CANE PREPARATION Knaives 1.9 Kw h / t of cane Desfibrator Kw h / t of cane Milling Tanden each three rolls mill Kw h / t of cane

PROCESSING Juice heaters Kw h / t of cane ( Depending on the ammout of juice in Cane) Evaporator Kw h / t of cane ( Eliminates 75% of water from 16 o Bx to 65 o Bx) Evaporator Kg of water / Kg of cane

VACUUM PAN Kcal / Kg of cane ( Base on three massecuites of 92 o Bx) CENTRIFUGE Kw h / t of cane WATER PUMPING TO CONDENSERS AND VACUUM Kw h / t of cane

TOTAL DEMAND FOR RAW SUGAR Kw h / t of cane Kcal / t of cane An having in mind that: 1 t of cane gives 250 / 300 Kg bagasse ( 1825 Kcal / Kg) 1 t of cane gives 250 / 300 Kg bagasse ( 1825 Kcal / Kg)

GENERAL INDEXES Bagasse % of cane 25-30% INBIBITION WATER 10-30% BY WEIGHT OF CANE BUT BETTER 200 % OF THE FIBRE WEIGHT STEAM GENERATION 2.24 Kg / Kg of bagasse
