SIFTER EFFICIENCY

摘要

The St. John's Newfoundland plant of Canada Bread Atlantic, (one of Canada's largest producers of bread and other flour-based products) processes more than 30,500 tonnes of flour annually, requiring an efficient, low-maintenance system to sift the flour upstream of blending and baking operations.To meet increased demand for bread in Newfoundland dueto population growth, the plant needed to overcome abottleneck in flour screening, which was limited to 3,100 kg/h of capacity (the equivalent of 2.5 bulk bags) using two existing gyratory box screeners. To boost output the plant installed two pressurised Centri-Sifter~(TM) centrifugal sifters from KasonCorporation, which can process 4,500 kg/h, a 43% increase.
