An innovation in continuous centrifuging for high-purity
sugar in cane sugar mills and refineries.
For more than a century, the sugar industry has been
obliged to operate in a batch-mode when producing high-purity sugar.
Today FIVES CAIL offers a continuous centrifugal which can handle
refined, "plantation white", brown, and affination massecuites
in cane sugar production. FIVES CAIL leads the world in this technology.
Output up to 45 tons of massecuite per
hour.
Numerous reference installations in operation
for many years.
No physical damage to the sugar crystals,
no lumps, little colouring, and low ash content.
Completely continuous operation.
Installation costs per ton of sugar produced
are much lower than for a batch centrifugal.
Low electrical power consumption.
Reduced maintenance requirement.
The continuous centrifugal is much less
sensitive to variations in massecuite quality than a batch centrifugal.
MASSECUITE
VISCOSITY REDUCER
Great operating flexibility.
Easily installed within existing
layouts.
Low electrical power consumption.
Reduced maintenance requirement.
Conditions the massecuite before curing by homogenising
it with water.
Increases centrifugal output by reducing the viscosity
of the massecuite.
Can handle highly viscous (or cold) massecuites
by optimising the amount of
added water with an efficient agitation.
