Screening Media in Sugar Different Wedge Wire Types and Functions

 Sugar production is a complex process that involves multiple stages to extract sugar from raw materials. One crucial stage is screening, which involves removing impurities and foreign matter from the raw juice.

The screening process helps to improve the efficiency and quality of sugar production.

Several types of screening media are used in the sugar industry, each with its specific purpose and function.

1.Wire mesh screens

Wire mesh screens are the sugar industry's most commonly used type of screening media. They consist of a metal wire mesh that is stretched over a frame. The wire mesh has small openings that allow juice to pass through, but trap larger impurities such as sticks, leaves, and stones. Wire mesh screens are durable, long-lasting, and easy to maintain, making them a popular choice for many sugar producers.

2. Perforated screens

Perforated screens are similar to wire mesh screens, but they have small holes punched into the metal surface instead of a mesh. Perforated screens offer a higher level of accuracy in terms of particle size separation compared to wire mesh screens. They are also less prone to clogging, making them a more efficient screening solution.

3. Wedge wire screens 

Wedge wire screens consist of a series of parallel metal wires that are welded together at each intersection. The space between the wires forms a continuous slot that allows juice to pass through while trapping larger impurities. Wedge wire screens are typically more expensive than wire mesh or perforated screens, but they offer a higher level of accuracy and a longer lifespan.

4. Drum screens 

Drum screens are cylindrical screens that rotate around a central axis. They use centrifugal force to separate impurities from the raw juice. Drum screens are highly effective in removing large impurities, and they are typically used in the early stages of the sugar production process.

5. Vibrating Screens 

Vibrating Screens are another type of screening media used in the sugar industry. They consist of a metal or polyurethane screen that is mounted on a frame and vibrates to separate impurities from the raw juice. Vibrating screens are highly effective in removing smaller impurities and can be used in combination with other types of screening media to achieve the desired level of purity.

In conclusion, the various types of screening media used in the sugar industry play a critical role in the production of high-quality sugar. 

By removing impurities and foreign matter, screening helps to improve the efficiency and quality of the sugar production process. The type of screening media used will depend on the specific requirements of each sugar producer and the stage of the production process.

The Difference Between Wedge Wire Screen and Perforated Screen

 Wedge Wire Screens and Perforated Screens are two commonly used types of screening media in various industries. 

They have different structures, design characteristics, and uses.

Wedge Wire Screens

Wedge wire screens, also known as profile wire screens, consist of a series of shaped wires known as profiles that are welded onto support rods. This produces a slot opening that can be adjusted according to the needs of the application.

Advantages:

Non-Clogging: The V-shaped wire design ensures non-clogging operation, which is crucial for applications involving liquids and fine particles.

High Strength: The welding process provides high strength and rigidity.

Customizable: The slot size, wire shape, and rod spacing can be customized according to application needs.

High Open Area: They often provide a higher open area compared to perforated screens, which can result in higher flow rates.

Perforated Screens

Perforated screens are sheets of material such as steel, stainless steel, or plastic that have been punched with holes in a pattern or in a specific arrangement.

Advantages:

Versatile: They can be used in a diverse range of applications due to the wide variety of hole sizes, shapes, and patterns available.

Durability: Depending on the material used, they can offer high durability and resistance to corrosive environments.

Economical: They are generally less expensive to manufacture than wedge wire screens.

The key differences between wedge wire screens and perforated screens:

Structure: Wedge wire screens are made of V-shaped wires welded to support rods, while perforated screens are sheets of material with holes punched in them.

Clogging: Wedge wire screens are less likely to clog due to their V-shaped wire design, while perforated screens may be more susceptible to clogging.

Customization: Wedge wire screens offer more customization options in terms of slot size and wire shape, while perforated screens offer more choices in terms of hole size and pattern.

Cost: Perforated screens are generally less expensive to manufacture than wedge wire screens.

Flow Rate: Wedge wire screens often offer higher flow rates due to their higher open area compared to perforated screens.

Remember, the decision to use a wedge wire screen or a perforated screen will depend on the specific requirements of your application.

V-Wire Screen Features

The smooth profile and enhanced strength of V-wire screens come from their design. The wire has a wedge or V-shaped profile, giving it the name of V-wire. To fashion a screen, the wire is wrapped around vertically placed support rods; each junction of the support rod and wire is then welded together to increase the strength of the resulting screen.

This is also a very versatile design; it can be fully customized for any application depending on the number and placement of the support rods and wires and the size of the openings between them.

What Shapes Can V-Wire Screens Be Adapted To?

No matter what shape your wire filtration need demands, chances are good a V-wire screen can be fabricated in the exact specifications you need. 

Many common shapes include cylindrical, sieve bend, flat panel, tubes and baskets, and others.

Can V-wire screens be used for different filtration directions?

Whether you need an inside-to-out or outside-to-in direction of filtration, the V-wire screen can be designed to support your specific requirements.

Custom Self-Cleaning Wedge Wire Filters

 A wedge wire self-cleaning filter is a specialized strainer made from high-quality V-shaped wedge wires and support wires. It is designed for automatic self-cleaning filter housings, effectively capturing suspended solids and particles in fluids. 

This process reduces turbidity and removes impurities, thereby enhancing water quality through continuous self-cleaning.

Wedge Wire Screen Key Features:

1. Constructed with durable materials for high pressure and corrosion resistance.

2. Uniform slot size ensures efficient filtration without clogging.

3. Offers a large filter area for optimal filtration efficiency.

Applications:

Widely used in petroleum, paper and pulp, chemical, natural gas, food, and water treatment industries.

Ideal for various applications including boiler water filtration, petrochemical water filtration, beer filtration, and more.

Oil & Gas: Completion fluid filtration.

Food: Filtration of fermentation broth, chocolate liquor, honey, etc.

Water Treatment: Filtration of surface sewage, cooling water, etc.

Working Principle

Liquid enters the self-cleaning filter and passes through the wedge wire screen, where contaminants gradually accumulate on the inner surface, causing a gradual increase in differential pressure. Once the preset pressure limit is reached, the control system initiates the self-cleaning process. 

During this process, a small portion of the filtered liquid returns to the filter body. A motor-driven brush (scraper) rotates to remove the deposited contaminants from the screen surface while a drain valve opens for discharge. The entire self-cleaning cycle typically lasts 12–18 seconds, maintaining continuous filtration with minimal flow rate fluctuation.
