Circular vibrating screen system for processing polymer pellets

PINEVILLE, N.C. - July 19, 2019 - PRLog -- Lucite International Group Ltd., commonly known as Lucite, is part of the Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation and is a world leader in the design, development and manufacture of acrylic-based products. At its Newton Aycliffe, UK, production site, Lucite produces a number of speciality polymers and resins, specifically designed and developed for the unique needs of its customers.

Lucite had recently installed a new drying plant in one of its polymer bead production lines and sought an upgrade to its sieving process. The previous equipment, a traditional spring-mounted separator unit, could no longer fulfil the production capacity required on the upgraded line. Therefore, a high-performance solution was essential to meet the required throughput rates, as well as guarantee the sizing accuracy and consistency of the polymer beads.

After consultation with Russell Finex, it was decided a circular vibratory screen separator fitted with a Russell Vibrasonic® Deblinding System would be the ideal solution  for grading the polymer beads. This revolutionary circular vibrating screen system is designed to deliver high-capacity, accurate grading of up to five fractions of powders and granules in one operation, and comfortably met Lucite's required production capacity.

At Lucite's Newton Aycliffe site, the company also operates additional Russell Finex separation equipment, including several self-cleaning liquid filters to ensure the quality and consistency of liquid adhesive resins on a separate production line.

Russell Finex has provided separation solutions to the chemical industry for 85 years. Please contact Russell Finex (http://www.russellfinex.com/en/contact-russell-finex/) for more information about this application or how they can help with your specific requirements.
