Core Solution Overview

XUANYU’s sieving system is optimized for carrageenan powder, which is a fine, often cohesive seaweed extract used in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics as a stabilizer, thickener, or gelling agent. The solution typically uses a rotary vibrating screen with the following key attributes:

• Precise Classification: Configurable mesh sizes (40–200 mesh common for carrageenan) to achieve target particle size distributions, ensuring product consistency and compliance with industry standards.
• Anti-Clogging Design: Equipped with net cleaning devices (e.g., bouncing balls, rubber balls) to prevent mesh blockage from sticky or fine particles, maintaining high screening efficiency.
• Food-Grade Construction: Made from stainless steel or other food-contact materials, easy to clean and sanitize, meeting FDA, EU, and other regulatory requirements.
• Customization: Multi-layer screen options, adjustable discharge directions, and variable capacity to adapt to different production scales and purity levels.
• Operational Flexibility: Compact, lightweight, and mobile design for easy integration into existing production lines, with low maintenance and simple sieve replacement.

Technical Specifications (Typical)

Parameter	Value
Screen Type	Rotary Vibrating Screen
Material	304/316 Stainless Steel

Application Process

• Pre-Screening: Remove large particles/debris from dried carrageenan gel before milling.
• Classification: Separate powder into desired particle sizes post-milling, ensuring uniformity.
• Impurity Removal: Filter out foreign matter (e.g., dust, metal, or seaweed residues) to meet purity standards.
• Post-Processing: Ensure final product meets customer-specific mesh and quality requirements before packaging.

Advantages

• High Efficiency: Continuous operation with minimal downtime, reducing production costs and ensuring consistent output.
• Product Quality: Tighter particle size control improves solubility, gel strength, and functional performance in end applications.
• Compliance: Food-grade materials and easy cleaning support adherence to strict hygiene and safety regulations.
• Cost-Effective: Low energy consumption, long sieve life, and simple maintenance minimize total operational expenses.

Typical Configurations for Carrageenan

• Mesh Selection: 60–100 mesh for standard food-grade carrageenan; 150–200 mesh for high-purity or pharmaceutical applications.
• Layer Setup: 2 layers for two fractions (oversize removal + main product collection); 3 layers for three-way classification.
• Net Cleaning: Bouncing balls for general anti-clogging; ultrasonic systems for ultra-fine powders.
