Screening equipment selection
How To Choose a Pharmaceutical Vibro Sifter
Selection guide for pharmaceutical vibro sifters, including mesh size, capacity, containment, cleaning, feeding and downstream integration.
Short Answer
Choose a pharmaceutical vibro sifter by confirming the screening purpose, mesh size, capacity, powder behavior, containment level, feeding method and cleaning expectations.
Practical explanation
How To Think About This Decision
Use the guide as an engineering checklist before preparing a URS, layout review or quotation request.
The first decision is the screening purpose: safety screening, grading, post-dryer granule screening or removal of agglomerates before blending.
Mesh size and screen area should be selected around target particle size, flow behavior, deblinding need and acceptable product loss.
The sifter should be reviewed as part of the process, including how powder is fed, how oversize is handled and how accepted powder moves downstream.

Quotation input
What Information Is Needed For Quotation
A clear inquiry lets the engineering team review process step, powder behavior, capacity, containment level and layout constraints before proposing an equipment scope.
Powder name, bulk density, particle size range, flowability and moisture sensitivity.
Required batch size or hourly capacity, transfer distance, elevation and number of bends.
Target process step, upstream equipment, downstream equipment and room layout constraints.
Containment, dust extraction, cleanroom, cleaning and material contact expectations.
Preferred automation level, documentation support and FAT/SAT/IQ/OQ support needs if required.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How is mesh size selected?+
Mesh size depends on target particle size, feed distribution, product loss tolerance, capacity and whether the sifter is used for safety or classification.
When is ultrasonic deblinding useful?+
It may help with fine, sticky or blinding-prone powders, but the benefit should be reviewed against product behavior and cleaning expectations.
Can a sifter be connected inline?+
Yes. Inline feeding and discharge can be arranged with vacuum conveying, gravity transfer or flexible connectors.
