Cantilever Shaft Design for Kemutec KEK® Centrifugal Sifters Improves Powder Processing Hygiene and Ease of Operation

Innovative design, which has been implemented on virtually every model of KEK® Centrifugal Sifters, features an easy-to-remove hygienic screen basket and paddle screw assembly, a hinged oversize end door, and bolted flanges for dust-tight operation. The sifters also operate quietly without vibration.

The cantilevered design improves efficiency with its clean, simple features that are operator friendly – no tools are required for stripping down and cleaning – along with the time saved during an inspection, cleaning, and maintenance. The units also contain easily removable sifter screens for inspection and cleaning, and easy access via the oversize end door, which opens in seconds. There is zero leakage or contamination from the oversize end door.

The sifters are ideal for feedstock policing, scalping, dedusting, conditioning, and deagglomerating; but can also be used in unique applications, such as de-packing, fruit dumping, inline sieving, gas purging, and explosion containment.

Pending suitability, these sifters are available with white nylon sifting screens, stainless steel wedge wire, or woven wire screens. They are built to handle the most arduous, heavy-duty applications where access for maintenance is severely limited, such as toxic and radioactive processes. Also, optional screen protectors eject incoming extraneous objects, which could damage the sieving mesh. For further improvement of the sifter's hygienic capabilities, the units can also include clean-in-place spray facilities, inlet section access door, and additional inspection doors on the sifter body.

The design is also available on KEK® models K300C, K650C, K800C, and K1150C (the largest cantilevered sifter with capacities of up to 80 tons per hour).
