Mesh Sifters
Mesh sifters are a common type of sifter that are widely used in various industries. These sifters consist of a mesh screen that is stretched across a frame, and they are used to separate particles based on their size. Mesh sifters come in various sizes and configurations, allowing them to be used for a wide range of applications. They are commonly used in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, mining, and construction.
Rotary Sifters
Rotary sifters, also known as centrifugal sifters, are another type of sifter that is commonly used in industries that require high capacity sifting. These sifters consist of a cylindrical drum that is mounted on a rotating shaft. As the drum rotates, the particles are agitated and forced through a mesh screen, separating them based on their size. Rotary sifters are often used in industries such as food processing, chemical processing, and recycling.
Vibratory Sifters
Vibratory sifters are a type of sifter that uses vibration to separate particles. These sifters consist of a vibrating screen that is mounted on springs, which allows the screen to vibrate freely. As the particles are fed onto the screen, the vibration causes the smaller particles to pass through the openings in the screen while the larger particles are retained. Vibratory sifters are commonly used in industries such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
Air Classifiers
Air classifiers are a type of sifter that use air flow to separate particles. These sifters consist of a vertical chamber with a series of air jets, which create a controlled air flow. As the particles are fed into the chamber, the air flow carries the lighter particles upward, while the heavier particles are forced downward. This separation is based on the differences in the particles’ size and density. Air classifiers are commonly used in industries such as mining, plastics, and cement.
Magnetic Sifters
Magnetic sifters are a unique type of sifter that use magnets to separate particles. These sifters consist of a magnetic drum or plate that is mounted on a rotating shaft. As the particles are fed onto the drum or plate, the magnetic field attracts the magnetic particles and separates them from the non-magnetic particles. Magnetic sifters are commonly used in industries such as mining, recycling, and food processing.
