Wedge wire is used in many areas in the separation, screening, filtering and grading of liquid/solids within the Sugar Industry. Whether it be Cane or Beet Sugar, the wedge wire screens are the primary filtering media for the separation of solids from liquids.
Wedge Wire Trommels are now widely used in many sugar/ethanol refining factories as an important tool in the separation of solids and liquids. Mainly used in Cane Sugar factories, they can be used in multiple areas of the plant for filtering Raw/Mixed juice, Clarified Juice, and Fly Ash.
Optima produce a wide variety of Trommel screen spares with sizes and designs custom made to suit your application and machinery. Diameters ranging from 1.5m to 2.5m and lengths from 2m to 6m, we can cover a vast range of machinery in the market.

Highly efficient in filtering bagasse Raw/Mixed juice from the mill or the diffuser. Also suitable for separating the primary juice (sugar manufacturing) and secondary sieving (ethanol manufacturing).
General slots range from 0.50mm to 0.80mm with standard wires. Robust structure designed for increased torque and strength.
Trommel screen intended for the broth cleaning from the decanter, with high retention of the non-decanted residues.
For this application screens are used with openings up to 100 microns (150 mesh) and all equipment must ideally be closed to maintain the juice temperature and improve retention efficiency. General Slots range from 0.10mm to 0.25mm with standard wires or ultra-fine wires for more open area.
Available in Standard or Robust designs
Trommel screens developed specifically for the water filtration of the incoming water from the gas scrubbers of the boiler. This water can be returned to the system with the solids used as a fertilizer and spread back on to the land. General slots range from 0.50mm to 0.80mm using standard wires.
This would generally be a robust structure designed for increased torque and strength.
