One of the latest mechanical appliances
In the manufacture of sugar is the Lille
evaporation, but In this mill have been In
stalled four "Braunschweig" upright evap-
orators, which the management considers
superior to all others.
The mill is very nicely arranged, and
free access Is allowed to all parts OF the ma
chinery The nine-roller mill Is driven by
q 25O-horsepower hamilton.Corliss engine,
while a separate Corliss engine drives the
Krajewsk crusher.
The bagasse from the mill is fed auto
matically direct to the furnaces, over which
have been installed six multitubular boilers
which generate the steam to drive the en-.
gines pumps and the vast labyrinth OF ma
chinery.
A General Electric 6OO.light machine has
been installed, directly driven by Ball
engine. Above the mill is a 15ton travelling
crane used for the purpose OF handling va.
rious heavy parts OF machinery. Adjoining
the mill is a large lime kiln, where the CON-
pany manufactures its own lime to produce
carbonic acid gas, as likewise for lining
purposes.
AS the cane is brought to the mill It is
weighed and then run onto a hydraulic tip
ping table and the entire load in one move
ment Is deposited upon the cane carrier and
conveyed direct to the Krajewski crusher.
nnceration in the mill is carried on from
~ to Is per cent by utilizing the waters from
enters the mill II is under complete chem
ical control. The mill extraction for the
season of 1901 is given at SO 74-100 of the
total quantity of sugar. and the total
extraction to weight of cane Is placed
at 81 S3.1OO. The method of determining
the mill extraction Is by the same formula
as adopted at other plantations on Oahu.
Adjacent to the mill are the machine
shops. In which have been installed large
lathe, radial drill shaper, pipe cutter, thread
err, etc, all driven by separate power. Be-
yond this is the blacksmith, wheelwright
and carpenter shop, where are manufacture
ed cane cars, bridge work, material for
buildings on plantation, pillow beams, wagon
wheels, etc.
In this particular part of the plantation
work. some eighty hands are employed the
year round. consisting of carpenters, timers.
plumbers painters. etc.
From the mill all sacked sugar is put
aboard the cars Of the o. r. & L. Co. direct
from the sugar rooms, and conveyed to the
water terminals Of the railroad company at
Honolulu and shipped to various parts Of
the United States to be refined.
The Oahu mill was erected by the Homo
lulu Iron Works of Honolulu.
Such. In brief are the conditions as they
exist upon the plantation of the Oahu Su-
gar Company. of which property August
Ahrens has been manager from It's incep.
ton. He has been identified with the sugar
Industry OF the Islands for twenty-three
years, and was formerly at Waianae.
