Sugar Processing Plant & Machinery Solutions

Crystal sugar is tipped, screened for lumps and passed over magnets to take out tramp metal picked up in handling and transport. Transfer is kept enclosed so the sugar stays dry and the dust stays inside the plant.

Sugar that has picked up moisture is dried and cooled so that it grinds cleanly instead of caking inside the mill. Dry air is supplied to the handling area to keep humidity away from the open product.

Granulated sugar is milled down to caster and icing fineness, with the mill chosen to suit the grade being made. Sugar dust is combustible, so grinding is run with dust collection connected directly to the mill.

Milled sugar is separated into grades and the oversize is returned for regrinding. The particle spread set here is what decides how the sugar dissolves and how it behaves in a dry blend.

Icing sugar is blended with an anti caking agent, while cube lines press dampened sugar and cut it to shape. Formed cubes are dried and cooled before they are collated for packing.

Mills, transfer points and packing machines are put under suction so that airborne sugar dust is captured where it is created. Collected fines are discharged through a controlled point instead of settling across the plant.

Finished sugar is filled into sachets, sticks, pouches or sacks, then sealed and coded. Retail packs are cartoned for despatch, while bulk grades go straight into sacks.
