Sugar machinery and equipment mainly include juicers, filters, sugar boilers, crystallizers, etc., their main function is to extract the sugar from sugar beet or sugar cane and convert it into edible white sugar through a series of processing steps. These devices require regular maintenance and upkeep to keep them up and running efficiently.

The juicer is a key part of the sugar production machinery, and its main task is to extract the sugary liquid from sugar cane or sugar beets. The design and use of the juicer has a direct impact on the extraction rate and quality of the sugar. Commonly used juicers include spiral juicers and drum juicers.

The filter is mainly used to remove solid impurities generated during the juicing process and improve the quality of the sugar solution. Filters are generally divided into two types: bag filters and centrifugal filters.

The sugar boiler is used to heat the sugar solution and evaporate the excess water in it to make its concentration meet the requirements of saccharification. The working principle of the sugar boiler is to make the sugar solution chemically react under high temperature and high pressure to produce glucose and other simple sugars.

A crystallizer is a process used to separate sugar and water, and by controlling the temperature and pressure, sugar molecules can aggregate in solution to form crystals. There are various types of crystallizers, including spray crystallizers, vacuum crystallizers, and centrifugal crystallizers, among others.

In addition to the above basic equipment, there are also some auxiliary equipment, such as conveyor belts, agitators, heat exchangers, etc., which are used to improve production efficiency and product quality. The use of sugar machinery and equipment needs to strictly follow the operating procedures to ensure safe production and equipment life.
