A Pilot Scale Vibro Sifter (also known as a vibratory sifter, vibro screen, or laboratory/pilot-scale vibrating sieve) is a compact machine designed for small to medium-batch processing in research, development, and pilot production. It bridges the gap between laboratory testing and full-scale manufacturing, typically handling batches from a few kilograms up to 100-150 kg/hour.
It is widely used in pharmaceuticals, food, chemicals, cosmetics, and other industries for:
-
Screening and grading powders/granules
-
Separating solids from solids or solids from liquids
-
Removing oversize particles, lumps, or contaminants
-
Ensuring uniform particle size distribution
Unlike large industrial models (30-72 inch diameters), pilot scale versions are often 12-20 inches in diameter, portable, low-maintenance, and cGMP-compliant for hygienic applications.

Process Operation of Vibrating Screen
This vibrating energy screen is unit consisting of circular pre-tensioned screen mounted on the frame along with vibrating motor. The vibrating motor imparts three plane vibrations to the screen due to revolving eccentric weights. Total assembly is mounted on suitable springs so that it becomes a independent body which vibrates without parting any vibrations to the foundations.
