Easy Clean Sifter

Cuts Production Time In Half


The Problem

Often, Powder Paint equipment clean-down time is extensive and frequent due to the required color changes. Historically, existing old-style Centrifugal Sifters and flat deck screeners are time consuming to dismantle, clean and reassemble. This often resulted in extremely long and labor intensive clean downs with costly time consuming production downtime.

The Solution

The Kek Centrifugal Sifter with Cantilever Design. A large Powder Paint Manufacturer in Texas has reduced its labor requirements by half through the purchase of Kek Centrifugal Cantilever Sifters.

How? The previous sifters required two operations working on different shifts, one to process the powder and one to clean the machines. Now both operations are achieved in a single shift because of the Easy-Clean capability of the Kek Centrifugal Sifter with Cantilever Shaft. By employing a Kek Centrifugal Sifter after an Air Classifier Mill to ensure that the milled powder is below a micron size, for example 75, 105, 123, 150, and 180 micron screening, the Sifter not only provides the usual product quality check but also serves as an indicator of declining mill performance. As the mill internals wear the resulting grind will become coarser, generating more oversize.

The advantages of the Kek Centrifugal Sifter are clear-cut:

•Cantilever Shaft - Because there are no oversize end bearings or seals, the maintenance time and replacement parts are eliminated.

•Hinged Oversized End Door - This feature provides easy access to the shaft, which minimizes the time required to change the screen. Screens can be changed in 30 seconds or less!

•Belt Drive - Especially important for heat sensitive powders, there is no heat transfer from the motor into the machine resulting in very little heat build-up.

•Easily Removed Internal Parts -This feature provides rapid, Easy-Cleaning and minimum time to dismantle. In other words, less downtime!

Conclusion

The Kek Centrifugal Sifter with Cantilever Shaft is perfect for the Powder Paint Industry. The Easy-Clean and tool free design allows for maximum output and uptime.
