Sugar Centrifugal Screens, Conical Slot Screens, Round Hole Screens
Batch Centrifugal Machines
Ferguson Perforating Centrifugal Screens for batch machines all with lock lap joints.
Conical Slot Screens
| Slot Width | Inside: | 0,28mm |
| Outside: | 0,40mm |
Open Area 24% / 26%
| Material | 1. Copper up to 914 wide |
| 2. Stainless steel - all sizes | |
| 3. Brass - all sizes |
Advantages over round hole screens
Greater percentages of open area of 25% compared with 17%.
Conical slots prevent clogging of the holes by deposits of sugar because of the greater open area on the outside of the screen.
These screens will retain more small grains with less “smear” than a round hole screen.
Faster purging and lower purity molasses.
Round Hole Screens
Hole Size 0,50mm
Open Area 17%
| Material | 1. Brass - all sizes |
| 2. Stainless steel - all sizes |
All screens are fitted as rolled in the container.
Continuous Centrifugals
Stork Veco for electroformed nickel continuous centrifuge screens.
Three screen types are available:
VecoStandard for normal applications
VecoFlux for higher retention throughput and / or finer sugar crystal retention
The electroforming process imparts a mirror-smooth surface, without any burrs or bumps. The conical hole shape reduces binding and clogging. All screens are made so that the length of the slot is radially aligned in multiple arc segments. This ensures a maximum crystal separation efficiency.
