Lime Mixing and Slaking Plants

Lime is a relatively low cost alkali that can be used for neutralising acid effluents or for addition to processes that need to maintain an alkaline pH.  Cocksedge systems take the commercially available forms of lime and convert them to readily useable slurry for ease of addition to your process. 

The fully automatic systems are custom designed to use the most cost-effective form of lime for the capacity you need.  This may be burnt lime (CaO) or hydrated (slaked) lime (Ca(OH)2) delivered in powder form and blown into a storage silo, or it may be lump burnt lime from a lime kiln.  We can also design systems for using
magnesium oxides and hydroxides where these offer a price or process performance advantage.

Our systems are designed to ensure uniform mixing and slaking of the lime with water and provide for removal of grit with minimum loss of lime.  Efficient mixers cut the power demand while maintaining a uniform slurry and special features permit operation at high temperatures without problems caused by vapour.

Example applications from the sugar industry:

Powdered lime systems for pH correction of beet washing water
Slaking systems for lump lime to supplement output of lime kiln
Lime mixing systems for juice clarification in cane mills
Lime slaking and saccharate mixing systems for refineries and mills
Magnesium oxide systems for improved sugar extraction
Gypsum systems for improving pressed beet pulp dry substance
