Planting & Harvesting
Planting & Harvesting•Sugarcane requires an average
temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit (23.9 degrees Celsius)
•Grown in tropical or subtropical areas•seven months to mature in a tropical area
and about 12-22 months in a subtropical area.
Preparation & Processing
Preparation & ProcessingThe harvested cane are loaded onto trucks,
trolleysweighed and then unloaded onto cane carriers
Juice Extraction Processing• Two to five heavily grooved
crusher roller break the cane.
• Revolving knives, cut the stalks into chips.
• crushing the stalks between the heavy and grooved metal rollers to separate the fiber (biogases) from the juice
Juice Extraction Processing• hot water is sprayed
onto the crushed cane counter as it leaves each mill for diluting.
• This extracted juice, called raw juice,
• It contains 95 percent sucrose present.
Purification, Clarification & Evaporation
Clarification process is designed to remove both soluble and insoluble impurities.
Lime and heat are used as clarifying agents. Milk of lime neutralizes the natural acidity of
the juice Heating lime juice to boiling coagulates the
albumin.
Purification, Clarification & Evaporation
The fats, waxes, and gums, with the precipitate formed entraps suspended solids as well as the miniature particles.
About two-thirds of the water is removed from the juice through vacuum evaporation.
The vapor passing from various cells finally goes to condenser. The syrup, which continuously leaves the last evaporator, comprises 65 percent solids and 35 percent water.
Purification, Clarification & Evaporation
Crystallization, Clarification & Evaporation
The syrup is evaporated in a single-stage vacuum pan to enable maximum sugar saturation and crystallization.
As the saturation point is crossed, small grains of sugar are added to the pan
The seed sugar serves as nuclei for the formation of sugar crystals.
Crystallization, Clarification & Evaporation
Crystallization, Clarification & Evaporation
The crystals formation continues until the pan is full.
Once sucrose concentration reaches the desired level, the dense mixture comprising syrup and sugar crystals is discharged into large crystallizers.
Sugar crystal formation continues till the massecuite is slowly stirred and cooled.
Crystallization, Clarification & Evaporation
Centrifugaling
Massecuite from the mixers then flows into centrifugals
Molasses syrup is separated from the raw sugar by centrifugal force.
The final molasses is containing◦ sucrose, ◦ organic non-sugars,◦ ash, and water
Centrifugaling
The final molasses is sent to large storage tanks.
Once the sugar is centrifuged, it is "cut down" and sent to a granulator for drying.
Centrifugaling
Drying and Packaging
Damp sugar crystals are tumble dried through heated air in a granulator.
The dry sugar crystals are then sorted by size through vibrating screens and placed into storage bins.
Sugar is then sent to be packed◦ The familiar packaging that we see in grocery
stores◦ bulk packaging◦ liquid form for industrial use
