The sugar industry is the industrial process of converting raw materials (such as sugarcane or sugar beet) into sugar. This industry involves multiple stages, including the collection, washing, juicing, concentration, crystallization, and refining of raw materials. First, after washing and cutting, sugarcane or sugar beet is juiced to extract the sugar-containing liquid. Next, the sugar solution is concentrated and heated, allowing the sugar to gradually crystallize. The crystallized sugar needs to undergo centrifugation and refining to remove impurities and pigments, ultimately resulting in high-purity granulated sugar or other sugar products.
Application Exploration
Raw material processing. In the sugar production process, washing and pre-treating sugarcane and sugar beet ensures the purity of the raw materials, improving the efficiency of subsequent juicing and extraction.
Sugar solution refining. Through advanced filtration and refining technologies, impurities in the sugar solution are removed, enhancing the purity and quality of sugar to meet market demands.
Optimization of the crystallization process. Applying new crystallization technologies and equipment to enhance crystallization efficiency, reduce sugar loss, and increase yield.
Utilization of by-products. Processing by-products generated during sugar production (such as molasses) to develop into feed, alcohol, or other valuable products, achieving resource recycling.
Environmental protection. Adopting environmentally friendly technologies in sugar production to reduce wastewater and gas emissions, minimize environmental impact, and promote sustainable development.
