A new Centri-Sifter centrifugal screener, model MO, from Kason Corporation Europe features a cantilevered shaft with two externally-mounted bearings between the screening chamber and motor drive, allowing all internals to slide freely from the shaft end for cleaning, screen changes or inspection.
Wide spacing between the bearings, a large diameter shaft and a flexible shaft coupling combine to prevent vibration, even at high speeds under heavy or imbalanced loads, according to the company.
The new medium capacity screener is intended for applications requiring thorough wash-down, as well as other applications involving frequent screen changes/ inspections or runs of multiple materials where cross-contamination is of concern.
