A Custom Solution for Reliable Material Screening

The Challenge

A FTSE 100 leader in paper-based packaging was facing frequent breakdowns of their ageing screen system due to clogging and blockages. This critical system, essential for filtering and separating materials during production, was causing costly downtime and operational inefficiencies.

The Solution


Our solution was to install a new purpose-built design using pumps built for low suction. This design included stainless steel benching which reduces the build-up of debris.

Technical Implementation:

We used two Hidrostal wet well immersible screw centrifugal pumps suitable for fixed or variable speed operation. The motors have oil filled cooling jackets to allow continuous operation whether submerged or not.

  • Pump Duty: 45 l/s @ 18.2m
  • Impeller Free Passage: 100mm
  • Motor: 15kW immersible with over-temperature protection
  • Sensor: to detect water in the cooling/seal chamber
  • Materials: Stainless steel guiderails, lifting chains, and benching for durability and easy maintenance.

Our engineering team also incorporated adjustable level controllers for precise operation and ensured seamless integration with the existing system.
