STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:

1. Most of Sugar in the Philippines uses a conventional method of milling to

extract juice from canes which consist of 4 roller mill, 2 cane knives, 1

shredder and 1 crusher. The problem in this process is;

a) The mill consume considerable power that it is out of

proportion to the result obtained because there is still portion

of juice in the cane that could nit be extracted by giving

pressure in it.

b) It uses tremendous amount of energy to extract the juice

from the cane.

c) The mill were very heavy and too expensive, in purchasing ,

cost of operation and maintenance.

OBJECTIVE:

To design a sugar mill that maximizes the production of sugar with less

cost using diffuser method.

To calculate a boiler that utilizes its wastes (bagasse) as fuel to produce

steam for milling and generate electricity sufficient for the plant
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY:

The great majority of cane sugar factories through out the country in

extracting juice from cane are done by the means of mill. This was the process

originally employed; it was progressively improved but never replaced.

The advantage of continues diffusion over the mill is its efficiency,

maintenance, and its price.

The mill needs tremendous power to extract the juice from the cane; but

when the bagasse was once released it will absorb an amount of its juice, as it

pass its axial plane of the roller a large portion of benefit is loss and much trouble

and power is expended in waste.

Another disadvantage of mill is their high cost, both purchase, and charge

of operation. It is acknowledge that a certain portion of juice in the cane will not

be extracted by giving pressure.

To resolve this, this study will maximize the production by using another

method of milling sugar cane. This will also generate steam to produced

electricity for the plant

 In this manner, it will be able to enhance efficiency in the production of

the sugar plant and be able to support the country in terms of producing electricity

through NPC.

The outcomes of the study will raise the production of the plant and help

the country in economic growth.

SCOPE AND DELIMITATION:

This design will focus in the processes which produce 1 kind of sugar

(raw sugar).

The focal points will be the processes, computations, progression and

design of the plant.
