HoN WIN. 6. IRWIN, HoNoLULU, u
| DEAR SIR:-In reply to yours OF the
18th inst regarding the National Cane
shredder furnished by the niversal
| Mill Co. of New York, and erected by
| the Hilo Sugar Co. this past season,
| Iwould beg TO say, that it has now been
| in operation day and night during the past
| three weeks working ON plant cane, and
| also hard ratoons, and it is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more I see OF
| its capabilities, the better pleased l am
| that put it in, as / am satisfied that it
| will repay the original outlay in a short
time, in saving of labor, higher extrac-
| ton, etc.
1t is shredding from 100 to 100 tons o.
cane every % hours with the greatest
ease, and it could shred q much larger
quantity ii necessary. Il delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform feed
20 the three roller mill, which receives it
without the intervention of any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill of a
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
liability OF broken shafts. gearing, etc.
There is saving of four az men daily
on the mill, as only one man IS required
to regulate the amount of cane delivered
by the carrier to the shredder. It has
5 per cent.
The economical use of steam is gene
rally serious consideration in adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
boiler power is taxed to its highest limit.
as il was in this mill, and any increased
demand necessitated an additional boil
er. But find that the shredder AID the
three roll mill engines combined use no
more steam than the three roll mill
engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more of it,
and owing to the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The Megass from the shredded cane |
makes superior fuel, and the firemen |
have less difficulty in tanning a uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.
/ will be pleased to tave call from |
parties interested, as it is necessary to |
see the machine at work to fully appre- |
ciate it's capabilities.
1 remain, very truly yours,
