    1.What is a Vibro sifter?

    Vibro Sifter 

    Aipak Vibro sifter

    Vibro sifter is a machine used for separating and scalping materials from one another. Vibro sifter or Vibro sieve machine is available with different names such as safety screener, vibrating sifter, Vibro sieve, check screen. This equipment works on the principle of vibratory motion.

    The chief function of this machine is to protect the manufacturing line in the pharmaceutical industry from damage by removing agglomerates and foreign particles and improving product quality.

    The shape of the rotating screen of the Vibro sifter can be squared or circular, which is utilized for grading and separating materials from one another depending on the process requirement meaning that it can be used efficiently for separating solid to solid and solid to liquid.

    Including pharmaceutical industries, Vibro sifter is also applicable in the food industry, cement, and chemical industries.

    Essentially, the role of this machine during processing is to sift massive materials and maintain uniform particles size, hence, it ensures the best product quality, therefore, consider as a piece of fundamental equipment in the production line.

    2.What is the difference between sieving, sifting, and screening?

    Manufacturers and suppliers applied these terms pretty interchangeable but technically they are different!

    A sieve is a tool that helps in separating smaller, finer particles from larger particles. While sifting is an action of sieving used for treating individual batch products.

    Sift

    “Sift” is a word that is derived from the word “sieve”. In simpler words, sift is a verb and sieve is a noun. Whereas, a term screen is used for a continuous flow of batch products.

    Sieving and screening both processes remove lumps and impurities such as debris from the raw ingredients and increase the efficiency of the final product.

    Both are composed of a mesh of wire with a potential for vibration. Mesh is considered as a separator between unprocessed and processed products.

    Vibro Sifter

    Vibro Sifter

    The powder mixture of varied particle sizes is passed through the mesh, results from the product appear in good quality, uniform particles size, and free from contaminants.

    The waste on the other side will be discarded and the processed product is reprocessed for further refinement. It is the most widely used process.

    How do they differ?

    • The sieving process is applied to separate batches of the product. However, the screen is applicable to a continuous flow of products. It is a kind of physical barrier that provides protection to the raw material and final product from danger and ensures safety.
    • The screen system can be useful for chemical industries for removing lumps prior to final packaging and for the crisp manufacturers for separating the small crisp pieces and crumbs prior to final packaging.

    Screens are available in two types of configuration. 1) Linear 2) Circular.
    Choice of which is appropriate for a particular process is dependent on material type, the required efficiency of the final product, and the available facility/space for operation.

    3.What are the classifications of sifter?

    Did you know that sifter you use is the best fit for your job?
    In the market, you may have several sifters that offer you good quality sifting responsibilities.

    Let’s review the major classification of sifer!

    There are three basic categories of sifters used on small and large-scale manufacturing processes.

    1. Vibratory sifters/Vibro Sifters

    Vibratory motion of vibra sifter

    Vibratory motion of vibra sifter

    • This is considered a low-cost sifter equipped with two vibratory motors and eccentric masses on the upper and lower end of generating motors.
    • If you’re beginning the sifting with low capacity demands then we suggest this machine is the best solution for you.

    2.Centrifugal sifter

    • Initially, a centrifugal sifter was developed to treat wastewater for breaking up solid lumps and push them to flow using a screen.
    • Now, a centrifugal sifter is the second most preferred sifter in the food industry. This is not due to compactness but to their structure and user-friendly procedures.
    • Centrifugal sifter is designed to break clumps present in flour, sugar, and other food-related items.
    • Centrifugal sifter is not suitable for treating fragile material as it may not maintain the desirable quality of the product.

    4.What is the difference between centrifugal and vibrating sifter?

    1.Centrifugal Sifter
    This type of machine is also termed as “rotary sieves”.

    Principle:

    These are basically the screening machines that work on the principle of centrifugation. Centrifugal forces are used for controlling the process and separating granules and particles of varying sizes. Additionally, this sifter may also de-agglomerate by spinning paddles.

    Centrifugal Sifter

    Applications:

    • In the food industry for breaking raisins, dried fruits or lumps are produced by adhesion of different ingredients.

