What is a plansifter?
A plansifter is a sifter in the mill for separating the grain components. Each plansifter contains several sifting compartments with sieve stacks. The separation process of sieving and layering allows the ground material to be divided into components of different densities.
History of the plansifter
Plansifter sieves were used for sieving flour at that time. These machines were invented by Karl Haggenmacher in Budapest in 1888 and replaced the hexagonal sifter.
