`XS4 Sifting` for quickly and reliably fine-sifting large quantities of pow
Dinnissen presenting its new ‘XS4 Sifting’ technology for quickly and reliably fine-sifting large quantities of powders. By using a sophisticated combination of rotation speed, Air Flow movement and screen fineness, this new technology makes it possible to monitor and inspect large quantities of powders quickly (30 to 40 tonnes/hour) and reliably on even the finest screens (≤ 600 mµ). Due to its compact design, XS4 Sifting can be integrated into practically any new or existing (pneumatic) transport system for a wide range of applications, including big-bags, bulk carriers, silos, unloading systems and process technologies. XS4 Sifting can also be fitted with additional safety and hygiene equipment. The system was developed especially for companies in the animal feed and pet food sector.
XS4 Sifting has been specifically developed to enable companies to comply with stringent hygiene, food safety and quality standards in relation to the structure, fineness and homogeneity of raw ingredients as well as Atex safety standards. XS4 Sifting can be used as an extra step in the quality control of the various raw ingredients used in the animal feed and pet food sectors, including soy meal, corn, grain and starch. In conjunction with the use of metal detectors, magnets and sampling procedures, XS4 Sifting can play a valuable role in preventing contamination, reducing the amount of rework and guaranteeing the promised high level of final product quality.
XS4 Sifting is based on a centrifugal screen system in which the material to be sifted is introduced into the sifting chamber by a specially developed input system and is then kept in motion by rotating fins. The system acts like a centrifuge, encouraging fine raw material particles to pass through the screen, with the support of Air Flow technology when necessary. Larger particles are immediately transported to the rear and removed.
