Summary

Description
English: Sugarcane Mill and Sugar Boiling Apparatus, Morris, Tasker & Co. Illustrated Catalogue, Pascal Iron Works Philadelphia, Tasker Iron Works New Castle, Del., Tenth Edition, June 1st, 1871 https://archive.org/details/IllustratedCataloguePascalIronWorks - The Cane Juice coming from the mill is pumped into the tank A, passing from there into the clarifiers B (the bottom of which are covered with horizontal pipes, so arranged as to receive either exhaust or direct steam), where, after adding the lime-water, the Cane Juice is boiled to 15 degrees Baume, and being carefully skimmed, is run off into tank C, which holds enough to fill evaporators D, the bottom being covered with a coil sufficiently large to heat the Cane Juice to the boiling point, when it is again carefully skimmed and conducted into a tank below the ground floor, being pumped from there into bag-filter G, which delivers clean syrup into tank H. From here it is drawn by vacuum into the Strike Pan, where it is boiled (in vacuum) up to the striking point, then carried into the Strike Heater, where it is allowed a sufficient time for cooling, after which it is passed through the Centrifugal Machines, which are below the Heater. The boiling in the Vacuum Pan and Clarifiers is materially assisted by the exhaust steam from the Engine. The Furnaces under the Boilers are arranged to burn Bagass, which makes a very economical and intense heat. The Defecators and Evaporators being in duplicate gives an opportunity of cleaning one while ther other is boiling.
