Crushing/Milling
This process breaks the sugar cane apart releasing the raw juice from the fibers.
Clarification
Having extracted the raw juice, impurities like fibers, mud, rocks, sand and minerals need to be removed from the juice.
Evaporators
Clean juice moves through multiple evaporators heated by exhaust steam until it becomes syrup at 65%-70% solid content.
Vacuum Pans / Crystallization
Sugar syrup is crystallized by further boiling and seeding till specified crystal size is reached.
Centrifuge / Molasses
Syrup/Massecuitte is separated into wet sugar crystals and molasses by spinning them in a centrifuge.
Drying / Storage
The wet sugar crystals are dried in hot air dryers to prepare them for storage and bagging
Power Plant
Bagasse, coal and gas is used to make steam and electricity for the sugar factory.
