Year: 1883

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to William Lloyd Wise of 46 Lincoln's Inn Fields, in the
County of Middlesex for an Invention of IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANU-
FACTURE OR TREATMENT OF BEET SUGAR a communication from Gustav
Adolph Hagemann, a person resident at Copenhagen, in the Kingdom of
Denmark
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said William Lloyd Wise at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 6th June 1883.
WILLIAM LLOYD WISE of 46 Lincoln's Inn Fields in the County of Middlesex
"IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OR TREATMENT OF BEET SUGAR" (a com-
munication from Gustav Adolph Hagemann a person resident at Copenhagen in
the Kingdom of Denmark)
This invention has for object to remove the disagreeable smell and taste in beet
sugars caused by the presence of a thin film of beet, syrup, which covers the
crystals of sugar, For this purpose the said film is removed and there is
substituted for it a film of syrup such as cane syrup having a pleasant smell and
taste which renders the beet sugar immediately fit for consumption. The invention
is carried out in the following manner:
Ordinary beet sugar is mixed in a suitable mixing apparatus such as a pug mill
with water, syrup, or a mixture of both, to a more or less thick paste and this is
run into a centrifugal machine. As soon as the syrup, by the revolutions of this
machine, has been again removed, steam, or steam mixed with air or a little water
is in any well known manner brought to act on the crystals which by these means
are almost perfectly separated from the coating of beet syrup that was previously
on them.
As soon as this has been re-dried as far as necessary, some suitable syrup
having a pleasant smell and taste, such as cane syrup or a solution of cane sugar,
it poured into the machine and spread over the sugar which thus in a few seconds
becomes again coated with syrup.
Instead of effecting this in the centrifugal machine the coating may as well be
performed in a mixing apparatus

substituted for it a film of syrup such as cano syrup having a pleasant smell and
taste which renders the beet sugar immediately fit for consumption.
The invention is carried out'in the following manner..
- Ordinary beet sugar is mixed in a suitable mixing apparatus such as a pug'mill
with water, syrup, or a mixture of both, to a more or less thick paste, and this is
run into a centrifugal machine. As soon as the syrup, by the action of this
machine, has been again removed, steam, or steam mixed with air or a little water,
is in any well known manner brought to act on the crystals, which, by these
means, are alınost perfectly separated from the coating of beet syrup that was
previously on them. As soon as this has been re-dried as far as necessary, some
suitable syrup having a pleasant smell and taste, such as cane syrup, or a solution
of cane sugar is poured into the machine and spread over the sugar which thus in
a few seconds becomes again coated with syrup.
Instead of effecting this in the centrifugal machine the coating may equally well
be effected in a mixing apparatus.

Having described the nature of the said invention and the manner of carrying
it into practical effect as communicated to me as aforesaid I would have it
understood that what is considered to be novel and original and is therefore
claimed as the invention secured to me under the Letters Patent hereinbefore first
in part recited is,
The treatment of sugar by removal of the film or coating of beet syrup and
substitution therefor of other syrup such as sugar cane juice or other syrup having
an agreeable smell and taste substantially as described.
In witness whereof I the said William Lloyd Wise have hereunto set my hand
and seal this Sixth day of December in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and eighty three.
