Factory scale trials with laser produced stainless steel screens : Bingera mill 1987 season

Abstract

The main objective in the tests carried out at Bingera was to compare the performance of two adjacent, similar, BMA K1000 centrifugals, one of which was fitted with a new set of standard Cr-Ni screens, and the other with a set of laser cut screens manufactured by CSIRO. Initially, the screens in this latter machine comprised six stainless steel segments and two segments produced from commercially pure titanium. However, the two titanium segments tore along the trailing edges several days after installation, and were subsequently replaced with stainless steel segments.
