Vibro sifter works on gyro principle. The required gyratory motion is obtained from specially designed gyro motor, which is fitted underneath the vibrating assembly. The complete vibrating assembly is isolated from the base by means of specially designed rugged springs. Gyro-motor is fitted with the top & bottom eccentric weights designed as per required centrifugal force. This whole assembly is covered by S.S. plate. The deck hopper is fabricated from S.S. 316 sheet. To collect the discharge tangential, discharge port is provided on the hopper. Conical shape top lid is provided with charging port. Screen is fitted in between the hopper & top lid. The machine inner & outer surfaces are mirror polished.

1 Level of Vibro Sifter Water Level
  •  Method for checking the Leveling of the Equipment
  • Using Spirit Level Indicator
  • Place the spirit level indicator at different points on the machine frame.
  • Acceptance Criteria:

The air bubble of the spirit level indicator shall be observed in the center.

  • Using Water Level Indicator
  • Place transparent tube filled with water of suitable length at various corners. Compare the levels of water and align the equipment
  • Acceptance Criteria:

The water level at both the locations should match with the edges of those locations, if required should be repeated for other edges of the equipment on same plane.

  • Method for checking the Alignment
  • Dial Indicator Method
  • Place the dial indicator on the coupling.
