Industrial sifters
GEA has worked closely with customers to develop robust, reliable vibrating sifter technology for a wide range of industrial applications. Our sifters can be used to process different types of materials, including wood pellets, seeds, minerals, cement, fish flour, fertilizer, recycling and household waste. Applications may include fractionation, control screening, or dust and water removal. In addition to standard industrial units, we can also offer sanitary units on request.
Our technology also offers gentle product handling, which reduces the risk of product damage and loss, and can improve product consistency (particle size), with minimum processing.
Tailor-made to suit your requirements and available with an open or closed design, GEA Scan-Vibro sifters are easy to operate, inspect and maintain, and provide an energy and cost-effective solution for a wide range of size separation requirements.
GEA Scan-Vibro industrial sifters are designed with easy clean features, so equipment cleaning is fast and thorough, which helps to prevent contamination.

GEA Insights
The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
