for extended production cycles with reduced operating costs. Constructed with CIP compatibility, the sifters ensure rapid and contamination-free cleaning with tool-free screen replacements, supporting effective maintenance. Compliant with USDA 3-A, EHEDG, and ATEX standards, and available in various finish grades, they can be tailored to meet specific operational and regulatory requirements.
