Novel Approach and Data Analysis of Cane Juice Centrifugation in Sugar Industry

  • Ms. Amruta Bijwar

Abstract

Centrifugation is one of the paramount unit operations in the sugar industry. Conventionally it is used after thickening of the cane juice, i.e. at a very high viscosity range. The authors are of the view that a sedimentation centrifuge will have the most suitable. The design features of centrifugals from batch to continuous types have been studies extensively, their operational parameters have also been discussed with practical application by several workers. Apart from centrifugation, the mechanical separation also plays a significant role for removing impurities obtain a comparatively purified product, Screening is also a method employed in various forms in the sugar industry. The speed maintains could be around 8000 rpm in the range of 70-75% mud moisture. The scroll conveyor in this type of centrifuge can arrest suspension particles. The size range of 1-2µm. It can have a wide range of feed flow, which can be estimated on the basis of a full-scale. All these points as discussed for a beneficial adoption of centrifugation of cane juice in the sugar industry.
