The new low-profile Flo-Thru sanitary screener from Kason Corporation scalps oversize particles and foreign matter from dry bulk materials and solids-laden slurries at high rates in low headroom areas.
The screener employs two unbalanced-weight gyratory motors mounted on opposing exterior sidewalls of the screening chamber, instead of one motor positioned beneath it. This significantly reduces minimum height requirements.
Mounted on suspension springs, the Flo-Thru design allows vertical alignment of the top inlet and bottom outlet, allowing on-size material to rapidly descend through the screen in a straight-through path at high rates into downstream equipment or receiving vessels. Oversize material is ejected through a spout at the periphery of the screen.
The unit is available in diameters from 18 to 100 inches, with interchangeable screens that allow sifting of on-size materials as fine as 38 microns (400 mesh). All material contact surfaces are made of stainless steel with continuous welds polished to cGMP, 3-A, USDA, BISSC, FDA or industrial standards.
Quick-release clamps allow rapid removal of screens and tool-free disassembly of frames for thorough washdown of components (including the motors), as well as rapid interior access for inspection and screen changes.
Kason also manufactures other round vibratory screeners, centrifugal sifters, fluid bed dryers/coolers/moisturizers, static sieves, vertical mixers, ribbon/paddle/plow blenders, double-cone and vee-cone blenders, air classifier mills, universal mills and lump breakers.
