Working screens for a continuous centrifuge are a critical item in the crystaRization process. For this reason it is remarkable that screens do not get the attention which they deserve. Most of the process engineers are not aware of the different screens available and let chances to optimize their process go unused.The choice of the correct screen depends on the goal a factory wants to achieve. This subject is extended discussed. Conventional/standard chrome plated nickel screens are used for normal application. VecoFlux screens for higher throughput and Ior finer sugar crystal retention and VecoLifefor a longer life and therefore lower operational cost.The newest generation of VecoFlux Special screens are developed in close cooperation with customers like Suikerunie, who are using these screens for several years now and are very satisfied with the results. This joint development took 6 years because screens were analyzed after operating a full campaign and improvements were made based on the results of the final molasses purity and the wear of the screens.
