A customer recently sent us distiller’s grains for a screening test to enhance their animal feed production process. Distiller’s grains are a valuable byproduct of ethanol and alcohol production, widely used as a protein-rich ingredient in animal feed. However, before entering the granulator, the material must be properly screened to ensure uniform particle size and consistent quality.

Challenges in Screening Distiller’s Grains

Distiller’s grains present unique screening challenges. They are lightweight and have poor flowability, making it difficult to achieve efficient separation using traditional screening methods. If not properly screened, fine powder and oversized particles can affect the granulation process, leading to inconsistent pellet sizes and potential product quality issues.

Why Gyratory Sifter is the Best Choice?

For materials that require high capacity and precise screening, our gyratory sifter is the ideal solution. Unlike standard linear vibrating screens, the gyratory sifter operates with a gentle, elliptical motion that effectively distributes material across the screen surface. This reduces clogging, improves efficiency, and ensures high-precision separation. The key benefits include:

✅ Higher Screening Accuracy: Ensures uniform particle size for downstream processing.

✅ Increased Capacity: One gyratory sifter can replace multiple traditional screens, maximizing production efficiency.

✅ Reduced Maintenance: Smooth motion and optimized design reduce wear and tear, extending the lifespan of the machine.

✅ Space-Saving Design: Higher processing capacity in a compact footprint, optimizing factory layout.

Outstanding Screening Results

After testing, the screening results were excellent, effectively separating the required particle sizes while eliminating fine dust and oversized materials. The consistent screening performance ensures smooth processing in the granulator, helping the customer achieve better feed quality and higher production efficiency.

For industries dealing with bulk materials that require high-precision screening, the gyratory sifter is a reliable and efficient solution. Whether it’s for food, feed, or chemical applications, its high capacity, accuracy, and durability make it a superior choice for businesses looking to improve their production processes.
