Squeeze the juice, filter it, and then evaporate the water under low pressure to precipitate sugar crystals. The sugarcane sugar making process

1. Pre treatment of sugarcane before crushing. The main method of sugarcane pretreatment is to use crushing equipment to cut and tear the sugarcane, fully crushing it. The compressor then collects a large amount of sand, mud, stones, and other debris carried by the sugarcane, which needs to be washed and sand removed before crushing can be carried out
2. After the sugarcane is pressed into the compressor unit, sugar is extracted through multiple pressing and multiple infiltration, which is the main part of the entire compression section After being pressed, sugarcane juice and bagasse should be transported separately to ensure the normal operation of the pressing process The mixed juice contains a lot of sugarcane chips, which need to be separated by a stopper. The collected sugarcane chips should be sent back to the sugarcane press for processing
3. The mixed juice sent by the sugarcane juice cleaning and extraction section is a dark green turbid liquid, mainly composed of sucrose, and also contains insoluble non sugar impurities Suspended substances such as chlorophyll, sugarcane shavings, soil, and soluble non sugar impurities such as various organic salts, colloidal substances, and inorganic salts The cleaning method is generally to heat the mixed juice and add chemical agents to precipitate impurities, and then separate the precipitate to obtain a clear, transparent, and low color juice In order to achieve the maximum effect of removing non sugar substances, the precipitate should also have good precipitation and filtration properties for easy separation
4. In order to reduce the consumption of steam in the entire factory, the utilization of secondary steam is a major pathway for the evaporation of sugarcane juice, which has become the center of thermal economic research in sugar factories. However, one of the problems is The potential of the secondary steam evaporated from sugarcane juice can be used not only for the next heating, but also for other equipment. It can also be extracted and compressed to increase pressure as the heating steam for the first effect evaporation tank The secondary steam extracted from the evaporator and used for other equipment is usually drawn out through the pipeline of the secondary steam, but it can also be drawn out from the steam drum of the next effect, which can increase the flow rate of steam in the steam drum and fully eliminate non condensable gases, thus increasing the evaporation energy of the next release
5. The crystalline clear juice of sucrose is evaporated and concentrated to form a syrup with a strength of 60-65B and a temperature of around 60 ℃, which is called crude syrup Further concentration is necessary to precipitate crystals Boiled crystals The mixture with molasses is called syrup After the sugar paste is removed, it is cooled down to allow the precipitation of sucrose to be more complete, and to continue the growth of the original and crystals. This process is called crystallization assistance After crystallization, the sugar paste is separated from the sugar syrup by a high-speed rotary centrifuge. The separated white sugar is then dried and sieved to obtain a certain specification of product, which becomes the finished white sugar
6. White sugar is packaged in bags with a specification of 100kg each. Currently, plastic bags are commonly used for packaging, with two layers of bags. The inner layer is a plastic film bag and the outer layer is a nylon woven bag with a specification of 50kg. There are also plastic bags with a specification of kg for packaging, which are mostly used for high-quality sugar or refined white sugar After packaging, the finished product is sampled and analyzed according to the number. If the quality standard is qualified, it can be sent to the warehouse

Sugar products can be made into various types of sugar besides sugar:

① Soft white sugar. The main product of Chinese sugar beet factories is made by the same method as white sugar, except that when boiling sugar, the number of grains is higher and the crystallization time is shorter. After honey separation, 2% conversion syrup is added and dried and crushed to obtain it.

② Square candy. By boiling sugar and cultivating crystals, the grain size is adjusted appropriately. When separating honey, a small amount of water is retained on the surface of the grains. Then, while hot, the wet sugar is pressed and cut into pieces, and dried to obtain the final product.

③ Rock sugar. Generally, the static crystallization method is used. The white granulated sugar is dissolved and boiled with water, and a small amount of soybean milk or egg white is added. The impurities in the granulated sugar are thoroughly removed with the aid of the thermal coagulation of protein, and the filtered clear sugar juice is put in an open pot to boil into syrup. Put the crystal nucleus into the crystallization container, and the sugar gradually grows around the nucleus. Then, it is separated and dried to obtain it.

④ Liquid sugar. Sugar can be dissolved in water or filtered by adding a small amount of activated carbon powder to syrup.

The characteristics of sugarcane sugar making equipment and machinery mainly include the following aspects:

1. High degree of automation, capable of achieving continuous and automated production processes. This greatly improves work efficiency and product quality while also reducing labor costs;
2. The structure of sugar making equipment is compact and reasonable, with a scientific layout;
3. The control technology used monitors and controls the entire process flow to ensure the stability and reliability of production

4 . Low energy consumption and good environmental performance. Adopting new energy-saving technologies and materials to reduce energy consumption while ensuring the normal operation of the machine; At the same time, the mechanical equipment also has the characteristics of low noise and minimal pollution

5. Strong adaptability: able to adapt to different material processing needs, and can meet the needs of different products by adjusting relevant parameters
