The square sieve with elastic suspension units sieve the raw material to remove any foreign bodies or grain sizes that do not meet the required parameters
Adjustable eccentric masses cause a series of sieves to vibrate. These sieves are connected to a strong painted carbon steel frame by elastic suspension units. Normally the sieve has an inlet at the top and at least two outlets at the bottom (one for the compliant product and one for the waste)
• Wooden, laminated plastic-coated sieve frame
• Stainless steel or nylon mesh sieve
• Highest hygiene standards
• Frames are easy to dismantle and replace
• The number and size of the frames depend on the required capacity and type of product to sieve
• Safety microswitch activated in one of the elastic suspension units breaks

The new GEA Application and Technology Center (ATC) in Sarstedt, south of Hannover, is neither a showroom nor a substitute for a lab. It is a place for testing, data collection and early decisions. This is where it becomes clear whether a biological concept can become a robust industrial process. That step is bigger than it may seem.

Thermoforming has long played a central role in food packaging. Now it is facing a major shift. As regulations tighten, materials evolve and costs rise, form fill seal lines must do more than run reliably – they now shape how food stays fresh, affordable and recyclable. Take a look at the key thermoforming trends informing the food packaging and delivery landscape.
