What is the sugar production process of sugar beet

Made by extracting juice, filtering and clarifying, boiling and concentrating evaporation and crystallization, and drying.

1, extract juice

Extraction of sugar-containing juice in the beet.

Water as a solvent to extract the sugar in the process called ooze, the sugar-containing aqueous solution is called ooze juice, after the extraction of sugar in the shredded vegetables called waste meal.

2, filtration and clarification

Filter out the impurities in the original liquid to ensure the quality of sugar.

The presence of non-sugar in the exudate juice will cause difficulties in processing, affecting the quality of sugar and increase the amount of waste honey and sugar loss. Therefore, before the concentration and crystallization of sugar juice should be filtered to remove as much non-sugar as possible. By adding lime (CaO), carbon dioxide CO2 and sulfur dioxide SO2 scavengers.

3, boiling concentration evaporation crystallization

High temperature makes the sugar solution boiling, evaporation of excess water to concentrate the sugar juice to crystallize.

4, drying

Through drying again to exclude excess water. After screening to form sugar.

The above is the whole process of sugar beet sugar.
