Hygienic, gentle sifters for food processing
GEA Scan-Vibro sifters for food applications benefit from low power consumption and high efficiency sifting. CIP compatible and designed for 24/7 operation, our equipment is available with a cleaning system that helps to reduce blinding and keep the screen mesh open during operation. A cost-effective solution is available to meet all particle size separation requirements.
Sifter vibration frequency, oscillation and stroke length can be adjusted to ensure effective removal of dust, water, lumps and other unwanted particles. Gentle product handling helps to preserve product quality and reduce product loss and waste.
The screen fastenings can be removed quickly, without tools. This speeds downtime for cleaning and also makes it relatively easy to swap between screens with different mesh sizes, when it’s time to change products or processes.
GEA Scan-Vibro sifters are also built with lubrication-free motors and can operate continuously for prolonged production cycles and less frequent routine maintenance stops. Low maintenance requirements helps to reduce overall operating costs.

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.
