Centrifugal Screens In Sugar Mill

Sugar production is a complex process that involves a number of steps, from harvesting the sugarcane to refining the raw sugar into a finished product. In beet or cane sugar mills as well as in raw sugar refineries filtration is one of the core processes in order to produce high quality and achieve best possible yields from the raw product.

Two crucial types of filters employed in sugar production are Centrifuge Basket Screens and Bag Filters.

Centrifuge Basket Screens:

In sugar mills, Centrifuge Basket Screens play a pivotal role in separating sugar crystals from molasses, the commercial form of sugar. These centrifuge screens feature precision conical and round hole perforations, ensuring enhanced crystal retention, higher purity sugar, and quicker purging. 

Unlike conventional screens, Centrifuge Basket Screens are designed to handle higher flow rates of liquid slurries efficiently. They are heat-treated for flexibility and durability, resisting wear and tear and minimizing maintenance costs. These attributes make them indispensable for optimal sugar processing, contributing to reliable performance and profitability.

Bag Filters:

Bag Filters offer several advantages in sugar production, including emission control, lower initial costs, simplified operation, and reduced energy consumption. 

They find diverse applications in:

• Remelting of raw sugar
• Filtration and polishing of thin juice
• Filtration of thick juice and standard liquor
• Polishing of molasses to protect chromatography
• Filtration of condensate and various types of water

Their versatility and efficiency make Bag Filters essential for maintaining operational efficiency and meeting regulatory standards in sugar mills.
