Thickening filters
The Exofalc Choquenet candle filter is used in many industries such as the food industry (sugar refinery, cocoa, etc.), chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc.
Indeed, its simplicity of use (100% automatic) combined with a technology allowing a high concentration of sludge makes it a formidable thickening filter adaptable to many fields.
It offers high filtration rates/filtering surface ratios for a modest footprint.
A permanent visual control of the quality of the filtrate allows to react instantly in case of a punctured or clogged cloth, each ramp being individual, it can be isolated in order to maintain a high production rate.
It also has the advantage of being able to see its internal filtering surface evolve according to customer constraints without modifying its external environment.
Finally, due to its design and degree of automation, it allows increased productivity with very low operating costs.
Carbonate boilers
Choquenet offers the latest generation of carbonator boilers with richter tube technology. This innovative technology guarantees a highly efficient juice purification process in sugar industry.
A traditional boiler must have a pumping system to allow the recycling of the gas and limed juice (at least 15 times the incoming flow) in order to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
The Choquenet technology, on the other hand, makes it possible to obtain a homogeneous carbonated juice without a pumping system, but by simply injecting the CO2 internally via the richter tubes.
In addition, the permanent cleaning system of the gas injection part avoids the recurrent opening of the boilers and thus limits production stoppages.
Our technology allows a gain in productivity, a more homogeneous mixture for a better filterability, a lower consumption of reagents and thus to reduce the operating and maintenance costs.
