Sugar
With over 30 years of experience and installed product base in the sugar industry, Bray has specifically designed unique and innovative solutions that provide dependable and continuous service in the harshest of sugar processes.
Quality Products
The nature of sugar production and refining industry requires uninterrupted and continuous service of the plant for as much as 300 days in a year. This demanding process puts valves, actuators and controls through harsh and tough conditions. Continuous service and up-time are critical to the profitability of the plant and it is essential that those valves and actuators supplied into the sugar industry are able to successfully withstand the conditions. With over 30 years of experience and installed product base in the sugar industry, Bray has specifically designed unique and innovative solutions that provide dependable and continuous service in the harshest of sugar processes.

Valves suited for the purpose
RSBV & High Performance
Bray valve solutions such as the resilient seated butterfly valve and high performance butterfly valve have helped to increase reliability and performance in tough sugar applications with crystals such as:
Discharge pan valves
Cut over valves
Washout valves
Feed/charge valves on centrifugal
Massecuite tanks
Vacuum pans
Bray’s Series 30/31-3WQ EPDM seat butterfly valve is uniquely designed and suited for reliable performance in high temp applications up to 150C / 302F in various parts of the sugar refinery such as vacuum pans, dryers and juice heaters.
Innovative butterfly valve solutions designed specifically to sugar industry such as optimized disc to seat interference on low pressure and slurry applications allow our customers to size smaller profile actuators which help them achieve cost savings through higher service life and lower cost automation.
Bray S41R is specially designed high performance butterfly valves for the Sugar Industry. These valves are structured to handle the low pressure steam of evaporators. This valve incorporates the same proven design features of the Bray S41 but in a lighter and a more economical configuration specifically designed for the sugar industry steam services.
Segmented Control Valve
Series 19
Bray’s line of segmented control valve solutions has provided dependable performance on tough abrasive and slurry control applications such as:
Milk of lime
Raw juice feed
Decanter/rotary vacuum filter mud feed/discharge
Bidirectional & Unidirectional
Knife Gate valves
Purge ports are recommended when knife gate valves are installed in applications where product tends to dewater, solidify, or build up in the seat area. Deflection cones on knife gate valves used on centrifugal discharge help redirect flow of sugar crystals away from the seat and towards the center of bore. This extends service life of the seat and gate allowing customer uninterrupted service for the production season.