    Centrifugal Sifter

    2.Vibratory Sifter/Screener

    • Vibratory screens/sieves are available in a variety of sizes and shapes. It is also termed as “flat deck screener”.
      These screeners are generally used for high feeding.
    • Vibratory screeners are compact along with inclined outlet and inlet flanges making it convenient to retrofit into existing operations with adjustable height.
    • Equipment is adjustable and simple with few parts, therefore, facilitates maintenance and cleaning.
    • Equipment is designed in a way that there is minimal chance of damage from foreign contaminants.
    • Vibrating screeners are best for separating dense ultra-fine particles, or solid/liquid mixtures. However, a centrifugal screener is good for light material with poor flow properties and needs stirring/ agitation for maintaining flow.
    • Vibrating screeners can screen powders at fine meshes compared to centrifugal sifters. It is due to the flat and large surface area of vibrating screeners that cause the powder to spread and pass through the mesh aperture efficiently with the help of a shaker. Hence, the undersize particles pass through, and oversize particles remain above the mesh.

    Applications

    • The prime application of vibrating sieve is achieving controlled screening, fractionating of particles, dedusting of dry and granular substances.
    • A vibrating sieve is suitable for managing multi-deck separation from finest to heavyweight products.

    bring powder to a sifter

    If it happens it will drastically reduce the sifting performance and creates problems that make goods unacceptable for the next procedure ultimately wastage of valuable goods.

    14.How can you resolve the production of electrostatic charge in Vibro-sifter? 

    production of electrostatic charge in Vibro-sifter

    A static charge is established when two separable surfaces are in contact. In this way, one surface is in high resistance to an electric charge.

    Vibration during procedure cause friction between a screen and product material that results in static current in the body of the sifter. This is a very common phenomenon of vibratory mechanisms.

    This is an undesirable phenomenon for those products that are flammable in nature.  Secondly,  electrostatic charges also have a great impact on the user, as contact with any conductive part of the Vibro sifter may lead to cause an electric shock.

    production of electrostatic charge in Vibro-sifter 3

    To resolve electrostatic charge you need to follow:

    • A rubber gasket that isolates the pretension of electrostatic charges in Vibro-sifter assembly.
    • The installment of the gasket will correct the situation by retarding the throughput of electrostatic charges.
    • The earthing connections of the machine must be check and tested periodically after cleaning or maintenance of the machine. 

    15.How to do step-by-step installation of Vibro sifter?

    For installation of Vibro Sifter, you must require few essential steps:

    installation of Vibro sifter

    • Unpack the Vibro sifter machine carefully by unhooking wooden pellets.
    • Install the main body of the vibro sifter machine on a smooth level surface, set it to vibrate at high speed, if you see the Vibro sifter moving around then keep a waste cloth, rubber sheet, or anything that may induce friction beneath it (there is also an optional rubber plate available for isolating vibrations).

    installation of Vibro sifter

    • There is a dial (named Amplitude Control), it should be set to zero (0). Also, there is a sieve holder, place a sieving pan on it. Then, make a stack of all your required mesh sizes in a way that the finest one is at the first position. Take one recommended measure (weigh all your empty sieves before proceeding).
    • To proceed, weigh accurately test sample, however, the amount of it varies depending on the sieve mesh size, and physiochemical properties. Big amount of test samples is not good because it results in poor sieving.
    • According to the arrangement of sieves, the coarsest sieve must be at the top to distribute evenly your test sample.
    • Subsequently, cover it with a clamping lid followed by clamping springs by fixing them onto the hooks each of which is installed on the clamping lid and holder (make sure that your clamping springs are appropriate to your desired sieves).
    • At this point, turned on the power supply, you will observe the LCD screen timer switched on and the lamp light up.

    16.How to operate Vibro sifter?

    1.Pre-Start-Up Points
    Before starting the Vibro sifter test run is of prime importance to assess if it works properly or not.

