Applications of RHEWUM Screening Machines

Soda Ash, Sodium Carbonate
is an important additive in glass production as well as in the production of detergents and whiteners. In the glass production process soda ash is mixed with glass and melted on. The soda ash is acting as flux melting agent which reduces the melting point of the quartz powder (to approx. 850°C). When bleaching with soda the soda is dissolved after drying and screening. In the last step of neutralisation in bleaching of cotton the acid carry-over is absorbed by soda solution. In modern detergents soda is contained only indirectly as regulator for foam formation (curd soaps).
Typically the screening task is to remove dust from the final soda product. The screening process mostly proceeds in a grain size range between 0.1 mm and 1.15 mm. The feed rates change between 5 t/h and 75 t/h per screening machine. Besides the product screening protection screening before packaging of the final sales products is part of the process. The possibly generated soda agglomerates are removed reliably by screening between 1 mm and 4 mm.
