The rotary cleaner sieves the raw material to remove any foreign bodies or particle sizes that do not meet the required parameters.
The product is transported by the screw to a drum where a rotating whisk centrifuges the product across the entire surface of the flexible mesh. The outcoming product is sieved, while the waste is discarded by the machine. The stainless-steel drum is easy to replace and is available in perforated sheet steel or mesh. The sieve mesh size depends on the type of product to be sieved.
