MicraScreen MS
For various separation and fractionation applications
The ANDRITZ MicraScreen is a versatile, pressure-fed bow screen
for various separation and fractionation applications in the pulp
and paper industry. It can be used for fiber recovery, thickening,
solids removal, fractionation and fiber/filler separation.

The suspension is pumped to the MicraScreen feed chamber at

0-2% consistency. It enters the screen plate tangentially at high
velocity. Injection carries the suspension across the curved screen
surface, where it splits into filtrate and solids. Fine suspended
solids pass through the plate in the filtrate, and fibrous materials
align with the direction of injection flow on the screen plate.

Benefits

various pulp and paper applications
ƒƒ Simple, reliable operation
ƒƒ Automatic screen plate washing
and feed slice flushing
ƒƒ Compact, closed design
ƒƒ Wide screen plate selection
ƒƒ Pressurized feed – high capacity
