What is a precision sizer

As the name implies, a precision sizer is a machine that can size granular material like seeds, rice, barley, wheat, oats, shelled peanuts, beans, and a variety of other small particles. The machine divides these incoming particles into different cylinders based on their width and thickness as they pass through perforations inside the cylinders. The larger materials are then carried to the end of the machine. These precision machines are so precise because of the cylindrical motion, which presents the particle in a variety of directions and angles. Particles are typically put through a precision sizer before they go into a gravity separator.

Precision sizer uses

Precision sizers are commonly used by seed, grain, and milling operations to sort out rocks, twigs, and other unwanted particles that could potentially contaminate a product. Precision equipment frees products of all major contamination by size and shape (for example, round from flat, or whole beans from half beans). Coffee manufacturers will also find precision sizers helpful for sorting out any impurities that may have gotten mixed in with their harvested beans. Oliver Sizers are a very useful piece of machinery for most processing companies that wants to ensure their product is high quality and free of any unwanted particles and contaminants. Our precision sizers are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of industries we serve, such as food processing and seed and grain cleaning, ensuring unparalleled accuracy and efficiency for your operations.

    Oliver Size Right® precision sizers separate seed, grain, and industrial materials by width and thickness for cleaner sizing and better processing consistency.

How do Oliver Manufacturing precision sizers work?

Oliver Size Right precision sizers separate materials by width and thickness to deliver accurate, consistent sizing and cleaner products.

Material enters the sizer and spreads across multiple sizing decks. Each deck contains rows of oblong openings. Particles that are small enough to pass through the openings fall to the next deck. Particles that are too wide or too thick are carried forward and discharged at the end of that deck. This process continues until each particle is sorted by its width and thickness.

A combination of gentle vibration and controlled airflow keeps material evenly distributed across the deck surface, preventing balling or tunneling so every particle has a fair opportunity to be sized.

Deck angle, stroke, and air volume are easily adjusted to match different products and sizing requirements, giving you precise control, repeatable results, and high-quality fractions.

Particles are separated by width and thickness. Smaller particles pass through the openings to lower decks. Particles that are too wide or too thick are carried forward and discharged at the end of the deck where they are removed.
