High sifting capacity.
First-class end products.

The most recent generation of plansifters

is yet another example of the technological expertise and development
know-how of Buhler.

Application Features
The square plansifter has been designed for the sifting • Wide range of applications with 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10
and grading of mealy and floury products in wheat, rye, compartments
maize (corn), and durum mills as well as for the sorting of • Up to 32 sieves per compartment
different granular products and freeflowing granulates. • 16 to 110 square meters net sieve area, depending on
the particular model and size
Sifting capacity • High sifting capacity in a minimum space
The higher dynamic acceleration improves the sifting • Excellent sifting efficiency thanks to higher dynamic
action. The high sifting efficiency allows milling capacities acceleration
up to 180 metric tons daily using a single 10-compartment • High sanitation; all inside walls and doors provided with
plansifter. high-grade insulation
• Easy access for cleaning
• Minimized maintenance thanks to extreme ease of
handling

Automatic sieve stack reclamping system and integrated clamping
force checking device ensure absolute tightness of the sieve stack.

Sirius meets the most rigorous sanitation standards. Bottom insulation panel.

of stainless steel and high-grade PUR.

Sanitation
All the inside walls as well as the doors are provided with
high-grade insulation, which prevents condensation. All High sifting capacity
components in contact with the product are consistently
made of stainless steel or synthetic material. Using stain-
less steel and eliminating screw fasteners in the individual

Sirius plansifter MPAK-2

in operation as redress sifter.

The plansifter Sirius is available with

2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 compartments –
the smart solution for optimal space utilization.

Modularity
Available capacities cover a wide range, from the family’s
smallest – the handy 2-compartment – to the compact
4-, 6-, 8-, or 10-compartment sifters offering a solution
tailored to the individual specific needs. The modular
concept allows the number of modules to be adjusted
as required even at a later date. The plansifter is easy
to install and may, if dictated by the available space, be
shipped in the form of small modules of 90 by 90 centi-
meters, which is very beneficial if the plansifter is installed
in tight building spaces.

for 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 compartments.

Sieve generation NOVA.
Excellent sifting efficiency.

The Sirius square plansifter offers

top performance thanks to the NOVA
sieve generation.
The NOVA sieve generation is dis-
tinguished by its outstanding sifting
efficiency, thanks to its metal sieve frame
inserts and the combined sieve cleaners.

Features
• Higher sieve capacity with low space requirement More sifting area
• Combined NOVA cleaners for the sieve covers
and the sieve bottoms
• Sieve frames of wood coated with synthetic resin,
Efficient sieve
without backwire cleaning
• Wear-resistant metal frame inserts
• Sieve covers glued to metal sieve frame inserts Constant sifting
• Direct access to the cleaners without requiring
tools capacity
• Minimum sieve cleaning requirement
Optimal control

Easy maintenance.
Highest reliability.

Easy maintenance and

service.
Less cleaning and longer
maintenance intervals.

Maintenance
The new plansifter Sirius has proven its worth in tough
everyday service in the field. The results achieved are
impressive with drastically reduced cleaning and service
requirements up to 30%. This has been made possible
by a systematically implemented insulation concept, the
consistent use of stainless sifter compartments, and the
further development of the tried-and-tested NOVA sieve
technology.

At the same time, the maintenance intervals have also

been increased considerably. This success has been made
possible by the new drive concept, the Poly-V drive belts,
and the special bearing lubrication system.
