Sugar factories have specific screening problems : separation of solids from washing water, separation of water sticking to sand after desanding of washing water etc.

In 2000, Maguin purchased REMEX, a company specialized in screening and separation, in order to complete its portfolio of beet washing equipment by physical treatment of washing and beet transport water.

The REMEX range has been revised and the designs modernized and reinforced.

Maguin offers a complete range of ascending and descending vibrating screens to treat outputs up to 1 500 m3/h per screen.

The choice of the most suitable screen depends on the flows to be treated, the magnitude of the solid fraction in water and the fineness of the separation to be carried out. The latter can be lower than 1 mm.

These screens can be associated with dynamic separators to divide further the solids leaving the vibrating screens and to recover the tails contained in the washing water. The separated solids can, after recovery of tails, be washed, crushed and pressed and then mixed with pulp and dried. It is finally transformed into animal feed.

Maguin can also offer equipment for water separation projects for other applications outside of the sugar industry.
