GS Mk III Centrifugal Sifters
Building on our proven technology Gericke has intro¬duced a complete NEW range of centrifugal sifters with updated design and operational features necessary to satisfy the demands of today’s processing industries es¬pecially with regard to sieving efficiency, higher yields, improved hygiene, ease of maintenance and com¬pliance with the latest industry standards including the Machinery and ATEX Directives.
The new range of Mk III centrifugal sifter provides three base modules incorporating twelve standard configura¬tions which can be optimised to suit different processes depending on the requirements of the application in terms of throughput rate, sieving mesh size, materials of construction, surface finishes and hygiene require¬ments.
The Baseline model provides a cost effective solution for general applications whilst the Multi-purpose unit includes additional features such as hinged doors to improve access for cleaning and maintenance.
The Hypergienic model is designed to meet the most stringent of requirements for cleaning and hygiene and features a cantilevered shaft assembly with bearings only at the drive end, three hinged interlocked doors, quick release fully welded paddle assembly and integral discharge hoppers.

Applications
Gericke sifters are utilized to guarantee product quality within the processing of powdery products, granules, or fibre.
Our ATEX certified sifters provide three main operations of the sifting processes:
1. Particle Separation; the separation of two different product fractions with varying particle size, typically within the range of 40μ to 5 mm.
2. Safety sifting; removal of foreign parts and tramp material prior to product entering the production process or to secure product quality before filling processes.
3. Conditioning; to separate foreign bodies and condition the bulk density of the product prior to entering production or immediately before packing.
