Advantages of the Tru-Balance Drive
 

The Great Western Tru-Balance sifters each feature a
perfectly balanced drive which ensures vibration free
performance. The Tru-Balance sifter is available in
four different models:

  • Box Type
  • Stainless Steel
  • Modular
  • In-Line

Each model is custom designed to match the customer's specific requirements for screening dry products ranging in size from ¼" to 400 mesh. Each model can be mounted on the floor or ceiling suspended...to suit the installation requirements.

The Tru-Balance drive transfers the gyratory motion to both the top and bottom of the sieving unit simultaneously.. The inertial “top heavy” lag common to sifters with drive mechanisms positioned below the sieve unit is avoided.
Our horizontal gyratory motion is gentle. It reduces product degradation and is superior to designs using vibratory or centrifugal action.
Vibratory designs bounce materials vertically which shortens the time they are in contact with the screen and reduces efficiency. Oversized elongated particles pass through the screen when they are upended impairing separation quality.

Our gentle gyratory sifting action is less severe than centrifugal sifters. Separation of near sized particles is more precise and the risk of fracturing oversize impurities and forcing them through the screen is diminished.
