Java Method Mill Settings

The document discusses the Java Method mill settings system developed in the early 1900s by Dutch scientists researching sugar cane processing at the Indonesian Sugar Research Centre. The Java Method aimed to extract as much sugar juice from cane as possible using slow roller rotations to crush the fiber without damaging the juice. It calculated the optimal work and set openings between rollers based on their mean diameters. Many countries adopted the Java Method as the preferred system for setting up sugar cane mills to maximize extraction.

JAVA METHOD MILL SETTINGS

Adapted and recreated by: Tot SoemohandojoThere is a mill settings system called the Java Method, which was created based on the theoryby the Dutch scientists such as Muller von Czernicky and Gogelijn since before 1900. They wereresearchers at the famous research centre named Proefstation Oost Java (POJ), which is nowrenamed as Indonesian Sugar Research Centre in Pasuruan, East Java Indonesia.POJ was one of the main reference for the worlds sugar industries, among other things the JavaMethod mill setting calculations, which taken and used as preference system by many countriessuch as Australia, Mauritius, South Africa, Philippine, Hawaii, India, Pakistan and the othercountries in South America as well.The Java Method has the philosophy that the sugar juice contained in cane must be extracted asmuch as possible by the milling with a minimum dissipation. To get such extraction the millcrushing only the fibre contained in cane and must be within as slow as possible roller rotations.This was possible at the time when reciprocating steam engines in use for the drives and the rollerrotations were between 2.5 1.2 rpm only, decreases from the ultimate to the following mills.There are 2 (two) subjects of Java Method approaches in this paper:

The Mill Settings

The Design Capacity 1. The Mill Settings Normal composition of a mill have 3 (three) rollers, the top, feed and the delivery. Each roller hasits outer diameter and the base diameter, and in between the mean diameter. The use of Vgrooved roller now a day would be simple to measure the mean diameter of a roller, the outerdiameter minus twice the approximate half of its groove height.A correct mill setting is required to obtain good extraction of the mill tandem, where 2 (two)kinds of opening for every mill should be comprehensively calculated when setting the mills:

the work opening, that is the gap measured between two rollers in view of their meandiameter when they are in working or milling condition (the top roller lifted up), and

the set opening, means the gap measured between two rollers in view of their meandiameter when they are not in working condition (the top roller at rest).There are 2 (two) openings in a mill, the delivery and the feed opening, where each has the work and the set opening.
