A low-profile Flo-Thru sifter from Kason features a gap-free screen frame with quick-disconnect clamps and a crevice-free interior finished to cGMP, 3-A, USDA and FDA standards, allowing rapid, thorough washdown. The low-profile configuration employs two unbalanced-weight gyratory motors mounted on opposing exterior sidewalls of the unit, instead of one motor positioned beneath the screening chamber, reducing minimum height requirements . On-size particles pass rapidly through the screen in a vertical discharge path at higher rates than with circular screeners having centrally mounted gyratory motors and horizontal discharge paths. Oversize material can be removed manually or with a vacuum. The unit can be disassembled with no tools for rapid sanitizing and is intended to scalp oversize particles as small as 38 µm (400 mesh) from dry bulk materials or solids-laden slurries. The screen frame’s interlocking flange fully envelops the support ring of the screen, allowing the wire mesh of the screen to fully extend to the interior walls of the frame, eliminating the gap between the screen ring and frame wall. The sifter is offered in diameters of 610, 762, 1016, 1219 and 1524 mm. It can be equipped with either single or twin imbalanced-weight gyratory motors, and furnished with a dust-tight cover.
