Jaggery Plant suppliers in India

Food Processing Machinery

Jaggery plant (gur / panela plant) for making jaggery from sugarcane on the farm, built in two sizes with 1000 kg / hour and 1600 kg / hour input cane crushing capacity. Sugarcane is crushed in a sugarcane crusher for its juice, which is boiled in a pan fired with bagasse; a single boiling pan is suggested as more economical than a line of four pans. Impurities that rise to the surface are removed by scumming, and at up to 118 degree C the juice concentrates into a pasty, crystalline yellow mass that sets solid as jaggery on cooling. Boiled chemical-free up to 125 degree C and cooled fast by industrial fans, it becomes granulated jaggery, passed through 2mm sieves for uniformity and packed in bags as an organic substitute for sugar. The plant can run on independent steam power. A water tube waste heat boiler, typically 24" x 30" x 66" to 86", sits in the underground flue gas trench between furnace and chimney. It links to a horizontal 14" dia x 5ft to 6 ft steam drum about 1 ft above the ground, which carries the water level gauge set, safety valve and pressure gauge, with the boiler feed pump at its bottom and the steam pipe at its top. The steam runs a steam engine that drives the crusher in place of an electric motor or diesel engine, saving 35 to 40 liter diesel every day. A village level skilled welder can fabricate the boiler in 2 days; it is tested on a hydraulic testing machine up to 600 psi, and full guidance to manufacture it is offered. In one engineer's trial, a 10 mt (32.6 ft) chimney of 600mm dia made juice boiling double faster, with flue gas at 380 degree Celsius flowing 40 cubic meter per hour at 4.7 meter per second; about 20 KW power is put as the potential from that waste heat. Gur is the natural mixture of sugar and molasses, full of minerals and vitamins, and is promoted as the healthy alternative to sugar, which is listed with 59 dangerous side effects. 1000 kg of sugarcane gives 140 kg of gur against 100 kg of sugar, with 40 kg of molasses discarded in sugar making. A gur unit needs only 2% of the capital of a sugar plant of the same capacity (also stated as at least 100 times less investment) and provides 40 times more employment (also stated as at least 50 times).
