SRI Continuous Vacuum Pan
Features
  • Excellent massecuite exhaustion
  • Significant improvement in raw sugar recovery
  • Consistent production conditions
  • Factory proven design
  • Horizontal pan layout comprising well-mixed cells
  • Small number of cells of optimal individual cell volumes
  • Separate modules with calandria in each module
  • Vertical tube calandria with sloping tube plates
  • Low massecuite boiling head
Designed to:
  • Ensure strong circulation of massecuite
  • Provide uniform conditions for crystal growth at any
    section along the pan
  • Generate narrow crystal size distribution
  • Provide flexibility of operation with minimal operator supervision
  • Allow easy observation of boiling conditions
  • Permit all operations to be conducted from one side of pan
  • Minimise number of control instruments
  • Provide easy access to calandrias for maintenance
  • Simplify valving and feed pipe work
  • Augment production capacity by addition of extra module
Operational performance:
  • Strong circulation movement in pan allows production of well
    exhausted massecuite of high dry solid content

  • Typically for 64 purity
  • massecuite of high dry, the crystal content in the product exceeds
    35% on solids
    A minimum of operator supervision while maintaining
    consistent production performance

  • Production capacity of SRI Continuous Vacuum Pan is about
    30% greater than batch pan of comparable volume
