Chemical Circulation Pump in Sugar Plants
Chemical Circulation Pump in Sugar Plants
In the sugar industry, sugar is processed in liquid form from the beginning to the end, with varying viscosities, gas pressures, and temperatures at each step. Water is required for beet washing, juice purification, and conveying juice to subsequent steps in the process. As a result, chemical circulation pumps are an essential part of virtually every step of processing. Versatility, easy installation, easy maintenance, ease in cleaning, and ease in disassembly are crucial to the operation. If a pump is not functional, it can delay production or stop it entirely, causing large amounts of damage, lost money, and lost time in waiting for repair.
Transfer pumps are widely used in the front end of process production, particularly with the extraction of cane juice, the application of fly ash to and transport of waste products to be either converted to paper or used to fertilize future crops and the transfer of molasses. Nearly all of these operations are hard on equipment due to the amount of work required to pump due to high viscosity fluids causing a blockage or acidic byproducts, causing a risk of corrosion and wear and tear.
