Plansifter
MPAP
Excellent sifting.
End products of top quality.
Application
This plansifter has been designed for the sifting
of granular and floury products as well as for the
sorting of differentproducts in wheat, rye, corn (maize)
and buckwheat mills. In addition, the plansifter is
applied as control sifter in flour storage systems ahead
of bagging and bulk loadout.
Features
• Maximum 84m2 net sieve area
• High sifting capacity; the clearance above
the sieves is adjusted to suit the product volume
by using different frame heights and
intermediate frames
• Sturdy, simple drive
• Up to 26 sieves per compartment
• Sieve frames of synthetic-resing-coated wood
• Excellent sanitation
• Easy access for cleaning
• Minimized maintenance
Drive with built-in motor
The sturdy drive ensures trouble-free operation of the
plansifter.
• The adjustability of the centrifugal weights allows
the throw of the sifter to be set to the optimum value
• The centrifugal weights are supported by sturdy self-aligning roller bearings with grease lubrication, resulting in low maintenance
Plansifter MPAP. Large sifting area
in a minimum space.
Range of models
The plansifter is available with 4, 6 or 8 compartments
all of the same height accommodating max. 26 sieves.
Dismantling for shipping. After
shipping the three box sections can
quickly and easily be bolted together.

Trouble-free operation.
Less maintenance.
Compartments
The inside of the sieve compartments is of simple design.
The continuous door retains the sieve stack in place by
means of robust locks. The product-carrying channels
are easily accessible and can therefore be cleaned with
minimum effort. The sieve frames are easy to install and
remove.
The sieve stack can be easily and securely clamped with
an easy-to-operate clamping device.

Sieve generation NOVA.
Outstanding sifting efficiency.
NOVA sieves features
• Higher sifting capacity in a given space
• Combined NOVA cleaners for the sieve cover and
the sieve tray
• Wood sieve frames coated with synthetic resin without
corrugated wire mesh
• Wear-resistant metal insert frames
• Sieve covers glued onto metal insert frames
• Direct access to the cleaners without the need for tools
• Minimum maintenance for cleaning the sieves
Sieve cleaners
The multi-arm cleaner constructed of special synthetic
material travels on its center foot across the entire sieve tray.
From here, the cleaner tips to the outer feet and the sieve
is cleaned in all corners. The arms located on the opposite
cleaner side tap against the sieve cover cleaning it.
NOVA sieve.
Type N (normal).
The two sieve frame types N (normal) and B (wide) allow
optimum adjustment of the sifting area to the amount of
stock and to the number of separations.

Break stocks from
the roller mill ahead of
the plansifter.
Examples of sifter schemes
show the stock flows:
a with normal frame type N, horizontally
divided
b with wide frame type B, twin flow
on primary sieves
c combined with wide frame (B) and
normal frame (N), horizontally divided
Working principle
The stock to be sifted is fed through one
or more inlets via the inlet frame to the sieve
stack. Different sieve frame types allow
up to seven separations. The individual
fractions are directed via channels in
the sieve housing and in the sieve frames to
the outlet frame. This frame directs the
collected stock to the spouts in the bottom
plate. Inspection spouts under the plansifter
allow the stock to be inspected with ease.
