The Hi-Sifter, a advanced grading sieve, represents the newest advancement in powder screening technology and is available exclusively through Elcan Industries. Unlike traditional vibratory or ultrasonic sieves, the Hi-Sifter delivers vertical energy directly to the screen surface, enabling precise separations down to 10 microns. This approach keeps the screen mesh clear and free of screen blinding and removes the need for additional deblinding devices such as balls, sliders, or ultrasonics.
The system features a patented “tensionless” screen cloth, which extends mesh lifespan and eliminates the need to ship meshes back and forth for rescreening. The substantial energy delivered to the screen surface enables efficient sieving of a wide range of powders and can often serve as a cost-effective alternative to air classifiers. These sieving machines are utilized across various industries, including pharmaceuticals, aerospace, and battery materials. The systems are particularly effective at separating challenging or fine materials, and many companies have successfully replaced their traditional sieves—even for coarser applications—sometimes achieving replacement ratios as high as four to one. With features like contamination-free operation, explosion-proof construction, and high energy input, the machine is an ideal choice for companies seeking to upgrade or add screening equipment to their manufacturing processes. Hi-Sifter powder screening machines are available in single, double, and triple deck models. Their straightforward design allows for rapid screen mesh changes and minimal downtime between production runs.
Elcan Industries is currently the only company in the United States that offers testing on the Hi-Sifter at their state-of-the-art contract manufacturing facility in Tuckahoe, New York. Elcan encourages customers to come in and test and develop new products in Elcan’s advanced laboratory. Additionally, Elcan has several large scale production bays for toll processing available to customers looking to screen product under the supervision of the experts. Elcan has recently added Jet Milling, Blending, Tumbler Screeners and Air Classifying to complement their proprietary line of advanced sifting machines as well.
