Abstract
Sugar producers are looking to improve the efficiency of the centrifugals in their process. ANDRITZ was asked whether the efficiency of the batch centrifugal basket could be improved, so that when batch baskets are replaced, a process efficiency could be achieved. We used in house engineering and filtration expertise to develop a replacement batch centerfugal basket that offers shorter cycle times, increased sugar output per cycle, improvement in sugar moisture and longer life of wedge wire inner screens in a lighter, long-life basket that delivered better efficiencies and met the expectations of the sugar producers.
