In food processing plants and flour production lines, fine and safe screening of flour is a key link to ensure product quality. The main reason for sieving flour is to remove lumps and ensure uniform particles. It plays an important role in improving the taste, appearance, and safety of food. According to different application scenarios and needs, it is crucial to choose the right screening equipment. Common flour screening equipment mainly includes two types: the industrial flour sifter screen and the rotary vibrating screen. Below we introduce their characteristics and application scenarios in detail.
The flour sieving machine is mainly used to remove lumps, foreign matter, and contaminants from flour. Usually, when the impurity content in flour is about 5%, the industrial flour sifter is an ideal choice, especially for large-scale powder screening.
The main advantage of the industrial sifting machine is its unique design: the feed port and the discharge port are located in the same vertical direction, and the direct discharge method is adopted. After the flour passes through the screen, it is discharged directly from the discharge port below, with fast screening speed and rapid discharge. Therefore, the flour sieving machine is particularly suitable for large-scale production and coarse material screening.
The flour rotary vibrating screen is not only used to remove impurities such as lumps and threads in the powder but also meets the primary requirements of food safety. More importantly, by increasing the number of screen layers, the flour sifting sieve machine can grade flour to different finenesses.
The advantage of the rotary vibrating screen is that it has both the functions of impurity removal and grading. Although its processing capacity is relatively low (100 3300 kg per hour), it has high screening accuracy and can usually screen powdered materials within 500 mesh. Therefore, the rotary vibrating sifter is suitable for product production scenarios that require higher fineness.
When choosing flour screening equipment, if the production line requires higher flour output, industrial flour sieves are a good choice. If the fineness of the flour is more important, a rotary vibrating sieve is a better solution. Choosing the right equipment according to specific production needs can significantly improve the product quality of flour and meet the requirements of different customers.
In short, when selecting the flour sifter machine, you should comprehensively consider the performance, quality, and price of the equipment, as well as your own production needs and economic conditions, to find the most suitable screening solution for you.
