Through the process of osmosis the sugar is diffussed in the 14-cell battery, leaving a residue of pulp, the »rater first Introduced into the battery now containing the sugar formerly in the cossette. It then goes through t h e measuring tanks from where it goes through heat ers. whose function is to condition the juice for following chemical re actions. It is then taken to the first carbonation tanks where milk of lime is added to the juice, then car- txm dioxide gas Is added to bring the alikalinity to a desirable point. from which It goes through still an other liberation, over plate and frame presses, being then dumped to the large evaporators where the sugar juice Is concentrated, the water In the substance thus being evaporated. Sugar Starts to Cryxtallze The substance then goes through mother heater and another plate and frame press from where It is carried to the pan floor where cry- la'i-ation begins in a vacuum pan Though further evaporation of the sugar juice, or in other words, ap- roaching a point of super satura tion, crystals begin to form from ne hereto soluble sugar solution. Like a snowball that gradually gains n size as It is rolled over, the small rystals now formed take on more sugar, gradually reaching the de ride red size of table sugar. When this process Is completed these contents are dropped Into a nixer, a retaining tank for the nine rntrlfugals below. Each centrifugal s "charged” with a certain amount of filmass from the mixer, the bas ket of the centrifugal machine Is low set In motion, obtaining such peed that any non-sugar sub- tance and all water are discharged through the fine screen making the tide of the basket. The resulting sugar Is now "ploughed" and convey ed to a granulator, where the sugar dried and again screened. From there it Is let down to the sugar bins where It Is weighed, sacked, sewed and taken to the big warehouse.
