Paint and coating manufacturers use vibro sifters at both ends of production: to screen dry pigments and fillers before dispersion, and to remove oversize particles, skins and grit from finished liquid paint before filling. Powder coating manufacturers use them to classify ground powder.
Applications
| Material | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Pigments and extenders | Remove lumps before dispersion |
| Liquid paints and primers | Remove skins, grit and oversize before filling |
| Powder coatings | Classify ground powder; remove oversize |
| Putty and texture materials | Grade fillers |
Solid–Liquid Separation
For liquid paints, the vibro sifter acts as a vibrating strainer. Vibration keeps the mesh open longer than static bag filters and speeds up straining of viscous products. Outlet arrangement is adapted for liquid flow.
Safety
Solvent-based paints are flammable. Specify a flameproof vibro sifter based on your area classification. Water-based paints and dry powders can generally use the standard motor.
