Sizing Shaker

LMC VistaSort Sizing Shakers are used to separate dry, flowable products by specific size. Our sizing shakers have proven themselves over the years by separating products such as grains, seeds and beans. The machines are counter-balanced, which allows smooth operation and long life. LMC VistaSort’s sizing shakers are capable of removing large objects like sticks and hulls and small particles such as fines and pieces.

Sizing Shakers Options & Features:

  • Single deck
  • Parallel deck

  • Various deck angles (5 deg., 8 deg., 10 deg., 12 deg., and 15 deg. )
  • Stainless steel contacts available

  • Distribution Hopper

    To ensure even distribution of the product across the screening sections, a product distribution hopper is a standard attachment on all LMC VistaSort Sizing Shakers.

  • Ball Tray

    Screen blockage is prevented by using 2” balls. LMC VistaSort tried the woven type ball racks similar to those used by others. LMC VistaSort found the relatively flat surface of woven ball racks did not give the proper aggressive, random action to the cleaning balls. Therefore LMC VistaSort developed a special system using round rods to impart the required action to the cleaning balls. All ball trays are manufactured in 2’ long removable sections for easy clean out when sanitation is a high priority.

  • Construction

    Constructed with mechanical steel tubing, the framing is strong and sanitary. Likewise, the shaker decks are manufactured using steel components. Mild steel contact surfaces are standard with stainless steel options available.

  • Screening

    Screen combinations, along with deck configuration, can be arranged to perform sifting and scalping operations on the same machine. LMC VistaSort's quick-change screens are manufactured in 2’ sections for easy exchange.

  • Decks

    It is essential for the product to be properly distributed to the screening surfaces. In most cases, the siftings are generally lighter than the larger product. These siftings migrate to the top and product depth increases, resulting in the siftings being carried over with the accepts. Proper distribution, deck position, as well as spring orientation help overcome carryover.

  • Spouts

    Each machine is custom designed to include a spouting configuration that matches the customer’s unique situation. Size, location, and orientation of spouts are some of the many modifications that LMC VistaSort can incorporate into the design to accommodate certain separations or space constraints.

Sizing Shaker Screens

The screens of a typical LMC VistaSort sizing shaker can be changed in only a few minutes, reducing downtime and increasing your plant’s efficiency. Since we manufacture our own screen, they can be configured for any sizing operation, Optional ball trays minimize screen blinding for maximum screen efficiency.
