A transparent inspection window at the top provides direct visibility inside the sieve, supporting real-time monitoring. For enhanced mobility, optional casters allow operators to move the unit with ease and lock it securely during operation.
MLT Cuccolini’s VTP sieve guarantees uninterrupted product flow through the combined action of vibration and suction, enabling a high-capacity sieving process specifically designed for safety sieving applications, in which foreign particles and oversized granules must be intercepted, while a high flow of material is quickly passing through the mesh. Nowadays, this solution is widely adopted across multiple sectors: in the chemical industry, in food production (particularly for bakery mixtures), and in the pharmaceutical industry for various powdered blends and raw materials.
Unlike conventional vibrating sieves that require vertical installation for gravity-fed handling, the VTP operates horizontally within vacuum conveying systems. This unit can be easily embedded in existing vacuum piping lines. The air flow generated ensures smooth product handling without stagnation, eliminating the need for costly line adaptations.
Recent installations in the pharmaceutical industry feature an over-mesh cleaning system that improves sieving speed and efficiency, along with a dedicated electrical control panel. This provides full operational independence, allowing the operator to start and stop the sieve directly via connection to the power grid, without relying on the main production line’s control system.
With a fixed diameter of 800 mm, the VTP is designed for easy handling, quick opening, and efficient cleaning even by a single operator, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity. Available in AISI 304 or AISI 316 stainless steel, it meets the highest compliance standards for different industries.
Beyond the equipment itself, MLT Cuccolini delivers a comprehensive service approach. From expert technical advice during the planning phase to ongoing support through its Aftermarket Division, the company provides tailored maintenance kits and training, scheduled service programs, and responsive assistance. This ensures long-term sieve performance, reliability, and the elimination of unexpected downtime.
The historic company Virto-Cuccolini is now powered by MLT Srl. MLT Srl offers Made-In-Italy screening solutions using vibration, nutation, and multi-frequency technologies for separating and classifying solids, liquids, and slurries. MLT Cuccolini vibrating sieves successfully serve a wide range of diverse manufacturing sectors, based on application-centered solutions. Today, the company counts over 20,000 units installed worldwide.
