Vibrating Screen Machines for Sugar Syrup Screening at Zimbabwe Sugar Mill

📍 Zimbabwe · 🍬 Sugar Manufacturing · 📦 Vibrating Screen Machine

 
Professional technical advice and flexible solution adjustment help clients align equipment with their existing process design. This case from a Zimbabwean sugar mill shows how we shared industry experience and finally delivered a fit-for-purpose screening solution matching the client’s budget and process requirements.

Client’s Project Requirements

 
The client operates a sugar manufacturing plant in Zimbabwe. They had a mature process design in place and specifically required a vibrating screen for their syrup production line.

Core Demands

  • Material: Sugar syrup, 65°Brix, 80–85°C operating temperature
  • Required capacity: 100 tons per hour
  • Screening precision: 100 mesh
  • Application: Installed after the Talo clarifier to remove residual suspended solids (30–50 ppm in liquid)

Our Technical Advice & Solution Adjustment

Professional Process Recommendation

 
Based on long-term supply experience in the sugar industry, we first provided objective technical insights:
 
Since syrup features both high viscosity and high concentration, pressure-driven filtration is needed to achieve sufficient separation efficiency. For this scenario, bag filters or a combination of self-cleaning filters + bag filters are the conventional, higher-efficiency solution. Vibrating screens deliver relatively low efficiency when handling viscous, concentrated materials.

Solution Iteration to Match Budget

 
The client confirmed they had their own established process design and still decided to proceed with a vibrating screen.
 
To handle the 100 t/h large capacity reliably, we initially recommended a linear vibrating screen as a performance-first conservative option. The client, however, noted this solution exceeded their budget.
After the client updated their requirements, we finalized the optimized configuration:
 
2 units of Model 2000 single-deck circular vibrating screen machine, SS304 stainless steel
  • Power supply: 550V, 50Hz, 3-phase
  • Screening mesh: 100 mesh
  • Spare parts: 10 pieces of spare screen meshes
  • Function: Removes 30–50 ppm suspended solids downstream of the Talo clarifier

Project Outcome

The two Model 2000 vibrating screen machines have been successfully delivered and installed on site. During after-sales follow-up, the client shared on-site installation photos, confirming the equipment fits perfectly into their production line and matches their process layout.

Full Project Workflow

  1. Client submits sugar syrup screening requirements and specifies a vibrating screen solution
  2. We share sugar industry process experience and recommend more efficient pressure filtration alternatives
  3. Propose linear vibrating screen for high capacity, then adjust the plan according to the client’s budget
  4. Finalize 2 units of Model 2000 SS304 Vibrating Screen Machines with spare meshes
  5. Deliver equipment and receive on-site installation feedback via after-sales follow-up
 
If you need screening or filtration equipment for sugar production or other high-viscosity liquid processing, we can provide both professional process advice and customized equipment solutions tailored to your actual working conditions.
