Removing oversized particles, screening out foreign matter, sorting products by particle size, feeding material evenly, or conveying and dewatering bulk materials between process steps—each application has its own specific requirements for material handling, process reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
That is why SPALECK develops conveying and separation technology tailored to your material properties, process requirements, and production goals.
Control screening is used for quality assurance within the production process. It removes unwanted particles, agglomerates, or foreign matter from the product stream before downstream process steps or packaging take place. The goal is to ensure consistent product quality and compliance with defined specifications.
During classification, bulk materials are specifically separated by particle size. This results in defined particle size fractions that are required for subsequent process steps or to meet product specifications. Classification is used, for example, with powders, granules, pellets, and extruded products.
Dust removal is used when fine particles affect product quality, further processing, or process characteristics. By selectively separating dust fractions, the desired product characteristics can be achieved and downstream processes can be optimized.
For the controlled feeding of raw materials, intermediate products, and finished products in the pharmaceutical, chemical, food, and pet food industries, SPALECK offers a range of solutions, such as vibratory feeders, vibrating chutes, vibrating conveyor tubes, and specialized dosing systems. Depending on the application and material, we will work with you to determine the optimal machine.
Consistent, precise dosing is the foundation for controllable production and efficient production processes. It helps ensure compliance with recipes, for example, ensures process-optimizing material flows, and contributes to the long-term assurance of product quality and process efficiency.
Dewatering processes are used to selectively separate liquids from solids. This allows products to be prepared for subsequent process steps, reduces transportation costs, or achieves a target residual moisture content.

The ComfortLINE series of stainless steel screening machines, conveyor chutes, and dosing units was specifically designed for applications with the highest hygiene requirements and ease of use.
GMP is the English term “Good Manufacturing Practice”. The rules of GMP are laid down in national and international regulations in order to guarantee binding standards. GMP is intended to ensure high quality throughout the entire manufacturing process. This applies, for example, to the manufacture, processing, packaging and storage of medicines, food, pet food and chemical products. Above all, strict requirements must be met in terms of hygiene, equipment, premises and controls (documentation) in the manufacturing process.
In the production of pet food, the highest quality and hygiene standards are crucial to ensuring safe and consistently high-quality products. SPALECK screening machines for pet food are designed to meet these requirements and help ensure compliance with the principles of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) as well as other relevant guidelines for pet food production.
By reliably separating foreign objects, contaminants, and oversized and Undersize grains, the screening machines help ensure consistent product quality and a trouble-free production process. At the same time, they promote hygienic processes, high product safety, and efficiency in manufacturing—key requirements for modern, certification-compliant pet food production.
Together with our customers, we develop the optimal screening machine for your pet food production. As a basis for the individual planning of your screening machine, we take into account, for example, possible screening capacities, possible material changes or increases in production.
Contamination of food due to unclean production equipment must be avoided at all costs, which is why absolutely reliable and simple cleaning options are crucial in your pet food production. SPALECK pet food sieving machines offer clear advantages thanks to their user-friendliness and ease of cleaning. Our SPALECK ComfortLINE is prepared for changing screenings (e.g. from dry to wet food). Thanks to innovative technologies, the screening systems can be cleaned extremely quickly and are therefore ready for the screening of a different feed in the shortest possible time.
SPALECK pet food screening machines are also easy to assemble and can be optimally integrated into existing production. Another advantage: We manufacture the pet food screening machines from food-safe stainless steel. This food-safe choice of material offers you and the food efficient protection against contamination.
Inspection screening machines can be used in any industry or sector that faces the challenge of product contamination. For example, a Control screening machine helps you clean your bulk materials or granules of unwanted contaminants, particles, and other debris. Control screening can be performed, for instance, prior to packaging to guarantee your customers consistently high quality. In addition, Control screening and protective screening can also take place before the manufacturing process (for example, with bulk materials) or during the manufacturing process itself. Cleanliness of workpieces is becoming increasingly important, especially in manufacturing, as contaminants can hinder or even damage the production process.
With our protective screening system, the screening technology is crucial for ensuring consistent product quality. The mesh size of the screening panels is adjusted to your requirements to guarantee precise protective or Control screening. For example, by adjusting the vibration parameters or the angle of inclination of the Control screening machine, we tailor the screening characteristics and dynamics of the Control screening machine to your products.
It is important to both you and us that the control screening machine serves as a reliable production step in your manufacturing process. As a manufacturer of screening machines for the pharmaceutical, chemical, pet food, and food industries, we offer you comprehensive process knowledge and experience to determine which protective screen, configuration, and Screening technology you need. Our primary goal is to provide you with a screening machine that operates reliably and minimizes your production downtime. That is why we tailor our screening machines precisely to the requirements of your industry. In addition, we ensure that our production process utilizes materials with durability and robustness to minimize downtime for your screening machine. This also means that we adapt the screening machine to your production volume to guarantee a smooth production flow. We also offer inspection screening machines that your employees can easily operate and maintain.
Control screening is used for quality assurance within the production process. It removes unwanted particles, agglomerates, or foreign matter from the product stream before downstream process steps or packaging take place. The goal is to ensure consistent product quality and compliance with defined specifications.
The purity, quality and integrity of pharmaceutical products are probably more important in the pharmaceutical industry than in almost any other branch of industry. Highly efficient and highly selective pharmaceutical screening machines are therefore available specifically for the pharmaceutical sector. Pharmaceutical sieves help to screen out impurities, foreign bodies and faulty or interfering products in the manufacturing process. They also separate and separate pharmaceutical powders, drug components and ingredients, for example.
Areas of application are
SPALECK food screening machines are specially developed to meet the high requirements of the food industry and consistently comply with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and other relevant standards and directives such as EU food safety, HACCP, HAZOP, FDA, USDA and the UK Food Safety Act.
They enable the reliable separation of foreign bodies, impurities and oversized and undersized grains, thus contributing to consistently high product quality. As a result, they not only support food safety, but also ensure certification-compliant, hygienic and Efficiency efficient production processes.
We work with you to develop the optimum screening machine for your food products. Your required screening capacities, possible material changes or production increases are taken into account in the planning.
The very easy and absolutely reliable cleaning of the screening machines is also essential. This is particularly important in the food industry, where production equipment must be cleaned regularly and very thoroughly. SPALECK food screening machines offer significant advantages here thanks to their ease of use and cleaning. If the material to be screened changes (e.g. different colors of sweets), your SPALECK screening machine is cleaned extremely quickly thanks to the innovative SPALECK ComfortLINE technology and is ready for use again for the screening of another food product.
Our food and foodstuff screening machines are also very easy to assemble. This is important for repositioning in your production process. Another advantage: We manufacture the food screening machines on food-safe stainless steel. This food-safe choice of material offers you and the food efficient protection against contamination.
As a manufacturer of pellet screening machines, we know that parameters can sometimes change in the pellet production process. It is therefore important to us that your pellet screening machine can also cope with these changing requirements. We design our screening machines for granulates in such a way that, for example, the screening surface can be changed quickly and easily when changing materials. This means that your employees can change screen linings very quickly on site. At the same time, maintenance is easy. Both minimize any downtimes during pellet screening and pellet production.
To ensure that the pellet screening machine can achieve the best screening results, its vibration frequency, screening panels and inclination are optimally adapted to your screening material. At the start of the screening process, the raw material is fed into the granulate screening machine. Thanks to our special feeding technology, the granulate is fed very evenly onto the screening machine. The granulate is then separated into different fractions by the screening machine for granulates using vibrations and oscillations with the help of the screening panels. The screening result is the finest granulate, which you can use optimally.
