We’ve used our time partnering with industry to gain a detailed understanding of the challenges for producers of different product types, for example, fish feed and pet food pellets. Our Scan-Vibro sifters have been developed in close co-operation with our customers and are designed to meet the precise handling needs of different, fish, pet and animal feed products, including coated and uncoated pellets. Offering proven expertise in the design and manufacture of sanitary equipment, GEA can also supply sifting machinery for use in the production of animal medications. Founded on a wealth of experience derived from extensive industry expertise, product development and testing, our Scan-Vibro sifting systems have been proven to efficiently remove dust, lumps and unwanted particles, while securing a uniform and consistent end product. Gentle product handling means there is minimal damage to pet foods and fish feed, which reduces product loss and waste. To help cut maintenance-related downtime GEA sifting systems feature large top lids with gas struts, enabling fast inspection and screen changeover. The Scan-Vibro units are also easy to clean, which helps prevent contamination of sensitive products. We can supply models that allow unmounting of the inner sifter parts, providing complete accessibility for cleaning. The screen fastenings can be removed quickly, without tools. This further 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. Built with lubrication-free motors, the GEA Scan-Vibro sifters can operate continuously for prolonged production cycles and less frequent maintenance stops. Low maintenance requirements helps to reduce overall operating costs.
