SWECO launch their biggest Sifter to date

A division of M-I L.L.C., particle separation & reduction specialists SWECO have introduced the BigMax™ Gyratory Sifter - their biggest yet. The new BigMax™, designed and built on the unrivalled success of the SWECO GyraMax™ line of sifters, offers high capacity and high performance in the same machine.

Known for their accuracy of separation,durability and reliability, GyraMax sifters are used across the globe in the most demanding of screening applications including activated carbon, fertilizer, frac sand, limestone, petroleum coke, plastic pellets, PVC powder, roofing granules, salt and sugar among many others, but the BigMax™ enables SWECO to include high capacity screening to the list of GyraMax features.

With the potential for 240 ft2 (22 m2) of screen area in one machine, the BigMax offers 12 feet (3.7 m) of screen deck length which is perfect for long retention time and accurate particle separation.

The BigMax is more than capable of allowing one to four separations in a single machine, depending on the desired deck configuration. This flexibility is available because of the BigMax’s ability to feed the material at a single point or independently to each deck.

The BigMax allows for quick and easy screen changes with no heavy lifting or tedious clips to engage. In addition, the screens can be replaced from either end of the machine without the need to remove the ball trays. The over and under-size material from each deck can also be sampled individually, eliminating the guesswork regarding which screen has failed.

SWECO serves the minerals, chemical, food, pharmaceutical, paper and many other industries with a complete line of separation, sizing and milling equipment.
