Lime Slaker Grit Removal
The Grit Screen is a critical component in lime slaking systems, designed to enhance the performance and longevity of your slurry process. Installed downstream of detention or paste slakers, this vibratory screening system efficiently removes grit—unreactive particles such as uncalcined limestone or other impurities—from lime slurry. By eliminating these abrasive solids, the Grit Screen protects downstream equipment, reduces scaling in pipes, and improves the overall reactivity and purity of the slurry.
Whether you're operating in water treatment, chemical processing, or industrial manufacturing, the Carmeuse supplied Grit Screen ensures your lime slurry meets the highest standards of quality and consistency.

Features & Benefits
Features & Benefits
Features | Benefits |
---|---|
Vibratory Screening Technology | Provides precise separation of grit from slurry, improving slurry purity and reducing wear on pumps and piping. |
Customizable Mesh Sizes (16 - 60 mesh) | Tailors grit removal to your specific purity requirements—ideal for high-purity applications. |
Fine Grit Removal | For applications that require high-purity slurries, vibratory grit screens are more effective at removing finer grit, which can be controlled by the mesh size used. |
Flexible Configuration | Allows screen to be oriented in a way that suits available space for layout. |
Improved Slurry Reactivity | Removes unreactive grit that can hinder chemical performance. |
Reduces Maintenance Cost | Minimizes abrasion-related damage to downstream equipment and requires less frequent clean outs. |
Enhanced Process Efficiency | Supports consistent slurry quality, reducing downtime and improving operational reliability. |
