FS/TONGAAT HEAVY DUTY CANE SHREDDER

FS/TH heavy duty cane shredder at Davao Sugar Company, Philippines. (60“dia x 84“ wide, 7500 tcd maximum rated capacity).

Excellent cane preparation: maximum

sucrose extraction, minimum loss
Designed to achieve very fine preparation of sugar cane ● Excellent fibre particle size distribution
by separating the fibres and opening the cell wall ● Preparation index between 90-92%
efficiently. This allows the subsequent extraction process ● Increased throughput capacity
to maximise the removal of the sucrose bearing juice ● Improved final bagasse moisture
from the prepared cane. ● Higher imbibition efficiencies at each stage
● Lower mill absorbed power levels
● Improved boiler performance
● Consistently higher bagasse densities
● Lower bagasse pol loss
