TEKLEEN® automatic, self-cleaning liquid filters offer a unique and innovative solution to filtration and screening problems in the sugar industry. They drastically reduce the time required to clean pipes, vessels, heat exchangers, evaporators, and screens.
TEKLEEN® filters are virtually maintenance free. They filter syrup or juice through a triple-layered stainless steel mesh screen. Liquids up to 76ºBx can be filtered at a maximum pressure of 15 bar and at temperatures of over 100ºC without ever plugging the screen. Depending on suspended solids content, single filters can handle up to 200 gpm (50m3/h). Filters installed in parallel function fully at even greater flow rates -- in fact, unlimited flow rates. Filtration ranges from 10µ to 400µ.
TEKRINSE®, a new screen cleaning technology, saves up to 95% of rinse water compared to previously run models. Automatic Filters, Inc., the manufacturer of TEKLEEN® filters, offers a wide range of competitively priced stainless steel filters rated to 150 psi (10 bar) and 225ºF (110ºC).
Plate evaporators are susceptible to blocking by solid particles or bagasse fibers, because of the small gaps. It is generally necessary therefore to have in-line strainers to remove these particles. Juice distributors on falling film
