The SRI seed conditioning unit processes sugar magma from continuous centrifugals to produce a seed crystal stream ready for crystal growth.
How it works:
The small chips and fragments that are present in the sugar magma are removed through two processing steps:
- A controlled partial dissolution by creating a slightly undersaturated condition; and
- Crystallisation of the sucrose in solution onto the parent crystals.
The two processes are conducted in continuous flow equipment with full automation.
Benefits of the SRI seed conditioning unit include:
- Supply of prepared sugar magma ready for crystal growth in batch or continuous pans;
- Increased productivity and consistency in pan stage operations;
- Increased uniformity of the crystals produced using the prepared seed crystals; and
- Improved purging of the produced massecuite.
Design Features:
- Compact dissolution and crystallisation vessels;
- Fully automated operation;
- Easy cleaning procedures;
- Suitable for installation at the centrifugal station or on the pan stage;
- Low construction and maintenance costs;
- Minimal supervision; and
- Continuous flow with easy adjustment of the controlled parameters.
