Bagacillo Removal Using Specially Designed Gyro - Rotary Vibroscreen to Improve Sugar Quality

摘要

Modification in cane preparation devices, such as the shredder / fiberizor, have improved the preparation index (P.I.) and thus increased extraction at mills. However, it has increased bagacillo levels in mixed juice. Bagacillo releases coloring matter at high temperature, especially after liming. This rise in color due to bagacillo can be avoided or reduced by reducing bagacillo from mixed juice with the help of a proper screening device to remove bagacillo from mixed juice - the Vibroscreen. This device can be considered as a pre-clarification station and will help add value to the cane sugar produced by way of improvement in terms of ICUMSA color, keeping a low cost of production, and leading to greater profitability of the sugar industry.
