sukkersorter

A sukkersorter is a type of sorting machine used in the sugar industry to separate sugar crystals from molasses, the liquid byproduct of sugar production. The process begins with the evaporation of molasses to concentrate the sugar content. The resulting syrup is then cooled and seeded with sugar crystals, causing the sugar to crystallize. The sukkersorter is then used to separate the crystals from the remaining molasses.

The machine operates by passing the syrup through a series of screens and sieves, which allow the larger sugar crystals to pass through while retaining the smaller crystals and molasses. The separated sugar crystals are then collected and dried, while the molasses is recycled back into the production process. Sukkersorters are essential in the sugar industry for their ability to efficiently separate sugar crystals from molasses, improving the overall yield and quality of the final product.
