Automatic Cane Carrier Control
Honig, P.  1956.  The time has come to eliminate complicated systems to calculate boiling house efficiency, instead introduce a new conception based on pol analysis and apparent purities, but using as the apparent purity of the starting material the apparent purity of the syrup, and to use as the target purity of the final molasses the purity as…

Applying the Douwes-Dekker Formula to Philippine Molasses
Sto. Domingo, J.P.  1956.  The practical usefulness of the Douwes-Dekker formula in determining the relative factory low grade efficiency in both Java and Queensland made it quite well applicable to Philippine molasses. This is made possible now that a majority of the Philippine mills are reporting data on ash and…

A Study of the Possibilities of High Test Molasses Production
Ancheta, T.R.  1956.  Increases in sugar consumption requirements particularly in the U.S. where a large portion of our production is exported, have not proportionately benefited the Philippines. Hence, other profitable outlets for excess production must be found. The production of high test molasses is one solution…

Vacuum Pan Design in Relation to Performance
Hamill, J.  1957.  Technologists and factory owners sending out inquiries for vacuum pans should specify the main features of performance, such as volume, steam pressure, vacuum, type of sugar, especially graining volume, and generally give the pan designer the conditions to be met in regard to the product to be produced. Vacuum Pan…

The New 3-Boiling System Using A Molasses Granulation
Batenga, D.E. and Sing, P.H.  1957.  The article present the recent advances in the achievement of better performance and better boiling house efficiency, that is the New Three-Boiling System using “A” molasses granulation. The System minimizes processing losses, increases equipment capacities and produces sugar of better…
