Polishing of thin juice at sugar production

Polishing of thin juice

Non-sugar substances are precipitated from the raw sugar juice by adding lime milk and carbon dioxide.

These substances must be filtered out in a two-stage filtration process to protect, for example, downstream water softening systems from clogging and evaporation stations from scale buildup.

Backwash filters are particularly suitable for the second stage due to their space-saving design.

Blockage and scale buildup.

During a sugar campaign, the goal is to minimize manual intervention while ensuring reliable, uninterrupted operation. At the same time, the finest particles must be separated from the remaining medium as economically and efficiently as possible to protect downstream equipment.

Perfect filtrate quality.

LENZING OptiFil is the best solution to efficiently and, above all, cost-effectively remove fine particles.

In addition to the significant space savings compared to precoat filter systems or even filter presses, the OptiFil excels in this application thanks to both, its simplicity, with just one automatic valve per filter, and its reliability.

The solution: LENZING OptiFil

By using precision-woven stainless steel filter media with a pore size of 25 µm, the system delivers optimal filtrate quality and provides perfect protection for downstream equipment.
