Requirement & Challenges

The client was making coriander powder with the standard process in accordance with EU, US, Australian, Indian & Japanese food safety norms. The client had the requirement of sieving coriander powder after initial grinding as to remove oversize particles (not properly ground particles) & send them back for grinding.

The challenges while sieving coriander powder was common yet considerable! The first & and foremost issue was of screening efficiency, following other issues like lumps & agglomerate blinding & blocking the screen and higher percentage of oversize remaining of the screen for a long time increasing the load on mesh affecting mesh life.

The rigid physical characteristics of coriander powder are the prime reason that makes it difficult to sieve material. It contains a high level of moisture & oil presence is quite more, these make it adhesive to screen while sieving.

Due to oil & moisture presence, the material forms lumps become sticky and not free-flowing, these all tend towards screen blinding & blocking. Screen blockage is the primary reason for low screening efficiency.

Earlier, the client was using competitor made round sifter & faced

– Low screening efficiency.

– Screen blinding.

– Low throughput.

– High maintenance.

– Frequent cleaning.

Requirement

– Sieving machine with higher screening efficiency.

– System/arrangement that could help de-agglomerate the powder & ease sieving process.

– No or minimal manual cleaning.

– High output sifter
