High Extraction Efficiency
- Maximum percolation rates due to minimum layer depth and material compression
- Renewed percolation rates midway through extraction due to material layer reforming
- Fastest extraction due to acceptance of thinner upstream flaking
- Upward sloped layer insures countercurrent miscella flow
- 10-16 extraction stages maximizes the countercurrent effect
- Improved miscella sprayers for uniform miscella distribution
- Online adjustment of miscella staging for varying materialpercolation rates
- More tolerant of poor material percolation rates from fines or surface moisture
Low Downstream Energy Demand
- Shallow layer minimizes dripping depth and provides 26-30%
- solvent retention
- Uniform material discharge insures uniform DT steam consumption
Low Maintenance
- Chain paddles never slide on screen floor
- Material does not pass through elbow while chain rollers are turning
- Dual sided drive minimizes fatigue in housing and drive shaft
- No discharge hopper and screw to maintain
Other Advantages
- Bolted linear design allows for ease of transport
- Bolted linear design allows for minimum hot-work installation time
