DSM screens also known as sieve bends or rundown screens, are wedge wire curved panels.
The curved screens enhance the screening process through gravity and centrifugal forces. They are primarily used for filtration, dewatering, and classification purposes in different stages of sugar production.

Focus on the following points to understand DSM screens
Product: DSM screens (sieve bend screens/static screen/DSM Sieve Bend)
Application: separation of sugar-clarified juice with bagasse.
Material: food-grade stainless steel 304, 316, 316L, and others.
Filter precision: customizable

The sugar production process involves several steps, from extraction to crystallization, each requiring the separation of liquid from solid materials or the classification of particles by size. DSM screens play a critical role in these processes by efficiently separating the sugar juice from the bagasse (the fibrous residue left after sugar cane crushing) and in the clarification and purification stages of the sugar juice itself.
The curved surface of the DSM screen allows the sugar juice to spread evenly, maximizing the contact area with the screen. As the juice flows over the screen, the finer particles pass through the screen slots into a collection trough below, while the larger particles and fibrous material (bagasse) slide off the end of the screen for further processing or disposal.
▪ Efficiency: The design of DSM screens allows for high throughput and efficient separation, which is critical in handling the large volumes of material processed in sugar factories.
▪ Energy Savings: DSM screens rely exclusively on gravity and do not require external power for the separation process, contributing to energy savings in the sugar production process.
▪ Low Maintenance: The simplicity of the design and the lack of moving parts reduce the maintenance requirements, downtime, and operational costs.
▪ Versatility: The screens can be adjusted in terms of slot size and angle, making them versatile for various stages of the sugar production process and accommodating different materials and separation requirements.
▪ Juice Extraction: Separating the juice from the crushed cane or beet in the initial stages of sugar processing.
▪ Pre-filtration: Before the juice undergoes further clarification processes, DSM screens can remove larger particles to enhance the efficiency of subsequent filtration stages.
▪ Mud Dewatering: In the sugar beet process, DSM screens are used for dewatering the beet pulp after diffusion.
▪ Wastewater Treatment: They are also used in treating wastewater generated from the sugar production process, aiding in the recovery of usable water and reducing environmental impact.
Conclusion
DSM screens are integral to the efficient operation of sugar factories. Their unique design and operational efficiency make them indispensable in sugar manufacturing, significantly contributing to energy savings, reduced maintenance costs, and improved product quality.
