Sugar Centrifuge Screen is used for separating sugar crystals from molasses in batch and continuous centrifuges with fine chromium-plated nickel working screens over a stainless backing screen. ICUMSA is the reference cited for it on drawings, datasheets and purchase orders.
What ICUMSA Means for Sugar Centrifuge Screen
The dimensions in the table below are supplied to suit ICUMSA. Where the standard sets requirements for the finished appliance, device or system, compliance testing of that assembly stays with its manufacturer; we supply the metal mesh part to the drawing and can provide material certificates and dimensional reports with the shipment.

Specifying Sugar Centrifuge Screen Beyond the Standard
- Slot or hole: 0.06–0.09 mm to suit crystal size.
- Hard plating: Chromium plating extends wear life against abrasive crystals.
- Backing screen: A coarse stainless backing screen supports the fine working screen.
When Sugar Centrifuge Screen Is Not the Right Choice
Not for non-crystalline products.
