Centrifugal screener has cantilevered shaft

A new Centri-Sifter centrifugal screener, model MO-SS from Kason Corporation, features a hinged end cover and three-bearing shaft that cantilevers for quick removal of internal components

External roller bearings are located at the motor end of the shaft and on a hinged cover at the discharge end for maximum support and vibration-free operation.

When the end cover is hinged open, the shaft becomes a cantilever supported by a third externally-mounted roller bearing located between the motor-end bearing and material feed point, allowing internal components to slide freely from the opposite shaft end for thorough wash-down.

The screener is constructed of stainless steel finished to industrial, food, dairy and pharmaceutical standards, as well as general chemical applications involving frequent screen changes/inspections or runs of multiple materials with no cross contamination.

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.

On-size particles are funneled through a discharge housing equipped with an inspection door, while oversized particles and trash are propelled through the screen cylinder and ejected through a discharge spout.

In addition to sifting and scalping of dry bulk materials, the screener can break up soft agglomerates and/or dewater moist solids or slurries.

The company also manufacture centrifugal screeners with two-bearing cantilevered shafts and non-cantilevered shafts, as well as circular vibratory screeners, bag dump screeners, static sieves, and circular fluid bed dryers, coolers and moisturisers.
