Cutting water treatment costs with Virto-Cuccolini vibrating sieves
Virto-Cuccolini’s sieves improve water filtration efficiency in the Produce industry, particularly in the processing of harvested fruits and vegetables, in which water assumes a vital role in rinsing the product, facilitating its handling, peeling, and cutting.
Throughout the process, water progressively accumulates impurities and remnants of the product, such as peels, starches, and pulp fragments, thereby presenting challenges in water management prior to treatment by the purifier and subsequent reintroduction into the production cycle.
The separation of solid parts from the water before treatment simplifies the entire process, rendering it more operationally efficient and cost-effective.
To attain this objective, it is imperative to use a filter capable of capturing very small solid particles (ranging from 0.5 mm to a few microns). This includes starch, which, under certain circumstances, can give rise to foams that pose challenges in disposal.
In this specific context, the Virto-Cuccolini vibrating sieves assume a key role in the solid-liquid separation phase within an aqueous environment: they facilitate the efficient extraction of solid particles from the rinse water. This approach optimizes the processing workflow and significantly diminishes the overall expenditures associated with water purification treatment.
Virto-Cuccolini provides a full range of vibrating screens specifically made for managing liquids in the food industry. Additionally, the Aftermarket Division, offering spare parts, training, and assistance services, provides the necessary support to uphold optimal performance throughout the entire operational lifespan of each vibrating screen.
