MACHINERY AND PROCESSES

Machinery and equipment in Sugarcane Process

The sugar cane is one of the most popular products in our region. It's the most important economic activity in the Valle del Cauca, for this reason our company will use the best technology and equipment to process this resource. 

Our main objective is to optimize the most important processes, these are: planting, recollecting, processing, and distribution. Using the best technology available currently.

STEPS:

1.Search the equipment used in the standard process for recollection.

2.Select the automated equipment for the recollection process.

3.Write the benefits generated by the acquisition of machines and employees

SUGAR CANE PROCESS

The transformation of the sugar cane is made by the following stages:

We will concentrate on the main process, they are: Automatic cutting,

clarification and evaporation. The uses of the bagasse are important  but we

won’t talk about them.

SUGAR CANE CUTTING

This process is very important because if it is optimized we can approach more

potential of the sugar cane. There are two ways to cut the sugar cane and these

are: Manual and automatic. 

We can find advantages and disadvantages between the cutting ways, here we have some:

SUGAR CANE CLARIFICATION

After the cutting process the following step is the crushing process in which the

sugar cane juice is extracted. The next step is the clarification.

A process to clarify raw sugar cane juice, which comprises adding a source of

lime, adding an anionic inorganic colloid, and separating of the resulting sugar

cane juice.

MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT IN SUGARCANE PROCESS

The sugar cane is one of the most popular products in our region. It's the most important economic activity in the Valle del Cauca, for this reason our company will use the best technology and equipment to process this resource.

MAIN OBJECTIVE

Our main objective is to optimize the most important processes, these are: planting, recollecting, processing, and distribution. Using the best technology available currently.

In order to concentrate the clarified juice in the plant machinery it is processed for vacuum evaporation to remove most of the water.

In this process, multiple vacuum-boiling cells are arranged in series so that each succeeding cell has a higher vacuum. The vapors from one body can thus boil the juice in the next step.
