Sugars milled

In a sugar mill, sugar cane is shredded, mixed with water and crushed between rollers. The resulting juice contains 7-11% sucrose, C12H22On. As-... 

Milled sugars have the problem that they are an explosive dust and must be handled with appropriate precautions. Some factories mill their own sugar on site while others have the sugar supplied pre-milled. 

The sugar mill in this case study is the most important sugar producer in Mexico and produces milled sugar cane of around 3 million tons per zafra (6 months of work period). This sugar mill is part of FEESA (Association of sugar producers) together with other 20 sugar mills in Mexico.

Confectionery factories normally use sucrose in a number of forms (for examples of particle size and forms commonly used in different confectionery products see Tables 3.2 and 3.3) granulated, i.e. crystalline milled sugar, icing sugar and possibly a 66% sugar syrup (see also... 

Table 3.4). Sugar is normally supplied to the factory in the granulated form. Sugar syrup is not stable and the economics of transporting large weights of water are not favourable. Powdered, milled sugars have the problem that they are potentially an explosive dust and must be handled with appropriate precautions. Some factories mill their own sugar on site whereas others have the sugar supplied pre-milled.

For processing of starch, sugar, and oilseed crops, a primary need is to develop additional industrial products from these raw materials. This is because a processing infrastructure, or at least the beginnings of one, already exists or could be developed for each of these raw materials. Therefore the capital risk of a totally new plant is not required. Corn wet and dry mills, sugar refineries for cane and beet sugar, and oilseed crushing mills already exist and industrial products are already produced from these raw materials.
