Sifting & metal separation - Ingredient Batching Systems

All raw materials come with a small percentage of foreign matter. Our sifting and separation technology ensures that it does not make its way into your final product.

Combining inline sieves, metal detectors and magnets guarantees any contaminants are caught before entering process machinery.

Catching contaminants before entering machinery is important for the health of the machine, as foreign matter could damage sensitive parts in the process equipment and the ongoing problems that this otherwise will cause.

Sifting of product is also vital to ensure the correct partial size is delivered into process as clusters and lumps of product will degrade the efficiency of transport and some processes such as mixing.

How Sifting & Metal Separation Works

Strong inline magnets pull any ferrous material from the product as it travels over the magnet, stopping it from traveling any further into the process.

This method can also be used in sack tips, big bag dischargers and vessels. The magnets are regularly checked for any foreign matter caught which can then be traced back to its input origin.

Sifters inline or on the deck allow product to pass through at the required rate, ensuing the particle size is as determined by the screen size. This is important when dealing with products that are prone to lumping or forming clusters. Mixed products can also be separated based on size.
