Recovery and reprocessing is essential for any process line to ensure product wastage is minimized. A client requested a test to grade chocolate brownie pieces into 2 fractions. Having more than 80 years of experience in liquid and solid separation technology Russell Finex engineers chose to use the Finex Separator™, a market leading vibrating separator.

Installed with a single deck and 2mm mesh screen, fines and oversize of chocolate brownie pieces can be obtained allowing for reuse of the 2 cuts with a throughput rate of 160 kg/hr. However, this extremely versatile grading separator can provide 5 highly accurate product fractions for both wet and dry materials and operators can scale production up and down, achieving maximum throughput rates of up to 10 t/hr.

Due to the rubber suspension of this vibrating separator, transmission of vibration to the mesh is higher than in spring mounted grading sieves providing higher screening capacities. In addition, the rubber suspension means the operating noise level is down to 69 dBA, much lower than traditional spring mounted separators. Using a standard electric motor provides operating speeds of 1800 rpm which also enhances the performance of the separator.

The Finex Separator™ provides both accurate grading and separation in one operation. For more information on this application or on how we can help you with your unique requirements visit our website.