    • Users must be well equipped with PPEs and well trained to handle Vibro sifter.
    • Make sure all components of the Vibro sifter are affixed properly.
    • A screen must be properly installed.
    • No foreign particle should be left on the main screen.
    • All bolts must be secured.

    operate Vibro sifter

    2.Start-Up Points

    The process begins with pouring the desired material mixture that needs to be separated on the feeding hopper. Before starting, make sure parts including screen, base frame, and cover are properly fixed.

    • Switch on the power supply which allows the motor to vibrate due to uneven weight assembly.
    • The feeding material must be introduced at the center position of the screen. It leads to vigorous vibrations of the sieve resulting in the unprocessed material on the hopper pass through the appropriate sieve aperture to segregate particles/granules of different.
    • Vibro sifter also consists of a “discharge part/exit component”. It helps in the collection of particles/granules of uniform size after successful sieving.

    Start-Up Points

    This operation is applied to a wide variety of materials and it is highly reproducible if the user exactly follows the protocol. The above-mentioned content is standard protocol for Vibro sifter, however, it can be modified further based on the physicochemical properties of processing material.

    3.End-Up Points

    Clean the sieves after measurement

    • Switch off the power supply followed by removing the clamping lid and springs.
    • Carefully observe the test sample after processing to evaluate the efficiency of the process.
    • If the test sample has been segregated efficiently, yet allow the sieves to vibrate for an additional 5-10 minutes. Leftover particle residues on each sieve will help in measuring particle size distribution data of the test sample.
    • Clean the sieves after measurement particularly if you intend to measure again the same sample, make it sure first to clear all clogged granules/particles from the sieve. You may use a cleaning brush, air gun, waste cloth, or a vacuum for this purpose.
    • Alternatively, if you observe firmly clogged particles in sieves or you may intend to use it for a new sample, then it is recommended to wash it with neutral detergent or use an ultrasonic machine.

    17.What should you do to extend the shelf life of the Vibro sifter?

    It is true all screens will begin to fail if left over to run indefinitely. Therefore, you can maximize the shelf life of the Vibro sifter via proper selection as well as maintenance.

    Ball and circular roller bearing are extremely important components of vibratory types of equipment that prevent the breakdown/wear tear of the Vibro sifter. Breakdown of these components may also increase downtime of the machine and production time. Therefore, you must inspect the lubrication level of these components in order to prevent the risk of breakdown and damage.

    extend the shelf life of the Vibro sifter

    • A regular inspection of the screen is required depending upon the type of application. This could be done at every hour, day, or week.
    • The lubrication of the gyratory motor must be checked. As it continuously supplies lubrication to the bearing unit of movable parts at a suitable time in a suitable amount.
    • Always look for wear in tear, signs of screen blinding, development of gaps between mesh and frame.
    • In case, if you find a problem a regular inspection can prevent screen failure during operation.
    • If you observe screen generally lasts for nine weeks then you may replace them after seven to eight week to avoid downtime and interruptions. 

    18.What are the common problems with Vibro sifter and how do troubleshoot them?

    Vibro sifter is efficient equipment that is made up of remarkable materials and skilled manufacturers. However, even on excellent equipment there still can be some technical difficulties. For instance, screening and mechanical issues. As discussed below, you will find the subsequent failures and their effective troubleshooting.

    Vibro sifter

    Let's have a look!

    1. Premature Screening Failure

    This is an extremely common problem that every operator faces when operating a Vibro sifter.
    The screening unit of the Vibro sifter is most important and prone to wear out components of a machine. This part requires high vigilance and replacement.

    Root Cause

    The life of a screener depends upon many factors such as the method of cleaning and extreme environmental condition, etc. It is not easy to predict how long the screener would efficiently work.
    If screening is delaminating or separating from each other then the issue might be high temperature, which causes screeners to weaken (Recommended temperature limit is from 49-93ºC).

    Action

    For all those processes that require high-temperature screening that we will recommend you to use welded screeners. A welded screen has the ability to withstand up to 204ºC.
    Furthermore, speak to your vendor to find out the options for screening material under high temperatures.

    2. Screen blinding

    This is another problem that every operator encounter when working on Vibro sifter is, screen blinding or clogging which is caused by processed materials. The opening of the screens is blocked.

