KASON BLOG

Kason was thrilled to have been part of the official opening of the new AHS-AMP facility in Darwen, Lancashire last week. We were delighted to show our guests the 60,000 sq ft facility, which includes manufacturing space, a fully contained test bay and modern offices, as well as provide them with a guided tour.

Durable mixers and blenders don’t always need to be pricey.

To maintain a competitive edge in the material processing industry, partnering with a supplier who provides three key benefits – a good price on equipment, long-lasting performance, and fast lead times – is essential.

Background and history

When exploring the available fluid bed options, the first consideration should be its shape. Should you go with a traditional rectangular fluid bed or a more modern circular design?

Quality and efficiency are paramount in the highly competitive coffee industry. Any process improvement that can help increase product purity, reduce downtime and streamline operations is essential for staying ahead of the competition and ensuring long-term success.

VIBROSCREEN Circular Vibratory Screeners efficientlyscreen, separate, and dewater bulk solids on a batch or continuous basis. While standard high-performance circular vibrating separatorsareavailable for shipment in as little as six weeks, circular screenersare fully customizable to meetunique and challenging processing needs. One such custom option is Kason’s innovative gap-freedesign, which drastically reduces contamination and prevents material buildup.

Gap-free circular vibratory separators feature an external, interlocking flange configuration between screen frames, secured by quick-disconnect clamps. The support ring of the internal screen is fully enveloped and allows the screen’s wire mesh to extend to the interior walls of the frame, removing the gap between the screen ring and the frame wall. (In conventional screeners, this is where material tends to accumulate.) This is especially useful in powder processing and applications with stringent sanitary requirements.

Kascade Screening Decks for New and Existing Circular Vibratory Screeners

Kason’s high-capacity Kascade screening deck is a low-maintenance choice to boost screening capacity for new circular vibratory screeners, but did you know that the Kascade is also part of Kason’s extensive range of high-performance spare parts for vibrating sifters? It can be used in solids/solids separation (e.g., applications that call for the removal of fines in materials like plastic pellets, cereal, pet food, fertilizer, salt, sugar, etc.), as well as liquid/solids separation (e.g., dewatering high volumes of solids).

In solids-solids separation applications that call for careful material handling and the removal of fines, circular vibratory screeners equipped with Kascade 360˚ cascade screening decks effectively classify materials while removing fines. Once installed, the Kascade also requires minimal maintenance to remain in good operating condition. It can be quickly and easily disassembled for thorough wash-down between production runs, increasing productivity while reducing labor requirements and cost-prohibitive downtime.

High-Capacity, Small-Footprint Screening

The Kascade screening deck for circular vibrating separators is designed to maximize screening throughput. This feature can be especially beneficial in solids-solids separation and dewatering applications where floorspace restrictions apply. Compared to standard circular vibrating sifters of equivalent diameters, Kason VIBROSCREEN Circular Vibratory Screeners with Kascade decks can increase screening capacity by 60-160%.
