Monitor Sugar(1) (now a part of Michigan Sugar) began testing a new screen design for continuous centrifugals for Johnson Screens(2) in 2003. This novel screen is a one-piece basket built with solid stainless steel wedge-wire. The intrinsic benefit ofthis concept should be a much longer service life than the standard chrome-plated nickel screens. We chose a BMA K1100 centrifugal for our original test. This was a logical choice: Since this is one of the most common machines in use worldwide, the development efforts to build this screen would be directly applicable to a large market.
