Sugar Industry (Cane / Beet)

Wedge wire is used in many areas in the separation, screening, filtering, and grading of liquid/solids within Sugar plants.

Whether it be Cane Sugar or beet Sugar there are many areas where wedge wire screens are being used as the main filtering media for the separation of solids from liquids. 

From design to manufacture

Rotary Trommel screens (Cane)

Wedge Wire Trommel are now widely used in many sugar 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. 

Raw/Mixed Juice

General slots range from 0.50mm to 0.80mm with standard wires. Robust structure designed for increased torque and strength.

 

Clarified/Decanter

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.
