Swiss made sizing system for cut food
by FUCHS Maschinen AG Mechanically cutting of natural products such as carrots, kohlrabi, cucumbers, but also of cheese or meat products produces shorter bits, which are not very appealing in a pack-age. For that reason, the shorter bits should be sorted before packing.
The SIFTOMAT food is the ideal machine to carry out such sizing. The SIFTOMAT food is a variant of the SIFTOMAT plansifter, specially adapted to the conditions of the food pro-cessing industry and to its specific applications and is a successfully established product in the market.
Basically, the SIFTOMAT food is a horizontally vibrating square-shaped plansifter. The product transfer is only due to the vibration of the sieve and to inclination of the later in the direction of the sifter output. The product, such as carrot sticks, moves gently over a perforated sheet. Shorter bits whose half lengths are smaller than the diameter of the sheet perforations fall through the sifter and are discarded. The longer bits move over
