Top Mounted Mechanical Circulator

Circulation of Massecuite during Pan boiling plays a prime role in the proper growth of crystals and exhaustion of molasses. Mechanical Circulator gives a marked improvement in boiling and improves the quality of sugar. It permits a valuable gain in recovery and renders it possible to work with tighter massecuite.

The use of a Patented Impeller Design ensures the best circulation at the lowest power consumption. The flow generated by the impeller ensures uniform distribution of massecuite through the calandria tubes. This effectively enhances heat transfer and capacity utilization. It provides the means of achieving an acceptable heat transfer with a temperature difference as low as 20°C, compared to at least 45-50°C in the absence of a stirrer. The use of low-pressure vapor becomes possible, allowing reductions in the factory steam requirements.

Top Mounted Mechanical Circulator assembly consists of the following elements:

• A shaft with a hub carrying impeller blades
• A bearing housing with bearings supporting the shaft
• The shaft is guided with Gun Metal Bush inside the Pan.
• Top-mounted Drive system consisting of reduction gearbox and motor. The gearbox is coupled to the main shaft.
