Easy clean new two-bearing centrifugal
screener
A new Centri-Sifter screener is available, complying to industrial, food, dairy, and pharmaceutical standards, with Nylon monofilament, woven wire, or wedgewire screen cylinders
The new medium capacity Centri-Sifter centrifugal screener, model "MO" from Kason Corporation Europe, features a cantilevered shaft with two, externally-mounted bearings between the screening chamber and motor drive, allowing all internals to slide freely from the shaft end for cleaning, screen changes, or inspection Wide spacing between the bearings, a large diameter shaft, and a flexible shaft coupling combine to prevent vibration, even at high speeds under heavy, imbalanced loads, according to the company

The new screener is intended for industrial, food, dairy, and pharmaceutical applications requiring thorough wash-down, as well as other applications involving frequent screen changes / inspections, or runs of multiple materials where cross-contamination is of concern.
It is available with compliance to industrial, food, dairy, and pharmaceutical standards, with Nylon monofilament, woven wire, or wedgewire screen cylinders.
Configurations are offered for continuous operation in-line with dilute-phase pneumatic conveying systems, as well as gravity-fed applications.
Opening a hinged door at the discharge end of the screening chamber allows a retainer plate, screen cylinder, and helical paddle/feed screw assembly to be removed in one minute, according to the company.
Dry or moist bulk solid material is gravity-fed into the feed inlet and redirected into the cylindrical sifting chamber by means of a feed screw.
Rotating helical paddles within the chamber continuously propel the material against the screen, while the resultant, centrifugal force on the particles accelerates them through the apertures.
In addition to sifting and scalping of dry bulk materials, the screener can break up soft agglomerates and/or dewater moist solids or slurries.
Oversized particles and trash are ejected through the end of the screen cylinder into a discharge spout.
High-capacity, cantilevered screeners configured with a third bearing on the hinged door are also manufactured by the company, as are circular vibratory screeners and circular fluid bed dryers, coolers, and moisturisers.
