Case Study: Optimizing Calcium Carbonate Sieving with Sivtek Roto Sifter 1350

Overview

A prominent calcium carbonate manufacturer specialising in hydrated lime powder encountered difficulties in efficient sieving and maintaining consistent product quality. Their current configuration suffered from capacity limits and sharp separation issues, which resulted in production inefficiency. The introduction of the Sivtek Roto Sifter 1350 maximized the efficiency and quality of their operations.

Requirements & Challenges

The client’s requirements included:

• High throughput: The requirement to carry out a high throughput of calcium carbonate at the highest rate of the RS 1350.
• Highly consistent particle size: Uniform particle size to maintain standards for quality.
• Minimal downtime: Reliable operation with minimal maintenance to avoid production delays.
• Dust control: Effective containment of fine particles to maintain a clean and safe working environment.

Challenges Faced by the Client

• Capacity Constraints:
  The previous system could not handle the necessary volume efficiently, leading to production delays.
• Inconsistent Product Quality:
  Differences in particle size resulted in lower product quality, which impacted client satisfaction and compliance with market standards.
• Frequent Downtime:
  Frequent mechanical breakdowns of plants and high maintenance demands reduced operational prosperity.
• Production Inefficiencies:
  Less efficient sieving processes resulted in wastages and increased operational costs.
