Sugar Refinery Plant Equipment

While setting up a refinery plant for producing pure sugar there are various options which one might consider. There are various Sugar EPC Projects present in the market. The few points one needs to consider while selecting equipment for setting up a sugar refinery plants are –

What kind of raw material handling equipment is needed?

  • Grain auger: It is an equipment which is used for the process of transferring the grains or in this case sugar from the trucks, carts, or even trailers into the various storage bins initially. Such augers might be powered using an electric motor or even an internal combustion engine on certain occasions which are mounted on the auger.1
  • Grain roller mills: These are used to crush the raw crystals into small shapes and then sent to the storage bins. Such mills are present in a variety of sizes as well as capacities. In general, they range usually from two to as much as six rollers.

What kind of production equipment is needed?

  • Distillation stills: Such equipment, in general, come in a couple of varieties which are the pot still as well as the column still.
  • Transfer Pumps: In general, there are two varieties of transfer pumps which are centrifugal as well as positive displacement. Centrifugal pumps usually spin at high speeds and then transfer either centrifugal or even kinetic energy to the liquid which goes in the form of velocity as well as pressure. Positive displacement pumps in general transfer a certain amount of liquid in each of the rotation of the displacement pump. In most plants and Distilleries Manufacturer, centrifugal pumps are widely used because they are very useful in transferring liquids which do not have much solid content.

Simple Steps to Obtain Pure Sugar in a Refinery

Any refinery which is involved in the process of converting raw sugar into white refined sugar is known as a sugar refinery. Most of the sugar mills generally produce raw sugar which contains large amounts of molasses, this causes it to have a large amount of color due to the impurities as compared to the white sugar which is consumed normally in the households and also used as an essential ingredient in various food item and drinks production process. In general, the refined sugar which is produced contains more than about 99 percent pure sucrose.

Steps involved in the process of refining sugar are-

  • The first step is the process of removal of the coating of molasses as well as residual matter present on the sugar crystals. This is done by mixing the raw sugar with a hot syrup and then removing the molasses in Continuous Centrifugal Machines.
  • Then the crystals are dissolved in water and filtered to remove the large particles and the suspended solids. This creates a pure, clear and colorless syrup of water and sugar.

  • After this, the sugar syrup is concentrated by the process of evaporation and tiny crystals called seed are added during this process in order to form larger sugar crystals. Granulated form of sugar is produced by extracting the crystals from the sugar syrup by using a spinning process using machines like centrifuges.
  • After this, the sugar crystals are then washed using water, and then they are dried inside a drum and following this they are stored in large silos.
  • Finally, they are packaged in various packets. But prior to this, the sugar crystals are sieved through wire mesh which has various sized holes in order to get sugar crystals of various shapes.
