Directly excitated RHEWUM screens type RHEsono® will be used soon for classifying of cristal sugar in the north of Thailand.

In spring 2016, RHEWUM will supply two screening lines for the precise screening of crystal sugar to the north of Thailand. Both lines will consist of one vibrating feeder type RHEmid 200 and a directly excited screening machine type RHEsono® 220x269/2. The very reliably operating RHEmid feeder ensures that the feed rate of 40 t/h (44 STPH) per line is fed equally over the whole width of the RHEsono® screening machine. This homogeneous distribution is a basic requirement for an effective classification process. The crystal sugar of particle size 0 to 1 mm (0 - 0.039'' / 0 - 18 mesh) will be screened on two screen decks. Electromagnetic vibrating heads are directly generating the vibration of the screen mesh. The machine housing itself is static. This special RHEWUM drive system guarantees optimum screening results and additionally allows a very fine tuning of the cleaning process of the screen mesh. The target of the screening process in this case is the production of the grain fraction 0.4 to 0.8 mm (0.016'' - 0.031'' / approx. 45 mesh - approx. 20 mesh). Coarse particles and lumps > 0.8 mm (0.031'' / approx. 20 mesh) are separated as well as fine particles and dust < 0.4 mm (0.016'' / approx. 45 mesh).

“As an internationally active specialist for high-performance screening technology, we are naturally very happy about the order and the confidence of Balmac Co. Ltd. and Erawan Sugar Company in our technology,” says Thorsten Middelhof, sales manager responsible for Thailand. “At the same time, it is a proof for the right strategy to serve the market in Thailand with a local representative.” Erawan Sugar Company Ltd. operates various plants for the production of raw and crystal sugar in Thailand. The new plant in Nong Bua Lamphu was planned by Balmac Co. Ltd. with technical support of SuTech Engineering Co. Ltd. The start-up of the plant is foreseen for mid-2016.
