Successful retrofit of a C-bar C centripetal screen basket allowed a permanent shutdown of a screening machine

UPM's Chapelle Darblay mill in Grand Couronne, France has recently successfully retrofitted and started-up a Voith Paper C-bar C screen basket in an existing Kadant-Lamort SPN 15 screening machine.

The extra screening capacity allowed the permanent shutdown of one of the two parallel SPN 15 screens (a saving of approximately 560 MWh/a or more than 30,000 €/a).

The unique and reliable manufacturing concept with more open area and an optimum profile performance resulted in a higher screening capacity. Therefore, the installation of the C-bar C led to an improved sticky removal efficiency by 11 % (85 % instead of 74 %).
