How Rotary Sifters Work

Precision Screens for Rotary Sifters

In a rotary sifter, product is fed into a cylindrical screen. Rotating paddles and centrifugal force push the material against the mesh, so fine particles pass through while oversize particles and foreign material move to the end of the screen and out as overs. The screen does the separating, so its mesh size and tension decide your particle size and throughput.

American Fabric Filter manufactures precision cylindrical screens for reel type sifters used in powder coating, food processing and other industries. We have the expertise to size and tension screens for very fine powders, and we stock an extremely large selection of screening materials.
