Maximizing Yield in Sugar Production
In the global sugar industry, whether processing sugar cane or sugar beets, the margin for error is slim. Manufacturers must balance high throughput with the need to recover maximum sucrose from every ton of raw material. KES industrial centrifuges provide the mechanical separation efficiency required to reduce sugar losses, lower fresh water consumption, and refine by-products for added value.
Our robust decanters and separators are engineered to handle the specific challenges of the sugar house: abrasive soil loads, high viscosities, and the need for continuous, reliable operation during the harvest campaign.
Recovering Sugar from the Clarifier Underflow
In traditional cane sugar processing, rotary vacuum filters are often the bottleneck—consuming large amounts of space and maintenance while leaving valuable sugar in the filter cake (mud).
The KES Solution
KES Decanter Centrifuges replace vacuum filters to process the clarifier underflow directly.
Higher Sugar Recovery
The decanter efficiently separates the juice from the mud, returning high-quality sweet water to the process.
Drier Cake
The machine produces a much drier cake (bagacillo/mud mixture), which is easier to handle and transport for use as fertilizer or fuel.
Reduced Footprint
A compact decanter installation replaces bulky vacuum filters, simplifying the plant layout.
Upgrading By-products for Fermentation
Molasses is a valuable feedstock for the fermentation industry (yeast, ethanol, rum) but often contains ash, calcium salts, and fine solids that inhibit fermentation efficiency.
The KES Solution
KES Disc Stack Separators clarify molasses by removing inorganic impurities and fine suspended solids. This purification step prevents scaling in fermentation tanks and increases the yield of the downstream fermentation process, turning a low-value byproduct into a premium raw material.
Ensuring Final Product Quality
To produce high-quality refined sugar, the raw syrup must be free of turbidity and non-sugar impurities. KES Centrifuges polish the syrup, removing fine particles that filtration might miss, ensuring the final crystal sugar meets the highest purity standards.
