FIVES CAIL beet yard and washing

Two different technical solutions which can be better adapted to the layout of the washing plant.

Solid, efficient equipment.

Reduced maintenance requirement.

BEET YARD AND WASHING

Final washing :: Scraper-feeder :: Desliming and/or washing trommel :: Stone catcher :: Weed catcher


		FINAL WASHING

A gradual revolution uniting Simplicity, Solidity, and Reduced Maintenance

FIVES CAIL developed a new drum-type finishing washer. As of this date the installations currently in service at Groningen (20,000 tons/day) and Etrepagny (15,000 tons/day) confirm the advantages of the process and the technical solutions involved.

Cleans the lateral nerve filled with earth and gives a final rinse to the beets.	Rotates the beets in thin layers during a twenty to thirty second passage through the machine.	Smooth, flexible operation, which simplifies and preserves the supporting framework.	Variable speed for better adaptation to the factory's flow rate.

Several banks of 10-bar water sprays aimed at the beet layer.	Supported and driven by inflated polyurethane tyres.	Greater likelihood of reaching the lateral nerve relative to traditional systems.	Integrated spray ramps.

Beets rub well against each other.	Well controlled passage time.	Reduced sugar loss.	Efficient cleaning.

An active contact surface composed of rubber-coated panels which promotes better resistance to abrasion and preserves the beets from damage.		Simple mechanical conception.


		SCRAPER-FEEDER

Simplicity, Robust construction and Reduced Maintenance requirement.

For installation in a dry yard, the scraper-extractor is a solid machine which has long since proved itself. It consists of a steel bottom over which the beet-conveying elements move.

	The volume flow does not vary according to the nature of the product transported.			Standard dimensions: width 1000 mm, length 4530 mm.

	Flow rate from 150 to 400 tons/hour for each machine.			Variable speed with remote control.


		DESLIMING and/or WASHING TROMMEL

Simplicity, Robust construction and Reduced Maintenance requirement. Installed in washing plants, our trommels can perform desliming, washing, or desliming-washing functions.

	Cleans the beets by stirring them efficiently without damage to the beets.	The drum is supported on and driven by either inflated polyurethane tyres or a path ring.

	Controlled passage time minimises sugar loss.	Discharge of dirty water through a spoke-pattern grid.

	The beets contact water going against the current.	Flexible, silent operation without vibration.


		STONE CATCHER

FIVES CAIL offers two types of stone catchers: the Drewboy-type stone catcher and the rotating drum stone catcher. The former functions on an independent circuit of high-density liquor, while the latter uses a flume carrying the beets in water.


		WEED CATCHER

FIVES CAIL offers two kinds of weed catchers: the vibrating weed catcher and the flume weed catcher. The former functions in a dry mode and separates weeds from the beets ballistically by means of "ski jumps" screens, while the second is mounted on a flume and picks the weeds out of the water with articulated forks.

	Reduced maintenance requirement.	Two different technical solutions which can be better adapted to the layout of the washing plant.	Solid, efficient equipment.
