Vibratory Sifter

Precision Vibratory Screening and Particle Size Separation Solutions for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

The Vibratory Sifter, also known as a Vibro Sifter, is designed for screening, grading, and separation of pharmaceutical powders and granules according to particle size. It operates through a vibratory screening mechanism generated by a motor fitted with eccentric weights. The resulting motion distributes the material across the sieve surface, allowing smaller particles to pass through the selected mesh while oversized particles are retained or discharged separately.

Intence Engineering offers Vibratory Sifters for pharmaceutical powder handling and granule processing applications. The equipment incorporates adjustable vibration, suitable screening meshes, and configurations designed for convenient dismantling and cleaning. Different sieve sizes and screening arrangements can be selected according to material characteristics and production requirements.

Applications of Vibratory Sifter

  1. Pharmaceutical Powder Sifting: Screening pharmaceutical powders, excipients, and suitable raw materials to separate oversized particles and support consistent material preparation before manufacturing.
  2. Granule Size Classification: Separating granules according to the selected sieve mesh to support the required particle size characteristics for downstream processing.
  3. De-Agglomeration and Lump Separation: Separating oversized agglomerates and lumps from suitable powders and granules during material preparation and handling.
  4. Solid Dosage Manufacturing: Screening powders and granules before blending, tablet compression, capsule filling, and other pharmaceutical processing operations.

Key Features

  • Eccentric-Weight Vibratory Mechanism: Uses an adjustable eccentric-weight arrangement to generate vibration for particle separation.

01. What Is a Vibratory Sifter Used for in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing?

A Vibratory Sifter is used for screening, grading, and separating pharmaceutical powders and granules according to particle size. It helps remove oversized particles and agglomerates, ensuring suitable material preparation before blending, tablet compression, capsule filling, and other solid dosage manufacturing operations.

A Vibratory Sifter operates using a motor fitted with eccentric weights that generate controlled vibratory motion. Material is fed onto a screening mesh, where vibration moves particles across the sieve surface. Particles smaller than the mesh openings pass through, while oversized particles remain above the screen and can be discharged separately. The vibration pattern can be adjusted to suit the material and screening requirements.

Intence Engineering’s documented Vibratory Sifter range includes screen diameters from 12 inches to 48 inches, with mesh numbers 10, 12, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100, and 120. Features include adjustable eccentric-weight vibration, silicone-bonded meshes, convenient dismantling, and mobile construction. Optional configurations include vacuum-rated designs, multi-deck screening, and de-blinding balls.
