Gyratory Sifters

How a Gyratory Sifter Works

A gyratory sifter moves its screen box in a flat, circular gyratory motion. Product spreads across the screen surface and travels across each layer of screen, so fine particles pass through the mesh while oversize particles move off as overs. Stacking screens gives several separations in one pass.

The CS-1 gyratory sifter, formerly the Allis Chalmers, Ferrell Ross and Blunt sifter, makes one to four separations from 1/4" to 400 mesh, handles up to 50,000 lb per hour, and fits 10 to 35 square feet of screening area into a 4 ft x 4 ft footprint.

We also supply the screening media, frames and cleaner balls that keep sifters running.

Warning Signs

Signs Your Sifter Needs Attention

  • Capacity dropping below rated throughput

  • Poor separation or product in the overs
