High Performance Industrial Bakery Powder Sifter At Zeelandia

With over 100 years of experience, Zeelandia, based in Holland, is a leading manufacturer of raw bakery ingredients. To satisfy increasing market demands Zeelandia sought to optimize product quality, improve productivity and reduce downtime. The key search criteria for new machinery included the ability to achieve capacities of 2 tonnes of bakery powder per hour, meet strict hygiene and safety standards, easily fit into the existing manufacturing process and sieve products on varying mesh sizes with minimal disruption to the production process.

Due to an already established relationship Zeelandia knew they could rely on Russell Finex to provide the solution they were looking for. Realizing the benefits of Russell Finex’s innovative experience and testing facilities, Zeelandia installed two custom built 900mm Russell Compact Sieves®, with one machine fitted with the Russell Vibrasonic® Deblinding System to prevent the mesh screen from blocking. The innovative vibrasonic system also allowed Zeelandia to screen their product more accurately and reduce re-screening of good product, therefore improving the bottom line.

To satisfy Zeelandia’s objectives, the units were customized with lower sieve decks and enlarged underpans to enable the units to fit neatly into the existing process. They were also fitted with Russell high quality mesh, enabling rapid screen changeover, reducing downtime and improving productivity. The units were supplied to meet the ATEX approval ratings and were also fully compliant with strict HACCP and FDA hygiene standards.

The Russell Compact Sieve® range of vibratory screeners removes all oversized contamination and is ideal for high capacity safety screening of powders and liquid slurries. These vibratory sieves fit neatly into production lines, providing considerable screening capacity without requiring excessive headroom.
