Rock sugar is an ice-like crystal made of white granulated sugar, which is formulated from sucrose and protein raw materials and recrystallized after re-dissolution and crystallization treatment. There are two kinds of single crystal and polycrystal, which are transparent or translucent.
The components of a single crystal rock sugar machine mainly include vacuum system, cooling system, stirring system, transmission system, etc. These systems are all made of stainless steel to ensure the corrosion resistance and durability of the equipment. At the same time, the design of the equipment also fully considers the convenience and safety of operation, enabling operators to easily carry out maintenance and upkeep work.
Rock sugar can be produced from refined syrup, an intermediate product in the refining workshop of a sugar factory, or from white granulated sugar through processes such as redissolution, purification, and recrystallization. It has colors such as white, slightly yellow, slightly red, and deep red, and crystallizes like ice, hence the name rock sugar. Because the component of rock sugar is glucose containing crystal water, which is the same as the component that breaks down white sugar in the body, it can replace white sugar; Due to its high purity and unique dietary benefits, it is superior to white sugar and highly competitive in the market.
Rock sugar can be divided into: single crystal rock sugar, polycrystalline rock sugar, and Brown sugar tablet
Single crystal rock sugar machine
Single crystal rock sugar machine is an advanced sugar making equipment that uses cooling crystallization technology under vacuum conditions. Through precise control and efficient mechanical operation, it converts syrup into regular and uniformly sized single crystal rock sugar. This equipment not only improves production efficiency, but also ensures stable quality of rock sugar, making it an indispensable tool in modern sugar production.
The working principle of a single crystal rock sugar machine is relatively complex, but the process is clear. Input the concentrated syrup into the equipment and perform cooling crystallization under vacuum conditions. At the same time, the stirring system inside the equipment will continue to operate to achieve homogenization of the syrup, ensuring that sugar molecules can be arranged in an orderly manner and crystallize. During the crystallization process, precise control of the cooling curve is required to generate single crystal rock sugar with fine texture and regular shape. This technology enables each rock sugar to present a consistent shape and size, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also easy to store and use.
In terms of production process, the single crystal rock sugar machine adopts advanced machine processing crystallization technology, which forms a sharp contrast with the traditional natural crystallization process of polycrystalline rock sugar. The emergence of single crystal rock sugar machines not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces production costs, making single crystal rock sugar more competitive in the market. Meanwhile, due to its regular shape and pure and sweet taste, single crystal rock sugar also exhibits unique advantages in cooking and consumption.
Polycrystalline rock sugar machine
The vast majority of rock sugar companies usually use polycrystalline rock sugar equipment when processing polycrystalline rock sugar. Compared with traditional high-temperature boiling sugar processing methods, the processing process of polycrystalline rock sugar equipment will be faster and will have a larger market in the future. Many traditional enterprises are still using the traditional high-temperature boiling sugar processing method to produce polycrystalline rock sugar. However, polycrystalline rock sugar production equipment has opened up a new blue ocean in the market, and there are more types of equipment to choose from
There are several main processing methods for polycrystalline rock sugar production equipment:
- Processing method of polycrystalline rock sugar under normal pressure
Polycrystalline rock sugar processing under normal pressure is usually carried out between 108-160 ℃, with a final temperature above 125 ℃, and hard sugar reaching 160 ℃. Within this temperature range, polycrystalline rock sugar inevitably undergoes chemical reactions such as transformation, decomposition, and polymerization. Especially in the later stages of boiling, higher temperatures accelerate various chemical reactions and produce more decomposition products. Therefore, the selection of materials should consider the risks and consequences of transformation and decomposition that may occur in high-temperature areas.
- Processing of polycrystalline rock sugar under vacuum
The processing of polycrystalline rock sugar under vacuum, also known as vacuum rock sugar processing, has the advantage of using vacuum to lower the boiling point of the sugar solution and evaporate a large amount of water at low temperatures. In a closed sugar pot, most of the surface air of the sugar solution is pumped out, so as long as it is subjected to less steam pressure during the heating process, the sugar solution will be in a boiling state, which allows the sugar boiling process to be completed at a lower temperature than normal pressure sugar boiling.
- Cooperate with continuous vacuum film for processing polycrystalline rock sugar
The processing of polycrystalline rock sugar using equipment combined with continuous vacuum film has a relatively high degree of automation and good stability. During the processing, temperature, concentration, vacuum degree, heating steam pressure, feed rate, discharge rate, and operating conditions can be effectively controlled. Under vacuum concentration conditions, the processing time of rock sugar raw materials can be shortened to less than 10 seconds through a temperature range below 140 ℃, and the conversion content can generally be less than 0.5%.
- Processing of polycrystalline rock sugar at low temperatures
This is a relatively new method for processing polycrystalline rock sugar. Polycrystalline rock sugar equipment can further process rock sugar on the basis of continuous vacuum boiling, while raising the temperature of hard sugar to around 108-110 ℃ and soft candy to around 98-100 ℃, greatly reducing the boiling temperature and requiring shorter processing time.
Polycrystalline rock sugar: also known as old rock sugar, earth rock sugar, block rock sugar, etc. It is an irregular crystalline rock sugar produced using traditional techniques. According to different production processes, it can be divided into hanging line method for rock sugar (finished products are divided into ice columns and ice edges, which may contain impurities such as cotton thread and paper) and pot crystallization method (all rock sugar crystallizes along the crystallization pot, resulting in relatively pure finished products). According to different colors, it is divided into white rock sugar, yellow rock sugar, and amber rock sugar (gray).
