Things You Must Take Care Of While Establishing A Sugar Plant

There are a number of variables that should be considered while determining which sugar plant one needs, these variable are characterized by a number of factors such as the location of the facility and the objectives of the operator. The correct and optimal determination of the size and the type of equipment that are to be used and stand fit as per your requirement depends on the careful evaluation of such variables. Below we have listed four essential factors one must consider while buying equipment for the sugar processing.

Quality of the raw material – We know that the quality of your crop in this case sugar cane and beetroot vary as per the seasons. This variance in the quality of the raw material should be kept in mind as it can influence the process of production in many different ways and must be considered when you are sizing equipment for a facility. Two prominent raw material qualities that can affect the selection of equipment are brix and non-pol.

Crush Rate –What determines the crush rates on daily and hourly basis is the total quantity of the raw materials which are to be crushed and the milling season as well is important. For the optimal selection of the equipment, determination of the crush rate is very much needed because when the development schedule moves on, it gets quite difficult as well as costly to make required design changes.

Objectives that are project specific – There are numerous factors that can limit the outcomes of the sugar facility such as OPEX, CAPEX, emissions, raw material quality, power consumption, etc. So, when you are designing a process do not keep the goal to be an easy to install and lesser costly equipment but examine closely what are your project specific requirements and which equipment fulfills the need.

Keep in mind Future Expansion – Plans for future expansion for any facility is an important consideration one must make in the earliest of stages while designing a plant set up. You don’t want to be stuck up in a plant that has no room for expansion say 10 years down the line.
