Rotary Screen/ Trommel

Multitech’s Rotary Screen works on a wedge wire cylindrical drum mounted horizontally and sloped to facilitate efficient juice drainage. As the drum rotates, juice containing suspended solids enters from the drive end through a distributor. The screened juice passes through the wedge bars into a sloping half-cylinder trough, ensuring rapid flow into the juice collection tank and preventing stagnation — a key design to reduce Leuconostoc bacterial growth.

Model

Multitech Rotary Wedge Wire Screen (Trommel Type)
  • Cylindrical drum design with optimized slope toward the non-drive end.
  • Equipped with modular, replaceable wedge wire screen segments
  • Designed for efficient de-watering using smaller wedge bar openings
  • Incorporates automatic hot water cleaning system with flat cone nozzles
  • Variable configuration options for:
  • Diameter
  • Length
  • Rotational speed
  • Inclination angle

Use

The Rotary Screen is used in sugar manufacturing for continuous screening of mill raw juice. It separates fine bagacillo particles from the juice, reducing contamination and improving processing quality. Its precision design enhances juice recovery and hygiene, making it essential for efficient clarification and downstream operations.

Description

The first 30% of the screen ensures maximum juice removal, while the remaining 70% facilitates further dewatering of solids. Solid particles continue rolling and are eventually discharged at the non-drive end into the plant’s screw conveyor for onward handling.

A unique advantage of Multitech’s rotary screen is its modular segment design — if a screen segment needs replacement, it can be changed individually without replacing the entire drum, significantly reducing maintenance downtime and cost.

Key Advantages

  • Continuous and hygienic juice screening
  • Superior separation of fine bagacillo particles
  • Optimized screen slope and rotation for maximum juice recovery
  • Auto-cleaning mechanism ensures uninterrupted performance
  • Modular design enables easy screen segment replacement
  • Prevents juice stagnation and microbial contamination
