hdian standard TEST CODE FOR

SUG,ARCANE CRUSHERS

0. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 16 April 1973, after the draft finalized by the Farm Implements and Machinery Sectional Committee had been approved by the Agricultural and Food Products Division Council.

0.2 A specification for sugarcane crushers ( IS : 1973-1961* ) was issued in 1961. While reviewing this standard, it was felt that detailed methods of routine and type testing should aiso be standardized. This test code is, therefore, being issued to serve as a guide for evaluating objectively the performance and constructional durability of sugarcane crushers. This test code is also intended to help the manufacturers in developing and the users in selecting good quality sugarcane crusher to meet their requirements.

0.3 In preparation of this standard, valuableassistance has been rendered by the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur; National Sugar Institute, Kanpur; and Indian Sugarcane Research Institute, Lucknow.

0.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied lvith, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with 1s : 2-19607. Th e number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

APPENDIX F ( Clause 9.5.1 )

DETERMINATION OF BRIX AND POL OF JUICE

F-l. BRIX DETERMINATION

F-l.1 Procedure - Mix the juice thoroughly and pass through a sieve, preferably IOfj-micron IS Sieve. Fill a vertical cylinder to overflow.

13

IS : 6997 - 1973

Allow the air to escape by standing for 20 minutes; alternatively, the air may be removed by applying vacuum. ‘Gradually lower the graduated brix spindle. Take the reading of the spindle in line with the plane surface of the liquid, after spindle becomes steady and attains the juice temperature. Also record the temperature of the juice by a thermometer.

The spindle reading at a particular temperature with spindle correction (if any) would give the brix content in juice at observed temperature.

The value thus obtained may be corrected at 20°C by the following formula:

S:o = St [ 1 + 01003 (t - 20)]

where

Sro = spindle reading at 20°C and

St = spindle reading with spindle correction at t”C.

NOTE- This formula is applicable only up to 30°C.

F-2. POL DETERMINATION

F-2.1 Procedure- Mix the juice thoroughly and pass through a sieve, preferably 106”micron IS Sieve. Fill a lOO-ml flask with juice and add about 0’6 g of dry acetate.

Place the stemless funnel over the glass cylinder and fix a cone of dry filter papeilarge enough to hold 100 ml: in the funnel. Pour the whole of the defecated solution on the cone of the dry filter paper and cover it immediately with the watch-glass. Reject the first 10 to 15 ml of the filtrate. Rinse the glass cylinder with a little quantity of filtrate and discard the solution used for rinsing. Collect the remainder of the filtrate into rinsed cylinder. Polarize the filtrate in the saccharimeter at 20°C as far as possible, using a 200-mm tube. The reading gives the polarization percent of the juice.

If the polarization is done at a temperature other than 20eC, the saccharimeter reading shall be corrected using the following formula:

sno=strl -+-woo3 (t--20)1

where

Sso = saccharimeter reading at 2O”C, and

St = saccharimeter reading at t”C.

NOTE - The formula is applicable up to 30°C.

14

lS:6997-1973

. APPENDIX G ( CZause 9.5.2 )

DETERMINATION OF MOISTURE CONTENT AND POL OF BAGASSE

G-l. MOISTURE CONTENT

G-l.1 Procedure -Take 100 g of the bagasse in weighed tray or basket, perforated on all sides. Dry in a suitable oven at about 110°C temperature. The loss in weight gives moisture percent bagasse.

G-2. POL DETERMINATION

G-2.1 Procedure-One kilogram of bagasse should be gently boiled for OX hour under reflux with ten times its quantity of water. One gram of sodium carbonate per litre of water should be added in order to prevent inversion. The extract is clarified with anhydrous lead acetate. Filter rhe clarified extract and polarize the filtrate in the saccharimeter at ZO*C a.; far as possible using 400-mm tub?. After taking into account the moisture content in bagasse and the polarization in the 400-mm tube, the 1~1 percent in b:~ga~e mav be calculated by the following formula:

26 P ( IV1 + TV,) Pal pcrrent in bagasse = -~~ ~~~

200 x ll’;i~

P = polarization in 400-mm tube,

II’, = weight of water taken,

11’2 = tvcight of water in bagasse, and

It’s = weight of bagassr.
