World’s largest manufacturer of high quality chrome-plated electroformed nickel screens for continuous centrifuges
sugar screens
Veco is the original developer and the world’s largest manufacturer of high-quality chromeplated electroformed nickel screens for continuous
centrifuges. Working for many decades with the largest sugar production companies and leading sugar machine manufacturers, Veco provides the
industry with an extensive program for high-quality sugar screens.
Sugar screens function in the filtration process in sugar production. Specifically, a centrifugal sugar screen is used to rapidly remove molasses
from sugar crystals under centrifugal force. The performance of a sugar screen directly influences the efficiency of the centrifugal machine and in the
end sugar production.
Veco Standard
The Veco Standard sugar screen is an electroformed pure nickel filtration screen with mirror smooth working surface, no burrs or bumps. Chrome plating guarantees a longer lifetime and enables a soft travel of sugar crystal with less break-up. Slot arrangements are radially aligned in multiple arc segments to suit the travel direction of sugar crystals to obtain optimum purity value at maximum capacity. Its special conical hole shape further reduces blinding and clogging.
Veco Flux-Special
The Veco Flux-Special screens have the highest open area and the new design of the slotted areas has increased the lifetime of the VecoFlux range even further. VecoFlux-Special screens can be used with 0.09mm or 0.06mm slot widths to increase the centrifuge throughput up to 170% of the standard value. It can also be used, with 0.04mm slot width, in low-grade massecuite in order to capture the tiniest crystal of sugar without losing throughput. This results in lower final molasses purity of up to 2 points, with obvious financial savings.
Veco Life
The Veco Life screen can last considerably longer than standard screens. The increase in thickness substantially reduces the deformation of the electroformed nickel screen into the support coarse wire screen. This deformation is the main cause of the chrome-plating layer becoming damaged. With substantial increase in thickness, Veco Life lasts up to twice as long as a standard screen.
