Titanius Square Sifter
Titanius Square Sifter: A Revolutionary Solution for Milling
The Titanius Square Sifter developed by Tanış A.Ş., which has been serving the milling sector since 1956, is an innovative solution that increases your grain cleaning efficiency. These unique square-form sieves, produced in our Gaziantep-based production facilities with our experience in wheat, corn, and barley processing equipment, offer superior durability, high capacity, and maximum efficiency.
Titanius Square Sieve is a high-capacity grain sifting system designed in a square shape, unlike traditional circular-form sieves. Its basic structure is a sifting technology equipped with high-vibration and balanced motion mechanism, reinforced with titanium alloy components.
The unique design advantages brought by the square form significantly increase the maximization of sifting surface and area utilization efficiency. While part of the surface area in traditional circular sieves cannot be used effectively, up to 27% more sifting area is provided thanks to the square design.
Titanium reinforcement technology is also the origin of the product’s naming. Titanium alloy technology used in critical structural components provides a long-lasting and robust structure even under high vibration. This reinforcement has been specifically applied at corner junction points where sieves are most stressed and vibration transmission centers.
Among the innovations it offers compared to traditional sieves are balanced vibration distribution, higher capacity sifting ability, easy sieve change system, and long-lasting durability thanks to titanium reinforcement. These features make Titanius Square Sieve a revolutionary solution in the milling sector.
The effect of square form structure on sifting efficiency is fundamentally based on the physical advantages of geometry. The application of horizontal vibration movement to the square form ensures equal distribution of grain across the entire surface and eliminates regions called “dead spots” where no sifting occurs.
Optimum area utilization provides great advantages especially in mills with limited facility space. The square form offers more sifting surface within the same base area and provides more compact placement opportunity in facilities. Additionally, it enables more economical use of standard-sized sieve cloths.
Vibration distribution and balanced movement is one of the most important engineering achievements of Titanius Square Sieve. Thanks to the multi-point driven vibration system, not center-axis driven, equal amplitude vibration distribution is provided across the entire sifting surface. This balance increases sifting efficiency while reducing structural stress.
Structural durability and long life features are achieved with titanium alloy components and optimized design. Special corner reinforcements of the square form maintain structural integrity even at high-frequency vibrations. This provides up to 40% longer service life compared to traditional sieves.
Titanium alloy components are used especially at critical points operating under high vibration. Titanium-steel composite alloys create an ideal engineering solution by offering lightness and durability together. These alloys are strategically positioned at corner junction points, bearing housings, and vibration transmission components.
Superior durability properties against wear are the distinguishing feature of Titanius technology. Vibration-induced fatigue and wear, one of the biggest problems of traditional sieves, has been minimized with special surface treatments and material science applications.
Material engineering for long-lasting operation is applied at every stage of the production process. Heat-treated materials, precision welding technologies, and computer-aided structural analysis optimized components form the foundation of Titanius Square Sieve’s long-lasting performance.
Performance stability under heavy load is critically important in continuously operating mill facilities. Titanium reinforcement offers stable operation even at high vibration frequency and long-term operation opportunity without performance loss.

Sifting Performance and Efficiency Advantages
High-precision sifting capability is one of the fundamental advantages of Titanius Square Sieve. Thanks to balanced vibration distribution and optimum sifting angle, maximum contact of grain particles with the sieve surface is ensured. This feature minimizes the blind passage ratio.
Performance in separating foreign materials of different sizes and qualities is enhanced with multi-layer options. The first layer serves coarse cleaning, the second layer fine particle separation, and the third layer final control function. This configuration offers the opportunity to perform a series of sifting operations in a single unit.
Among the design features that reduce clogging and failure risk are self-cleaning sieve surfaces and optimum vibration amplitude. Specially shaped ball cleaners prevent clogging of sieve holes and provide a continuously clean sifting surface.
Superiority in capacity-efficiency ratio is the competitive advantage of Titanius Square Sieve. It offers up to 30% higher capacity within the same area compared to traditional systems and does not compromise on sifting efficiency.
Test Results and Performance Data
Data obtained from laboratory and field tests confirm the superior performance of Titanius Square Sieve. In tests conducted under controlled conditions, 25-30% higher sifting capacity was measured compared to circular sieves of the same size.
In comparative performance analysis with traditional sieves, the distinct advantage of Titanius Square Sieve was observed especially in high-moisture and dirty grains. Even in wheat with high contamination rates, cleaning efficiency above 98% was achieved.
