SILVER ENGINEERING WORKS RT4 DIFFUSER

THE SILVER RT4 IS A HIGH-CAPACITY, CONTINUOUS COUNTER-CURRENT DIFFUSER DESIGNED FOR THE EXTRACTION OF SUCROSE FROM SUGAR BEET COSSETTES ON AN INDUSTRIAL SCALE. RECENTLY UPGRADED TO A FULL STAINLESS STEEL SHELL, FEATURING A VESSEL WITH A 5600 MM INTERNAL DIAMETER, IT IS CAPABLE OF PROCESSING AROUND 5000 METRIC TONS OF BEETS PER DAY. THE EXTRACTION PROCESS IS DRIVEN BY TWO MAIN 100 HP MOTORS POWERING A ROTATING BED, ALLOWING BEETS TO MOVE STEADILY THROUGH THE VESSEL WHILE PROCESS JUICE IS CIRCULATED IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION TO MAXIMIZE SUGAR YIELD. A VARIABLE-SPEED DISCHARGE CONVEYOR, OPERATED BY A 40 HP HYDRAULIC MOTOR AND A 50 HP HYDRAULIC POWER UNIT, ENABLES PRECISE CONTROL OF THE MATERIAL’S RESIDENCE TIME AND THE DIFFUSER’S DISCHARGE RATE. TO MANAGE FOAM AND AIR ENTRAINMENT WITHIN THE PROCESS, THREE DEDICATED FOAM BREAKER MOTORS, EACH RATED AT 7.5 HP, ARE INSTALLED AT STRATEGIC LOCATIONS ON THE DIFFUSER. KEY UTILITY CONNECTIONS INCLUDE A 4-INCH, 150-LB FLANGED INLET FOR LOW-PRESSURE STEAM, 10-INCH, 150-LB FLANGED INLETS FOR BOTH FRESH AND PRESS WATER, AND A 2-INCH NPT FORMALDEHYDE INLET FOR OPTIONAL MICROBIAL CONTROL. THE VESSEL ALSO FEATURES A 4-INCH, 150-LB FLANGED DISCHARGE DRAIN AND MULTIPLE INTERFACE FLANGES FOR INTEGRATION WITH SITE-SPECIFIC JUICE TANKS, PUMPS, AND MANIFOLDS. THE SILVER RT4 IS ENGINEERED TO ENSURE RELIABLE, EFFICIENT SUGAR EXTRACTION WITH ROBUST MECHANICAL DRIVES, HIGH-THROUGHPUT CAPABILITY, AND FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION FOR INTEGRATION INTO A BROAD RANGE OF FACTORY CONFIGURATIONS.
