Laundry for screeners sifters separators
Problem:
A. & M. Karagheusian, Inc., Albany, Georgia are the world famous makers of the Gulistan Tufted Carpet. These carpets are made of all fibers associated with floor coverings: 100% imported wool, cotton and blends of viscose and nylon. Keeping ahead of Georgia Waste Control policies, Karagheusian, Inc., wished to efficiently remove lint from their dye vat waste water. Lint and lint balls comprise 2% by volume of their dye vate waste water.

Solution:
The company installed two Sweco separators (48" diameter) together with 40 mesh, .0150" opening, screen cloth in each. Both of these units are made of stainless steel with teflon gaskets on the tension rings.
