High-Efficiency Rotary Juice Screens for Sugar Mills
Optimize your sugar extraction process with our heavy-duty rotary drum screens. Designed to handle high-volume mixed juice while effectively removing bagacillo to protect downstream clarifiers.
The Ultimate Bagacillo Separation Solution
In a sugar mill, the efficiency of juice clarification depends on the effective removal of fine bagasse (bagacillo). Our Rotary Juice Screen utilizes advanced wedge wire drum technology to provide a continuous, self-cleaning filtration process.
By replacing stationary screens with our rotary system, mills can achieve a higher juice recovery rate, reduce maintenance downtime, and ensure cleaner juice for the evaporation stage.
Advanced Features
Self-Cleaning Design
Continuous rotation and internal/external spray bars prevent clogging, ensuring 24/7 operation during the crushing season.
High Throughput
Made from high-grade SS304 or SS316L to withstand the acidic nature of raw sugar cane juice.
Corrosion Resistant
Slot tolerances are strictly controlled to ensure consistent filtration accuracy.
Process Integration
Stage 1: Juice Intake
Juice Intake: Raw mixed juice from the mill tandem enters the rotating drum.
Stage 2: Separation
Liquid passes through the wedge wire slots, while fibers (bagacillo) are retained on the surface.
Stage 3: Fiber Discharge
Rotating action and internal screw flights move solids to the discharge end for recycling to the bagasse carrier.

Why Choose Our Wedge Wire Drums?
Our rotary screens feature precision-welded V-wire profiles. Unlike woven mesh, our wedge wire is structurally rigid and provides a perfectly smooth surface. This minimizes friction and wear from abrasive cane fibers, extending the life of your equipment by years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most sugar mills find that 0.35mm to 0.5mm slots provide the best balance between fiber removal and juice flow.
Static screens require frequent manual cleaning and are prone to blinding. Our rotary system is self-cleaning, significantly reducing labor and downtime.
Yes, our all-stainless steel construction is designed to handle the typical temperatures of mixed juice in a mill environment without thermal deformation.
