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.

In this interview, she takes us on a world tour of food biotech in seven questions.
