INTRODUCTION
India is the largest sugar consumer and second largest producer in the
world according to foreign agricultural service.
Indian sugar industry has total turn over of Rs. 500 billion per annum and
contributes almost Rs. 22.5 billion to the central and state exchequer as
taxes and excise duty every according to Ministry of Food & Govt. of India .
The sugar industry covers around about 7.5% of total rural population and provides
employment about 5 lakh people in rural and semi-rural areas.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Harvesting of cane
Extraction of juice
Filtration
Evaporation
Crystallization
Centrifugation
HARVESTING OF CANE
MANNUAL: in manual type harvesting, canes are harvested by the help of manpower
or labour.
truck
Animal driven
cart
Cutters are mechanical equipment which is used to cut the canes into desired size.
In the cutter equipment consist no. of cutting blades to cut the cane.
Cutter machine is operated by electric motor shaft pulley & belt arrangement.
Shredder is used to remove leaves and undesired solid particles from cane.

EXTRACTION OF JUICE
Raw cane juice obtain by extraction operation. When sugar cane cells are braked sweet
liquid substance came out that is known as cane juice.
1. MAIN ROLLER or DRIVER : feed & discharge roller are driven by main roll.
FILTRATION
Filtration process is the separation of suspended & colloidal particles from raw juice.
CLARIFICATION: In clarification process sludge, mud, suspended & colloidal particles are
removes by some chemical compounds.
Raw cane juice are filled in clarifier (conical shape vessel), where phosphoric acid, lime &
sulphur dioxide are mixed with the help of agitator.
When these chemicals are mixed, suspended and colloidal particles are collect in flock
and resulting settled down.
Neat and clean juice comes out from the upper section of clarifier, sludge and mud are
collect in bottom and drainage to rotary filter.

EVAPORATION
The operation is performed normally by use of low pressure, dry & saturated steam.
In the evaporator feed interred at upper section and concentrated thick liquor exit at
bottom section.
Steam temperature 113-130 degree Celsius at 1st pan and 55 degree Celsius at last
pan .
CRYSTALLIZATION
The object of the process is usually the recovery of the solute (crystals) from the solvent.
CENTRIFUGATION
centrifuge-
Drying is very essential mass transfer operation in processing sugar cane into sugar.
The moisture content in sugar after leaving centrifuge which varies b/w 0.5 to 2. %
needed to reduced about 0.05% for safe storage.
The relatively pure brown coloured liquor from the filtration stage ,raw liquor is then
subjected to decolourisation by contact with bone-char.
It has a high surface area and the unique ability to absorb colour and inorganic ash
impurities from the sugar.
The melted and liquid liquor is stored in a long vertical and cylindrical vessel about 36
hrs.
The vessel is already packed with bone-char, where bone-char & liquor comes in intimate
contact, resulting impurities and colour are absorbed by bone-char.
The decolorized fine liquor is ready for the final refining & recovery step, which is
achieved by crystallization in vacuum pans.
