Batch and continuous BMA centrifugals

BMA has for many decades been among the world leaders in developing and manufacturing continuous and batch centrifugals for the sugar and food industries, and also for the chemical industry. Our long years of experience as developers of sugar centrifugals have allowed us to conceive a wide range of innovative solutions for batch and continuous centrifugal operation. They are also integral to concepts for other branches of industry, where they are applied with great success. Ease of installation and operation, low maintenance requirements, and excellent technological results are some of the outstanding features of our centrifugal machines.

BMA’s batch centrifugals of the ‘B’ series

Our batch machines of the ‘B’ series can handle throughputs of 1,100 to 2,200 kg of massecuite per charge. We are thus able to meet almost any of our customers’ requirements – from small to large sugar centrifugals for operation in cane or beet sugar factories, or for refineries.

Since 1947, BMA has sold more than 3,500 batch centrifugals, and among these more than 280 ‘B’-series machines. With the wide range of capacities available we can offer the perfect size of centrifugal machine for any requirement. In particular centrifugal stations with high throughput rates are able to significantly reduce their investment and maintenance costs when employing ‘B’-series BMA centrifugals.

The large number of innovative solutions and optimized concepts regarding, for instance, the

• bearings
• centrifugal basket
• centring device
• discharger
• syrup separator
• control and drive system
• control software
• TeleService feature

underline our company’s standing as a global leader in centrifugal design and manufacture. The control hardware we use for our machines is based on the Siemens S7-300 system, which is sold around the world. Control software, which we have developed for our particular needs and its perfect adaptation to different requirements, complements the hardware to produce a successful overall concept.

Continuous K3300 centrifugal

 
For continuous sugar centrifugation, be it in the cane or beet sugar industry or refineries, BMA can now offer its customers an innovative centrifugal - the continuous K3300. It can be used wherever the centrifuged sugar has to be melted or magmatised or will be subsequently processed in the dry state.

Thanks to various optional assemblies, the K3300 versions can be perfectly adapted to our customers' special needs.

Among the elements that have been further enhanced are the centrifugal basket and the Turbo-3 massecuite distributor, which permits an increased throughput especially of highly viscous massecuites. The preseparation stage near the bottom of the basket considerably improves the performance of the machine. A wedge-wire screen in the preseparation stage helps to significantly increase the service life of the screens, resulting in lower maintenance costs.

Since the shape of the machine has also been changed, the centrifugals can be installed immediately next to each other; this makes it very easy to clean the centrifugal station. The housing of the new machine is much smaller than that of its predecessor - the K2000. Benefits include reduced space requirements and quick access for machine maintenance. With a larger inspection opening in the cover, machine operators will also find it easier to inspect and clean the inside of the machine.

Automatic massecuite feed control and monitoring devices for vibration and V-belt tension are features that improve the reliability of the centrifugal and thus enhance the customer benefit.
