The FIVES CAIL Extraction Unit equipped
with two pressure rollers can surpass the performance
of an ordinary mill.
Limited reabsorption of juice
into the bagasse between the rollers and at the outlet
because of a reabsorption control device.
30 % energy reduction relative
to an ordinary 4-roller mill.
Minimum dimensions allow easy installation
at the head of an extraction line.
Limited maintenance because of the reduced
number of component parts (no trash plates)
Adapted for a dewatering mill for bagasse discharged
from a diffuser.
FIVES
CAIL SELF-SETTING MILL
Well-proven technology for bagasse
extraction and dewatering.
Pivoting arm at the rear of the mill.
Steady, constant regulation of the feed/discharge
openings ratio between the rollers, for any load.
Reduced maintenance, all rollers easily
removed.
A 3-roller mill with a large feeding roller,
or a 4-roller mill.
Very solid construction.
INTERMEDIATE
RAKE CONVEYOR
Optimises the transfer of bagasse
from one mill to the next.
Steep slope permitting reduced
distance between two mills and the installation of a Donnelly
chute.
Favours homogenous imbibition
of the bagasse.
Reduced maintenance requirement.
DONNELLY
CHUTE
Optimises the continuous feeding and the
output of mills and extraction units.
Continuous measurement of bagasse levels
in the chute allows for regulation of the mills.
FLETCHER SMITH/TONGAAT HULETT CANE DIFFUSER
Revolutionary extraction technology developed
from operational experience and incorporating a number
of patented features.
The FS/TH diffuser is a highly efficient
fixed screen, moving bed design fitted with lifting
(bed disturbance) screws which prevent compaction
of the cane bed to ensure even percolation eliminating
the need for press water clarification.
High sucrose extraction.
Low initial capital costs.
Low maintenance costs.
Simple automatically controlled
operation with low operational costs.
Reduced energy consumption.
Lower high pressure steam consumption.
Improved thermal balance especially
for cogeneration plants.
