Flour is a key ingredient in a wide range of global food products, making it essential for manufacturers to maintain consistent quality and strict hygiene standards. To meet these demands and comply with food safety regulations, flour must be screened to eliminate oversized particles and foreign contamination before entering the production process.
In this demonstration, mixed flour was screened using the Finex® 22, a high-performance industrial sieve. Due to high humidity during storage, the flour had formed large lumps and agglomerates, posing a risk of mesh blinding and inconsistent flow during sieving.
To overcome this, a rota plough was paired with the Finex® 22 breaking down the compacted flour before it reached the mesh. This step ensured a smooth screening process, minimized blockages, and maximized product recovery.
During operation, the flour is fed onto the mesh, where the Finex® 22 efficiently removes coarse particles and contaminants, leaving behind a uniform, refined powder suitable for food production.
Key benefits of the Finex® 22 for flour sieving:
- Removes lumps, oversize material, and contaminants
- Improves product quality and protects downstream equipment
- Enhances productivity while reducing downtime and waste
- Available in food-grade stainless steel for full hygiene compliance
- Versatile for both wet and dry applications across industries
- Compact, tool-free design for easy integration and cleaning
Unlike conventional spring-mounted separators, the Finex® 22 offers superior performance, minimal maintenance, and flexibility to adapt to different sieving needs, making it the ideal solution for high-quality flour processing.
