H. S. P A:

Mr. N. S WILLIAMS, Chairman Committee on Manufacture,
In your request prepare paper on Boiling
and Drying No Sugar, beg submit following remarks
covering the ground suggested by YOU time re-
GREETING that there little available on this subject
ind, however from the few replies that have able
obtain from those factories which have my queries
thahe oriy practice much the method
facture of their No that have always advocated
getting as much dry possible into the No matx,
with the addition of much moasses the sugar
1t does not appear that there advantage in working
syrup OF high density from the he general practice
seems TO De TO work with density OF from 28 to 80 Baume
have data showing different results from different
the all important questions of economy of time saving
polarization of the sugar shipped amount quality
final moses they have always BEEN the questions which
io te1l ua II IS the general practice to take IN from o9
to 2o8 OF dry sugar into the the strike being carried
peon with and the addition of No olases this
lasses varying from Io& to 2o%.
The addition of the dry sugar boiling of
the strike bu'he quantity of moasses added purity
undoubtedly has some effect
The dry sugar thus syrup poarizes from SO to
81 degrees and the moasses added has purity 581
o5& From experiments made here found better
this moasses with and there advantage
gained by drawing in part of the moasses into the strike
time and another time in fact the results showed
better to take all in after the required syrup
utilized
The taking in OF dry sugar of saving time in
boiling strike but of the sugar handled this
advantage negatived if backed up by saving
subsequent operations instance boiling of the No
molases to coolercar proof where saving in
and this sugar being dried sufficiently from Jumps
to pass rapidly from the hopper into the pan.
AS we'll known the moasses adherng TO
1Of gets washed off circulating
appear that this mOaes adds the quantity mo-
1asses, but is absorbed in the following boilngs
The OF the in
mills where pans have small gates the practice to boil
stiff and qulfy the massecue before dschaging by charge
No. nolasses
There is diversity of opinion ovanaees
of slow, quick boiling pan personally prefer afast boil
ing pan as there is saving of steam
The addition of moases the strike OF good
deal of effect the time of drying such strike told
pure strike will dry in one-thrd Of the having
large quantity mOasses, but have
teria difference here, possibly because
moasses.
We have comparative dryers ard without
but it would be interesting know how far the DRYERS
affect the keeping qualities Of the sugar nowadays or at
least few mills, driving the No
cenruga in is generally conceded that practice
that gives advantages compared with
gained With Hersey Dryer GIT wash grades
OF but without this apparatus very few mills
this practice
The economical sugar to manu-
factue important and generally admitted that
polarizing from 965 degrees Q75 degrees
sugar make and ship grade there
should be little loss in polarization through damaged
sugar as possible
