Twin Centrifugal Screener Does the Work of Two

Sept. 10, 2009
The Centri-Sifter twin ultra-high capacity centrifugal screener reportedly matches the capacity of two individual high-capacity screeners within a smaller footprint, while cantilevered three-bearing shafts allow rapid sanitizing. Dry or moist bulk solid material is gravity-fed through a feed splitter to evenly divide the flow of incoming feed material into the two horizontally-oriented cylindrical screening chambers that operate in parallel. A shaft in each screening chamber rotates a helical paddle assembly that accelerates the radial movement of particles against the screen. On-size particles pass through apertures in the screens and fall through a cone-shaped discharge chute, while oversize particles are propelled through the open end of the screen cylinders and ejected through a discharge spout.
