GEA Scan-Vibro Sifter type SRW

The GEA Scan-Vibro Sifter type SRW helps to meet the growing demand for vegan and alternative foods. It is designed specifically for dewatering ingredients such as spent grain or yeast from breweries, tea leaves or coffee grains from beverage plants and even insect larvae, a source of valuable proteins, fats and carbohydrates for conventional as well as novel food applications. The sifter can be placed at the start of a line to remove contamination and provide a consistent feed, centrally to remove unwanted material or to recycle product or immediately before packing for a high-quality product.

It has a V-shaped seal between the sifter mesh and the sifter body has been integrated into the sifter to prevent product losses and contamination. The sifter’s inlet has been redesigned for better distribution of product across the whole surface of the mesh. This improves the separation process to enhance product recovery and further reduce the moisture content at the solid’s outlet.

The product is available with the company’s ViwateQ treatment on all surfaces, making it difficult for bacteria to adhere, so hygiene is improved and cleaning is simpler and faster. A cleaning-in-place system is included. A pneumatic screen tensioner improves screen service life and allows screens to be changed without tools.

The sifter can handle a wide range of products, is efficient with low power consumption, is capable of 24/7 operation with long service intervals and can comply with USDA 3-A, EHEDG and ATEX guidelines.
