Steep Tanks VAT Screen

Installed near the discharge end of a steep tank, the Multitech VAT Screen allows steep water to pass through precisely spaced wedge wire slots while retaining suspended solids like corn hulls, coarse fiber, and germ fragments. The inclined orientation, combined with gravity and liquid momentum, ensures efficient screening without clogging.

Model

Multitech Steep Tank VAT Screens
  • Screen Type: Inclined wedge wire screen panel
  • Configuration: Fixed or modular curved screens
  • Slot Sizes: 0.2 mm to 1 mm, based on corn soaking characteristics
  • Materials: SS 304, SS 316, SS 316L or custom alloys
  • Support: Heavy-duty frame or mounting brackets for steep tank installation
  • Screen Area: Customizable to tank size and flow rate

Use

Steep Tank VAT Screens are used in the corn steeping section of starch production, where they serve to separate softened corn particles and fibers from steep water. Their purpose is to facilitate efficient solid-liquid separation after the corn soaking process and ensure the downstream systems receive well-clarified steep liquor.

Description

The V-shaped wedge wire construction provides a self-cleaning effect, maintaining consistent flow even under high-load conditions. Designed to fit seamlessly into existing tank systems, these screens are durable, corrosion-resistant, and require minimal maintenance.

Key Advantages:

  • Effective removal of suspended solids from steep water
  • Improves steep liquor clarity and downstream process efficiency
  • Non-clogging, self-cleaning design using wedge wire technology
  • Custom fit for any tank geometry and flow requirements
  • Constructed with long-life stainless steel materials
  • Minimal maintenance and easy retrofitting
