Screening technology
Planar sifter
The planar sifter—also known in milling as a plansifter—classifies grain products and granules on long, multi-layer decks. Screening path, loading and motion are sized for the product and required fractions.

Operating principle
The screen box combines horizontal reciprocating travel with circular oscillation. Material glides over long decks and is classified in several layers. Motion parameters, building loads, mesh access and screen area are sized for the product, throughput and separation target.
Where this machine is used
Planar sifting machine for mills and granule lines. Typical feed: flour, semolina, grain, pulses, chemicals, plastic granules and minerals.

Frequently asked sizing questions
When is a planar sifter used?
It is assessed for multi-stage classification of dry, free-flowing products, particularly in mills and granule lines. Number of fractions, screening path and product behaviour determine the configuration.
What data is needed for a planar-sifter quote?
Provide product, size distribution, target sizes, throughput, bulk density, moisture, number of fractions, operating time, installation space and cleaning requirements.
How is achievable separation sharpness confirmed?
It depends on particle shape, size distribution, moisture, screen medium, loading and residence time. Binding results are derived from reliable product data or material trials.
