The centrifugals influence the sugar quality
and the mill profit in 3 ways:
Overwashing dissolves good sugar, generates
more molasses and decreases capacity
• Leaving syrup on the crystals reduces pol,
increases ash and leads to caking
• A combination of the two above (very common)
Nowhere in processing
can so much sugar
be lost so quickly
and with so little notice
as in centrifugation
To avoid sugar losses the operator must see
the result of the centrufigation process and
act accordingly
