Equilíbrio expands the market with the arrival of rotary sieves with large capacities

Already consolidated in the Brazilian and Latin American markets with the line of rotating sieves for filtering juice in sugar cane processing, Equilíbrio has just taken a significant step by also consolidating special sieves with large operational capacities.

The largest equipment manufactured by the company already has a maximum production capacity of 900 tons/h compared to 450 to 600 tons/h, previously considered the largest. The last one produced in this category is part of the Mixed Juice Rotary Sieves line. Delivered at the beginning of the second half of 2017 for the foreign market, the purpose of the product is to filter solid/liquid waste from the mill or diffuser, separating the primary juice in the manufacture of sugar or performing secondary sieving in the manufacture of ethanol.

For Danilo Daniel Jorge, administrative manager at Equilíbrio, the greater demand for special equipment with great operational capacity is due to recent changes in the profile of the plants. “The production load of sugar-energy plants has increased and with this their need for more compact equipment, but with greater operational power”, he considered. According to the manager, the market previously did not have the technology to offer this type of equipment, making it necessary to manufacture more than one machine, generating higher costs for the plants.

Attentive to this market, Equilíbrio has structured itself, promoting significant technological advances in its rotary sieves lines. One of the improvements, according to Carlos Alberto Celeste Jorge, president of Equilíbrio, concerns the configuration of the screens with continuous grooves that integrate the sieves, which have undergone an update, allowing an increase in filtration efficiency per m3, greater durability and a lower rate of maintenance. A new study also ensured the development of lighter and more compact equipment, which had a direct impact on reducing energy consumption. “All recent investments in our processes have also contributed to reducing sieves production time by up to 25%, benefiting both the domestic and foreign markets,” he added.
