Proven Sugar Recovery. Reduced Water Usage. Faster Payback.

The patented Silver Weibull “False Plough Tip” design delivers superior basket scouring efficiency, ensuring maximum sugar recovery during every discharge/plough cycle.

Unlike conventional solid plough tips, which must operate approximately 2 mm clear of the basket screen to avoid damage, the Silver Weibull False Plough Tip continuously re-establishes itself using compressed sugar within the basket. This allows near-total scouring of the basket surface while maintaining safe operation.

Key Performance Advantage

Silver Weibull guarantees a maximum residual sugar mass of only 2 kg per discharge cycle.

By comparison, conventional centrifuges can leave approximately 11.7 kg of sugar in the basket per cycle when operating with a 2 mm residual layer.

This difference translates directly into:

• Increased sugar recovery
• Reduced sucrose recirculation
• Lower wash water consumption
• Reduced process load
• Lower operating costs

Significant Operational Savings

For a typical centrifugal basket size of 1565 mm x 1190 mm:

• Conventional systems may require approximately 31.6 litres of wash water per cycle
• This generates substantial volumes of diluted sucrose solution requiring reprocessing

The Silver Weibull False Plough Tip significantly reduces these losses and associated processing costs across the entire operating season.

The Result

The combination of:

• higher sugar recovery,
• lower water usage,
• reduced recirculation,
• and improved process efficiency

creates measurable financial savings and a compelling payback period for every Silver Weibull centrifuge installation.

Silver Weibull technology delivers more than performance — it delivers long-term profitability.
