Handbook of Cane Sugar Engineering

Handbook of Cane Sugar Engineering

Handbook of Cane Sugar Engineering focuses on the technologies, equipment, methodologies, and processes involved in cane sugar engineering. The handbook first underscores the delivery, unloading, and handling of cane, cane carrier and knives, and tramp iron separators. The text then examines crushers, shredders, combinations of cane preparators, and feeding of mills and conveying bagasse. The manuscript takes a look at roller grooving, pressures in milling, mill speeds and capacity, and mill settings. Topics include setting of feed and delivery openings and trash plate, factors influencing capacity, formula for capacity, fiber loading, tonnage records, linear speed and speed of rotation, sequence of speeds, hydraulic pressure, and types of roller grooving. The book then elaborates on electric and turbine mill drives, mill gearing, construction of mills, extraction, milling control, purification of juice, filtration, evaporation, sugar boiling, and centrifugal separation. The handbook is a valuable source of data for engineers involved in sugar cane engineering.

Handbook of Cane Sugar Engineering

Hugot's Handbook of Cane Sugar Engineering needs little introduction - it can be found in technical libraries in cane sugar producing countries all over the world. Unique in the extent and thoroughness of its coverage, the book has for many years provided the only complete description of cane sugar manufacture, mills, diffusers, boilers and other factory machinery, calculation methods of capacity for every piece of equipment, and process and manufacturing techniques. This new edition has been extensively revised. Information that has become obsolete or of little interest has been deleted or severely shortened. Detailed additions have been made to chapters dealing with recently developed equipment. An entirely new chapter has been added on automation and data processing. Numerous figures, graphs, drawings, photographs, tables and formulae are provided. The metric system has been used throughout the book, but because many factories still use the British units, all measures, formulae and tables and nearly all calculations have been given in both systems.
