Plansifter

The self-balancing 6-channel spindle-type plansifter is used for sifting milled products on sieves. The plansifter consists of a main frame with a balancing mechanism mounted on it, two sieve housings with sieve frames, and an upper drive mechanism located on the second floor of the mill.

Rotation from the drive is transmitted to the balancing mechanism via a spindle. The plansifter is suspended by cables attached to the mill’s frame. The primary functional components of the plansifter are the two housings, each comprising stacked wooden frames with horizontal sieves stretched over them. The sieve housings perform oscillatory movements in the horizontal plane.

As the milled products move across the plansifter's sieves, they transition from one frame to the next, gradually sifting through and separating into top-grade flour, first-grade flour, and intermediate fractions. Through the plansifter's transport boxes, flour and bran are directed to the bins in the mill’s discharge section, while the intermediate fractions are returned for re-milling.
