The invention relates to the technical field of
sugar industry, and discloses a worm type
sedimentation system which comprises a settler
barrel, a negative pressure steam dispersing box, a
retarder, a worm type
backflow plate, a step-by-step thickening mud scraping mechanism, a mud collecting
barrel and an I-shaped juice outlet ring groove. Compared with an existing settler, the device is characterized in that a juice inlet buffer is arranged at the upper part of the center of a worm type
backflow plate of the settler, heated
cane juice flows out through a negative-pressure steam dispersing box, and the
cane juice enters the buffer tangentially after being added with an auxiliary agent and fully mixed, and enters a limited worm type
backflow plate along the umbrella-shaped edge of the buffer; the liquid flow gradually settles outwards along the worm type backflow plate, and mud juice generated in the
settling process is accumulated at the cone bottom; mud juice is discharged into the mud collecting
barrel through the step-by-step thickening mud scraping mechanism and flows out of the mud discharging opening. Clarified juice flows out from a juice outlet ring groove in the periphery of the worm type backflow plate. The device can reduce the
retention time of the
cane juice in the settler, and has the characteristics of less
sucrose conversion, high mud juice concentration, transparent clear juice, small equipment occupied area, large squeezing resistance fluctuation range and the like.
