STREAMLINING CANE RECEPTION PROCESS

CANE RECEPTION

The milling process starts with the reception of sugar cane at the factory. We carefully inspect each delivery of sugar cane to ensure that it meets our quality standards.

EXTRACTION

JUICE EXTRACTION

Once the sugar cane has been inspected, it is fed into the milling process, where it is crushed to extract the juice. The juice is then filtered to remove any impurities and is then transferred to the evaporation stage.

ENHANCING EVAPORATION FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS

EVAPORATION

In the evaporation stage, the juice is heated to remove the excess water, which increases the sugar concentration. The evaporated juice is then transferred to the crystallization stage.

PRECISE CRYSTALLIZATION FOR SUPERIOR RESULTS

CRYSTALLIZATION

In the crystallization stage, the sugar concentration is further increased by the controlled addition of seed crystals. The sugar crystals are then separated from the liquid, which is called molasses.

The sugar crystals are then dried and packaged into bags or bulk containers. We use modern packaging techniques to ensure that our sugar products are delivered to our customers in the best possible condition
