A Vibro Sifter, also known as a vibratory sifter, vibrating sieve, or vibrating screen, is a versatile industrial equipment used for separating, grading, and filtering powders, granules, and liquids based on particle size. It’s commonly used in the pharmaceutical, food, chemical, cosmetic, and nutraceutical industries.
🔧 How It Works:
The vibro sifter uses vibratory motion generated by a motor with eccentric weights. This vibration causes the material fed onto the screen to move across the surface, allowing particles of a specified size to pass through while larger ones remain on top.
🧩 Main Components:
- Screen Deck(s):
- Circular frames fitted with mesh (wire screen or nylon) that determines the particle size separation.
- Multi-deck designs can separate material into multiple size fractions in a single pass.
- Vibratory Motor:
- Mounted centrally or on the side, it generates high-frequency vibrations.
- Base & Frame:
- Provides support and stability to the unit.
- Outlet Chutes:
- Separate chutes for fines (passing through mesh) and oversize material.
- Cover (Optional):
- A lid with inlet port helps reduce dust and contamination—especially important for pharmaceuticals.
⚙️ Working Principle:
- Material is fed from the top into the central inlet.
- Vibrations cause the material to move in a spiral or horizontal motion across the mesh.
- Smaller particles pass through the mesh and are collected from the bottom.
- Oversized particles are discharged from the top outlet.
✅ Advantages of Vibro Sifter:
- High throughput with fine accuracy
- Compact & portable design
- Low maintenance
- Dust-free operation (with sealed lid)
- Can be used for both dry and wet sieving
- Quick screen changeover
