Process instrumentation for the sugar industry

Innovative, robust and easy-to-clean measurement technologies during production and maintenance

Evaporation in the sugar manufacturing process

Sugar production is a cost-sensitive business. Robust, durable and high-quality process instrumentation is of utmost importance because it increase performance of your sugar factory and ensures constant quality. Sugar manufacturing processes can be optimized without compromising product quality. Easy-to-clean, reliable and innovative measurement technologies guarantee high plant availability and reduce the risk of equipment damage during maintenance.

Level measurement in the evaporation process

One of the most challenging applications in sugar production is level measurement in the evaporator. A low clarified juice level may damage an entire batch and cause an unscheduled outage.

Our expertise in the field

Radar technology mounted in a bypass system ensures robust, stable and reliable level monitoring.

Keep pH measurement within safe limits

The optimal pH range in the sugar crystallization process is pH 6.5 to 7.0, which ensures top-quality end products. Because of the low ionic strength of the water mixed with sugar, a glass electrode cannot be used.

Our expertise in the field

We recommend our digital non-glass sensors with ISFET or enamel electrode combined with Memosens technology.

Brix concentration at the highest level

Syrup is produced in the evaporation phase with about 65° Brix. Reliable and accurate results at the right moment are key.

Our expertise in the field

Apart from the main task of measuring mass flow and density, the Promass also performs an in-line measurement of the Brix concentration with a high degree of accuracy. Furthermore, Promass provides clear, standardized diagnostic notifications using the Endress+Hauser Heartbeat Technology, which enables predictive maintenance while supplying proof of operational reliability and process safety.
