Adhesive powders are used across a wide range of industries, including automotive, packaging, textiles, and construction, where flowability, particle uniformity, and purity are critical to performance. Whether used in hot melt adhesives, thermoplastic resins, or pressure-sensitive formulations, these powders must be screened to exact particle sizes to ensure proper application and product consistency.
Traditional screening systems often fail to handle adhesive powders efficiently due to clumping, mesh blinding, and electrostatic buildup. These materials tend to be tacky or hygroscopic, causing them to clog screens and disrupt production. Elcan Industries’ high-energy screening technology provides a proven solution for processing adhesive powders—maintaining throughput while achieving precise separations without screen blinding.
Screening adhesive powders presents unique challenges due to their tendency to stick, clump, or become electrostatically charged. The Hi-Sifter is specifically designed to address these issues using sieving machine that employs a high vertical energy that keeps powders in motion across the mesh, preventing blinding and buildup. This leads to consistent particle separation and higher throughput, even with difficult-to-handle materials.
Improved powder flowability is critical in adhesive applications where uniform particle sizes affect bond strength, application consistency, and curing behavior. Elcan’s high-energy screening solution enhances the quality and performance of adhesive products, whether used in film coatings, laminates, hot melts, or bonding layers.
The Hi-Sifter is available in stainless steel construction, and is easily cleaned between batches to prevent cross-contamination—making it ideal for manufacturers requiring tight quality control and hygienic processing standards.
