Sugar is an ingredient we use in lots of foods we like to eat, from cookies, cakes, and candy, to some drinks and even some fruit. Ever wonder how sugar makes the leap from plant to white powder? One key step here: getting the gross stuff out of raw sugar to make it clean and safe to eat.
How Centrifuges Benefit the Cleaning of Raw Sugar
Centrifuges are machines that spin extremely quickly to split different bits of a mixture apart. In the case of raw sugar, centrifuges can be used to get rid of impurities like dirt, plant fibers and minerals. That’s important, because we want our sugar to be clean and safe to eat.
Separating the Ugly from Raw Sugar
When sugar is initially extracted from sugarcane or sugar beets, it is not in its clean, white state. It’s still got some bad stuff left to clear out. Enter centrifuges.
When the raw sugar is spun in centrifuges, the heavier impurities move outward and separate from the sugar crystals. This spinning occurs several times to ensure anything beastly is gone. What we get is pure, high-quality sugar that is safe for us to eat.
Making Sugar Cleaning Faster
Cleaning raw sugar was much more time-consuming and backbreaking before the invention of centrifuge. The impurities had to be sifted by hand, which was labor intensive.
Centrifuges have dramatically sped up this cleaning process. In much less time than it would take to do it by hand, the machines can extract the impurities from the sugar. This not only saves time and money for sugar makers, but also means the sugar is very good quality.
Obtaining Sugar of High Quality by the Use of Centrifugals
With the help of these spinning contraptions, sugar makers now can make sugar that is cleaner than ever. Using centrifuges, they can extract impurities and ensure the finished product is not only safe but free of anything bad.
At Hengrui, we understand the essential need of centrifuges in sugar-making. Our state-of-the-art machines are engineered to clean raw sugar effectively and provide our customers with the premium sugar they deserve.
In summary, the centrifugal filter is a very important tool for cleaning raw sugar and ensuring it's clean and of good quality. With these machines to remove impurities, sugar makers can make sugar even cleaner than in times past. Hengrui is also delighted to take part in such science and technology, and one that contributes to providing safe and delicious sugar to people all over the world,” said Wen-Long “Dave” Chen, Hengrui Food Vice President.
