Screening machine for sorbitol production
Precise screening machine enhances sorbitol production for a leading sugar substitute producer from Turkey
Turkish starch industry leader chooses RHEWUM’s cutting-edge technology for sorbitol production
A leading enterprise in the Turkish starch and starch derivatives industry, with a legacy dating back to the 1980s, continues to drive innovation. Known for its unwavering commitment to advancement and diversification, this sorbitol producer from Turkey has expanded its product portfolio to cater to various sectors, including food, textiles, paper, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, personal care, and specialized industrial applications.
One of the standout products in their range is sorbitol, a low-calorie natural sweetener with a low glycemic index. In a strategic move to further enhance their sorbitol production capabilities, this Turkish enterprise recently chose RHEWUM’s cutting-edge RHEsono® screening machine, achieving an impressive throughput of 4 tons per hour with precise particle separation at less than 0.5 mm and 0.1 mm.
The RHEsono® vibrating screening machine employs a unique electromagnetic drive principle that offers unparalleled efficiency when sieving sugar substitutes like sorbitol and sugar alcohols. Its high-frequency vibration directly on the sieve mesh, coupled with automatic cleaning pulses, ensures a precise separation of fine-powdered and sticky sweeteners and sugar alcohols without clogging the sieve mesh.
Overcoming challenges in production of sugar, sweeteners sugar substitutes: RHEWUM’s expertise
Processing sugar can be a sticky situation, even with low moisture levels, which can significantly complicate the sieving process. Furthermore, irregular particle shapes can lead to agglomeration, clogging the sieve mesh and negatively impacting product quality.
RHEWUM’s RHEsono® sieving machine, engineered to accelerate sieved materials at an impressive 15g rate, efficiently separates even sticky materials, preventing screen mesh blockages. The ability to adjust cleaning pulses during the sieving process (with up to 50g) ensures automatic sieve mesh cleaning.
The sieve mesh’s inclined design facilitates sugar transport across it, while external drives allow maintenance during operation. Furthermore, the static sieve machine housing minimizes the transmission of dynamic loads to the surrounding structure, reducing energy consumption.
With RHEWUM’s reliable technology, the Turkish sorbitol producer is well-equipped to continue its journey as a leading provider of sorbitol and other starch-derived products in Turkey and beyond. This partnership represents a significant milestone in the production of low-calorie, low-GI sweeteners, meeting the growing demand for healthier alternatives in various industries.
