Russell Compact Airswept Sieve™
Pneumatic Vacuum Conveying Sieve. Russell Finex
Overview
The Russell Compact Airswept Sieve is a pneumatic vacuum conveying sieve that screens and conveys powders in one dust-tight operation. By combining vibratory sieving with vacuum conveying in a single unit, it eliminates the need for a separate sieve and conveyor, reducing equipment, floor space, and process steps.
Powder is vacuumed through the unit while the side-mounted motor vibrates the sieve mesh. Oversize contamination is removed by the mesh and screened product is conveyed directly to the destination. The result is up to 4 times the capacity of standard vacuum conveying sieves.
Fits into any existing vacuum conveying line. Fully enclosed, dust-tight operation.

Key Features
Two Operations in One
Sieving and pneumatic conveying combined in a single unit. Eliminates the need for a separate sieve and vacuum conveyor, reducing equipment footprint and process complexity.
4× Capacity
Achieves up to four times the throughput of standard vacuum conveying sieves. Higher sieving rates from the straight-through design and side-mounted motor.
Dust-Tight Operation
Completely enclosed system prevents powder exposure during operation. Protects operators from product inhalation and keeps the product free from environmental contamination.
Drop-In Installation
Compact design fits into any existing vacuum conveying line. Can be installed in storage locations or inline between process stages with minimal headroom.
Tool-Free Maintenance
Simple strip-down and cleaning without tools. Easy-to-clean contact parts reduce downtime between product changeovers.
Automatic Loading
Suction wand draws material from a hopper, bag, or bulk storage location. Timer-controlled vacuum cycles automate the load, sieve, and discharge sequence.
Applications
- Inline screening during pneumatic powder conveying
- Pharma powder transfer with integrated safety screening
- Replacing separate sieve and vacuum conveyor setups
- Screening sensitive powders in a closed-loop system
- Integration into pharmaceutical downflow booths and containment isolators
