Comparison of Extractives from Milling and Diffusion
Ivin, P.C., Clarke, M.K., et.al.  1987.  This paper examines the quality of the extractives obtained from the diffusers at both Inkerman and Fairymead over the years 1977-1978 and 1983-1985. A comparison of the extractives from the milling train and diffuser was also made at both factories and the use of lime addition to…
Microcomputer Control of Sugar Crystallization
Virtanen, J.  1986.  Finnish Sugar Co. Ltd. has developed a method by which the exact supersaturation can be determined during the whole strike, and which can be used both with pure solutions and with low purity syrups. A characteristic of the method is also that the process controls itself, with the crystallization velocity at…
Use of Spiral Trough Tubes in Heat Exchanger
Kailang, W., Tianyi, L., et.al.  1989.  During the 1984/85 and 1985/86 seasons, a small experiment of using high effect heat transfer tubes on mixed juice and clarified juice was made at Guandong Yangchin second sugar factory. In order to continue to probe the effect of these tubes on heat transfer, scale formation, scale removal,…
The Use of a Robot for Juice Analysis
Everitt, P.G., Smit, J., et.al.  1989.  The Sugar Research Institute has investigated the use of a robot to undertake the determination of pol and brix of first expressed juice. This paper describes the system which has been developed as a result of this investigation. The Use of a Robot for Juice Analysis. Sugar Journal, July 1989:8-12.
The Effect of Some Operational Factors on Colour Transfer during Pan Boiling
Lionnet, G.R.E.  1989.  The SMRI pilot batch pan was used to investigate the effects of a number of operational factors on the transfer of colour from mother liquor to crystal during A-massecuite boiling. The factors investigated include stirring, supersaturation, crystal size and crystallization rate…
