Cosmetic powders must feel smooth on the skin and look uniform in colour, so particle size control is essential. Cosmetic manufacturers use vibro sifters to remove agglomerates and oversize from talc, mica, face powders, compact powder bases and colour pigments.
Applications
- Sifting talc and base powders before blending.
- Breaking agglomerates after pigment blending.
- Final screening of loose face powders and baby powders before filling.
- Sifting compact-powder blends before pressing.
Requirements
- Fine screens – often 100 mesh and finer
- Enclosed lid to contain very fine dust
- Stainless contact parts that do not discolour the product
- Easy cleaning between shades to avoid colour carry-over
Fine Powder Considerations
Very fine cosmetic powders can bridge over mesh openings. Choose a machine with sufficient screen area, keep the screen correctly tensioned, and allow for longer residence time through the motor weight setting. See powder sieving machine for details.

Learn moreFrequently Asked Questions
Can a vibro sifter handle very fine cosmetic powders?
Yes, with fine screens up to 300 mesh. Flow and moisture of the powder decide practical output.
How do I avoid colour carry-over between shades?
Dismantle and clean the screen and frames between shades; dedicated screens for dark colours help.
Is the machine dust-tight?
The lidded design contains dust during sifting; a dust extraction point can be considered for very fine powders.
