Welding solutions for every stage of the sugar mill

A sugar mill runs on a short season and cannot stop for a rebuild. Cane fibre and grit wear the knives, the fibrizer and the roller surfaces; hot acidic juice eats condensers and pump bodies; cast trash beams crack under shock. Pick an area of the mill to see which components fail, how they fail, and the STANVAC range that puts them back to work.

Isometric view of a sugar mill — a walled cane yard with a grab crane over stacked cane and loaded carts, a long milling tandem under its shed, a tall evaporator and pan block with its chimney, a bagasse-fired boiler and turbo-alternator hall with the workshop beside it, the centrifugal station and bagged sugar store, and a cooling pond in the middle of the roads.

How sugar mill components fail
  1. Abrasion

    Cane fibre, grit and field mud cutting into knives, fibrizer tips and roller surfaces.

  2. Grooving & slip

    Roller and trash-plate teeth rounding off until the mill stops gripping and extraction falls.

  3. Corrosion

    Hot acidic juice and vapour eating condensers, juice pumps and the pan-floor pipework.

  4. Cracking

    Cast trash beams, housings and turbine casings split by shock loading or an overtightened mill.
