The smallest of the family, the handy two compartment SIRIUS plansifter. The integrated drive unit is located in the center. It causes the entire system to gyrate in precisely calculated oscillations to guarantee best sieving results.

SYNOPSIS-October 28, 2004-Jobwerx News-To remain competitive, you must know your customers needs and offer them solutions to satisfy them. With its outstanding sifting efficiency, its maximum design flexibility, and its unsurpassed sanitation standards, the SIRIUS plansifter is second to none.

Sirius, the "Dog Star", is the brightest star in the night sky - 20 times more luminous than the sun. It not only impresses experts of the night skies, but also fascinates amateur astronomers. And what the star Sirius means to stargazers is what the SIRIUS plansifter means to the flour milling industry - a superlative star second to none.

Defining the sanitation benchmark

Food purity and safety laws as well as consumers demand hygienically perfect products. With its new SIRIUS plansifter, Buhler has set new standards in this area as in others before. All inner walls and doors are provided with high-grade insulation, effectively preventing condensation inside the sifter. All parts in contact with the product are made of stainless steel or high-grade polyurethane. This systematic selection of materials and the elimination of screw fastenings in the individual compartments ensure the high and reliable product safety demanded by customers today.

Ever-higher throughput, ever higher sophistication

SIRIUS, the new plansifter generation from Buhler, can be assembled from individual modules. Whether two, four, six, eight, or ten compartments are required, the sifter design can be tailored with maximum flexibility to customers' specific needs. Its high sifting efficiency allows up to 180 metric tons of product to be handled per day by a ten-compartment plansifter. Sirius is Buhler's response to the increasing demand for sifters with ever-higher throughput capacities and sophistication both by the flour milling industry and for classifying powdered or granulated products. The sifter's maximum dynamic acceleration improves the sifting action. Its globally leading NOVA sieve technology is distinguished by efficient sieve cleaning, which ensures excellent sanitation and minimizes maintenance.

Flexibility through modular design

From the smallest two-compartment SIRIUS plansifter to the compact four compartment unit and the larger six-, eight-, and ten-compartment machines, the Buhler SIRIUS plansifter offers the ideal solution to all customer requirements. The modules can be selected individually, enabling them to be tailored exactly to the customer's specific needs. This is as true for plant rebuilds as it is for expansions. Dismantled into its separate modules, SIRIUS is easy to transport and assemble at the customer' site. This benefit is especially felt when building space is tight, allowing optimal use to be made of the available space.
