Continuous Centrifugal Machines were introduced in India for the Sugar Industry from Europe & ofcourse at the heart of these machines the Nickel Screens was also imported. Manufacturing of Nickel Screens for the Sugar Industry was started with West German Know-how which eventually led to screens for the fruit juicer industry, Tobacco Industry etc.

For the Sugar Industry Micro Nickel Pvt. Ltd., manufactures these screens under the brand name of "Micro Nickel Screens" which are made of 99.8% pure imported Nickel & is subsequently hard chromium plated to 8-10 thickness to withstand abrasion.

The Process

Electroformed Nickel Screens are basically made by the deposition of Nickel on to a etched matrix of the shape of the electroform required. The matrix is made by the photographic reproduction of the screen surface, which is subsequently processed to confirm to screen mesh openings. This involves fine precision works & patience and is done expertly with experience & technological skill gained with time.

MICRO LIFE SERIES

The latest state of the ART TECHNOLOGY which gives our chromium Plated Screens higher hardness of atleast 800HV upto on 1000HV, compared to the old 700HV. This added advantage gives higher abrasion resistance

The Screens are available in all sizes required for most of the internationally reputed makes of Sugar Centrifugal Machines like Hein Lehmann, Buckau Wolf, BMA, Western States and Fives Cail etc. Screens with identical opening (No. & Pitch) can be supplied in varying thickness, dimension of holes and openscreen areas. The larger thickness, however results in smaller width of holes as well as reduced screen area.

Preferred screen type- 16/4, 33/8, 
Slot width - 0.04 to 0.12mm
Material: Soft Nickel, 2,200 N/mm, with hard chromium layer of 10 micron-14 micron and 9,000 N/mm
HV for household juice extractors.