    Root Cause

    • The screening blinding may be caused by too much high feeding rate of the material.
    • Poor selection of screening
    • Screen with too much heavy diameter
    • Type of material used- such as cohesive, sticky materials. These materials adhere to the mesh surface and bulge around the wires which ultimately lessen the opening of the mesh size and close them entirely.

    problems of Vibro sifter

    problems of Vibro sifter

    Action
    To deal with this problem, there are many anti-blinding devices introduced to combat screen blinding.

    • Antiblinding devices are perforated plate which is mounted below the screen surface. For instance, sliders and balls that are installed on the coarse screen.
    • The vibration of sliders and balls easily dislodge the stuck material in the openings, hence require little maintenance.

    3.Irregular material movement

    Another important issue experienced by Vibro sifter users is that sieving material is not regularly moved on the screen rather it follows irregular directions.
    For instance, material may stick at the center of the screen and does not discharge in the normal pattern.

    Root Cause

    This problem could be due to any reason, that’s why experts professionals come to fix the problem.
    Before calling an expert, we suggest you monitor the following corrective parameters.

    Action

    Normally, a double shaft motor that drives a vibratory screener is installed in the vertical position. Therefore, fastened the upper and lower motor shaft to create a centrifugal force during the spinning of the motor shaft.

    Moreover, the lead angle is very important that determine the pattern of material on the screening surface. The lead angle must be adjusted at an angle between 0 to 120 Change over the lead angle will accelerate a material flow pattern.

    Changing the flow effect of material by altering lead angle in the screen

    • Always feed the material on the center of the screen rather off-center that will affect the movement of the material

    4.Material Flows So Quick

    This is a common problem most often occurred during the process. The screening material passes through the unit immediately after feeding.

    • This problem could be occurred due to improper adjustment of the motor vibrator in relation to screening material.
    • The screen must be poorly affixed.

    Action

    • To fix the problem you must adjust the motor vibrator properly.
    • Reduce the inflow of material
    • Determine the screen tension or replace the screen.

    5.Frequently Tearing of Mesh Screens

    Sometimes you may notice the frequent tearing of mesh screens that ultimately interrupts the whole process time.

    Frequently Tearing of Mesh Screens

    Root Cause

    • This problem might be due to prolonged retention of feeding material on the screens
    • Due to impact forces created by feeding material.

    Action

    • By adjusting vibratory motion may increase the outflow speed of the material.
    • Installing a flow splitter between the inflow pipe and screen may reduce this problem. 

    6.Poor Operating Efficiency

    Sometimes Vibro-sifter yields poor performance that could be due to the following reasons.

    Root Cause

    • Clogging of the screens
    • Excessive material over the screen
    • Feeding material is not over the center of the screen

    Action

    • Regular cleaning of the screen is required
    • Adjust the vibrator motor to improve the outflowing speed of material
    • Reposition the feeding material in the correct way. 

    19.What safety measures you must consider when handling a Vibro sifter?

    1.Operational frequencies are explicitly mentioned on the seal. The sieve shaker depends on these frequencies for producing vibrations of a distinct magnitude of acceleration. If you operate it on the incorrect frequency it may cause a breakdown of the machine.

    • If any error occurs during the procedure immediately stop the machine and deal with the error.
    • The ideal amount of test sample is estimated in a way that it should be distributed evenly over the surface of the topmost sieve and ideally, its depth is 5-6 times of the mesh aperture size, such as for 1mm mesh size it should be around 5-6mm.
    • There are inner rings/ corner rings provided for sieves and outer rings/ O-rings are available for wet and fine powder sieving. Please handle the equipment carefully and do not splash water on the main body, it may cause damage to the machine.

    • The use of appropriate sieve size is critically important. Sieve shaker is particularly equipped for (75mm φ) test sieves, therefore using it with inappropriate size may cause damage to the machine.
    • Continuous operation of sieve shaker for a long time (1 hour or more) is prohibited.
    • Never try to put a hand or tool into a machine while it works.
    • Instruction: Generally, the sieve shaker produces high-frequency metallic sounds when switched on without any sieves or processing material on it, please do not consider it as machine collapse or malfunction.
