Security Screening Breakfast Cereals

Breakfast cereals have seen a recent resurgence in popularity especially in the organic and enhanced nutritional segments of the industry. An international manufacturer of nutritional cereals needed a compact in-line solution to security screen over-sized products larger than 9.5mm before they entered final packaging. The customer approached Quadro with three main requirements - capture all over-sized product in the screen basket, sift the material at a minimum capacity of 3600 kg/hr without causing damage to the finished product and be easily integrated into their existing plant vacuum transfer system.

To meet the needs of the manufacturer, Quadro introduced the Quadro Sifter - a compact, in-line, high-capacity, vibration-free solution for today's efficiency-minded cereal manufacturers. In order to easily integrate the Quadro Sifter into an existing vacuum transfer system, the unit was fitted with optional vacuum transfer components. These components allowed the Quadro Sifter to be installed in-line without extensive or costly modifications.

The Quadro Sifter was able to successfully security screen the cereal with a custom fabricated 9.5mm screen without causing damage to the product. The capacities achieved with the Quadro Sifter exceeded 5000 kg/hr, surpassing the customer's requirements resulting in increased production.
