Pneumatic Conveying In-Line
Sifters
 Leavenworth,
KS -- Great Western Manufacturing's pneumatic In-Line
sifters are designed to be directly inserted into a vacuum
or pressure pneumatic conveying line as a quality assurance
tool for removing a small amount of oversized impurities
from the product.
Placed
in a pneumatic unloading or transfer system, the Great
Western In-Line Tru-Balance sifter eliminates equipment such
as cyclone receivers, airlocks, receiving hoppers and
blowers which would be required if a standard atmospheric
pressure sifter were utilized.
The
In-Line Tru-Balance sifter design allows the final sifting
to take place as close to the final destination as possible
to protect the product. The system design also provides
rapid access for sifter inspection and accelerated sifter
closing.
Great
Western Manufacturing's In-Line sifters are used for
scalping, grading and fines removal from dry, free-flowing
powders and granular materials. The In-Line sifters are used
to serve the cereal grain processors, mix plants, bakeries
and snack food producers, spice processors and the pet food,
chemicals, plastics and mineral industries.
Great
Western Manufacturing is a leading designer and manufacturer
of product protection and production sifters since 1858.

Mr. Mohring needs help filling
silos:
What are the
advantages/disadvantages of using a turbulence box on the
top of a silo vs. a plain pipe with two 90 degree long
radius elbows?
This would be for filling of
fine powders or fine granular material pneumatically from a
bulk unloading truck.
