The cane will be clean before it goes to the mill;Antidote, efficiency of factories will increase
Kolhapur: A new technique has been invented to clean the sugarcane before it reaches the mill. This new technology from Brazil is coming to India as well.
Due to which the efficiency of the factories will be improved by reducing the wear and tear of the expensive machinery along with increasing the yield of sugar. This technology will also contribute to increase India’s productivity.
Along with the sugarcane that is cut from the field for the mill, there is also dust, waste, soil, sand, pebbles, sugarcane roots and peat. As there is no facility to separate it before sieving, the sugarcane is sieved as it is. This causes damage to the expensive machinery in the factory, adversely affects the filtration capacity as well as the sugar yield. For this, factories in Maharashtra deduct 5 percent weight loss per tone as millage deduction. Farmers are also affected by this.
In Brazil, a technique was developed four or five years ago to clean these wastes and other unwanted substances before the sugarcane goes to the mill.
As a result, Brazil’s average sugar yield has risen to 14 percent.
A seminar has been organized at Vasantdada Sugar Institute in Pune on August 12 to benefit the Indian sugar industry from this technology. This technique will also be presented at this time, Former Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar along with dignitaries from the sugar industry will be present on this occasion.
Any kind of cut sugar cane can
be cleaned with this technology, the sugar cane can be cleaned by labor or by machine, this technology can be a boon to improve the efficiency of sugar factories in India, said Prakash Naiknavare, Managing Director of National Sugar Factories Federation while talking to ‘Lokmat’.
