The type and capacity of crystallizers are largely determined by:

Type of Massecuite:
- A-massecuite and refinery massecuites are hot cured.
- B-massecuite is cooled to around 52-54°C.
- C-massecuite is initially cooled to 40-42°C and then re-heated to 50-52°C.
Capacity Factors:
- Quantity of massecuite to be processed, generally kept around 10% higher than the pan capacity.
- Time required to cool the massecuite to the desired temperature.
- Duration needed to empty the crystallizer.

Rotary Sugar Dryer

Introduction

Experience the revolution in sugar drying with our Rotary Sugar Dryer. Designed for perfection and built for durability, our dryer is an innovation in the field of sugar drying and cooling. With a unique design that leverages the mechanical motion of the drum, the Rotary Sugar Dryer offers a streamlined process that makes it especially ideal for Raw Sugar Factories and Refineries.

How It Works

The Rotary Sugar Dryer operates distinctively. As the drum rotates in a spiral loop, it conveys the sugar from one end to the other without the direct influence of air displacing the sugar. Instead, the air is employed to percolate through the sugar curtain, which is created when the sugar is scooped up and showered across the entire cross-section of the shell. This not only ensures an even drying process but also maintains the integrity of sugar crystals, especially those smaller than 600-750 microns.

Integration Possibilities

To enhance the drying process and ensure optimal results, our Rotary Sugar Dryer can be seamlessly integrated with:

Cooler: For rapid cooling post-drying.
Chiller: Ensuring sugar temperature is maintained.
Dehumidifier: Counters the climatic conditions and prevents re-absorption of moisture.

The type of integration depends on the sugar variety and prevailing climatic conditions. This ensures that the bagging temperature remains ideal, keeping the sugar in pristine condition.

Key Benefits

High Energy Efficiency: Our design ensures maximum drying with minimal energy input.
Inbuilt Dust Extraction System: Ensuring a clean and hygienic drying environment.
Cost-Effective: High efficiency paired with low maintenance makes it a cost-effective solution for all your drying needs.
