Abstract
This paper reviews the operating success and problems of the Putsch ® Jet Wash Roller Table elicited at the American Crystal Sugar's plant in Minnesota. The economic justification of the spray table was that it reduced sugar loss from lower residence time. Intangible benefits included better separation of flume water from beets. Problems were identified with clarified water supply to the spray nozzles and the impact it has on beet washing. The main benefits sited in this paper from the installation of the spray table were increased beet washing effectiveness, reduced flume water carryover, and reduced sugar loss to flume.
期刊介绍:
International Sugar Journal, first published in 1869, is a peer reviewed technical-trade journal focusing on latest developments in sugar technology and sugar industry. The journal embraces scientific and technical advances in agricultural production right through to the production of sugar crystal, as well as economic, trade and policy issues. Main topics include:
• sugarcane and sugar beet production
• front end operations
• cane and beet sugar manufacture
• sugar refining
• economics, trade and legislation and
• biorenewables (cogeneration, biofuels and biobased products)
Related topics, namely analysis, instrumentation, equipment and machinery, food and non-food uses of sugar and alternative sweeteners also form the focus of the journal.
