Revolutionizing Ceramic Slip Filtration with Galaxy Sivtek’s Advanced Sieving Solutions

In the world of ceramics manufacturing, quality is built into the casting process, and this starts with perfect ceramic slip. Slip, which is a liquid mixture of clay and water must contain no oversized or agglomerated particles or contaminates capable of interfering with mold filling, finish and strength.

Historically, filtering slip using sieves and filters has been ineffective, leaving persistently oversized particles that ultimately leads to clogged molds, surface defects, and inconsistent product output. That’s why modern ceramic manufacturers are turning to advanced sieving solutions—and Galaxy Sivtek is leading the way with its high-performance machines: the Super Gyro Separator® and Super Sivtek® Separator—are transforming the way manufacturers achieve precise, efficient, and hygienic ceramic slip filtration.

Why Ceramic Slip Filtration Matters

During casting, ceramic slip has to flow very smoothly into molds. Irregular particle size and impurity may cause:

• Surface imperfections or pinholes
• Irregular mold filling
• Increased rejection rates
• Increased maintenance and labor

To avoid these costly issues, ceramic slip must be filtered with high precision—removing all oversized solids while maintaining efficient throughput. That’s where Galaxy Sivtek’s advanced sieving machines really shine.

Introducing the Game-Changers in Slip Filtration

Super Gyro Separator®

The Super Gyro Separator® is a compact, gyratory sieving marvel optimized for both wet and dry ceramic slip. Key attributes include:

• Double the vibration intensity of traditional vibro sifters, using dual eccentric weights on the top and bottom of the motor shaft—propelling slip across the screen for highly efficient separation.
• Adjustable lead angle to control particle trajectory and separation performance.
• Up to five grades in a single pass to achieve precise size distribution ranging from coarse particles to ultra-fine particles of about 25 µm.
• Its compact design, complete with low headroom and handy castor wheels, makes it easy to integrate into existing setups and allows for quick relocation or cleaning.
• cGMP and FDA-compliant materials that are suitable for a hygienically run ceramic operation.
• In practical terms, slip filtration becomes more efficient—no clogs, fewer rejects, and enhanced mold consistency.

Super Sivtek® Separator

For environments demanding ultra-fine filtration and exceptional throughput, the Super Sivtek® Separator sets the standard:

• Three times higher vibration than conventional sifters, powered by a high-torque motor enabling aggressive yet controlled screening.
• Ultra-fine mesh compatibility down to 25 µm (500#) to separate even microscopic contaminants.
• Five-stage gradation, in a single unit, providing the whole size ranges—from coarse to ultra-fine—in just one run.
• High-capacity circular screen, capable of screening up to 500 units repeatedly without break down.
• For dry or wet use, thereby suitable for slip filtration or powdered ceramic materials.
• Built-in safety & hygiene features include mirror-polished stainless steel, inspection windows, and cGMP/FDA standards.

This machine delivers unmatched filtration control, reducing rework and maximizing product yield.

Choosing the Right Machine

If you have space limitations and are looking for efficient multi-level wet/dry processing, then go for the Super Gyro Separator®.

Choose Super Sivtek® when ultra-fine particle control and high volume are essential—ideal for glaze preparation and premium ceramics.

Final Thoughts

Galaxy Sivtek’s Super Gyro Separator® and Super Sivtek® Separator are not just ordinary sieving machines—they’re a game changer in the world of ceramic slip filtration. By using powerful vibration, accurate grading, and hygiene process engineering, they enable manufacturers to make castings faster, cleaner, and more reliably.
