Sugar Dissolving Systems DI-SUGAR™

The continuous GEA sugar dissolving system type DI-SUGAR-H™ is a reliable system for the production of pasteurized sugar syrup for the beverage industry.

For the production with a continuous sugar dissolving system a sufficiently dimensioned granulated sugar silo as well as sufficient tank capacity for sugar syrup. 

Granulated sugar is fed from the silo into the dissolving tank by means of a frequency-controlled conveyor. The pre-dissolving pump generates high turbulences in the dissolving tanks which leads to a homogenous sugar suspension. A partial flow (= system capacity) is continuously fed to the short-time heating unit. The temperature and the turbulences in the heat exchanger ensure the quick dissolving of the sugar granulates. The hot keeping zone is designed in a way that the required hot keeping time is kept and the sugar syrup is deaerated.

A downstream filter provides a particle-free sugar syrup. By passing through the regenerative section and cooling section the sugar syrup is cooled down to 25 °C and is then conveyed to the storage tanks. 

To ensure a high product quality, the monitoring of temperature and brix value are an integral part of the DI-SUGAR-H™.

• High capacity up to 30.000 l/h at 67°Bx max. 
• Fully automatic process flow 
• High heat regeneration 
• Logging of Brix values and temperatures 
• Low wear, i.e. low maintenance required 
• Pasteurizer included in dissolving system

For the production with a continuous sugar dissolving system a sufficiently dimensioned granulated sugar silo as well as sufficient tank capacity for sugar syrup is required. 

A dissolving tank is filled with well-tempered water. Afterwards, by means of a frequency-controlled conveyor, granulated sugar is supplied from the silo into the dissolving tank. High turbulences in the dissolving tank generated by the pre-dissolving pump ensure a quick dissolving of the sugar granulates. 

A partial flow (system capacity) is continuously passed on from a separating room, which only allows the liquid phase of the sugar suspension to pass, to a deaerating tank. A downstream filter provides a particle-free sugar syrup. 

The product circulates in the system until the set Brix value is reached. Then, the pipes are cleared so that the product can pass on to the buffer tank. By means of dissolving water in counterflow, the heat is recovered which results in a favorable energy balance. To ensure a high product quality, the monitoring of the Brix value is an integral part of the DI-SUGAR-C™. 

• High capacity up to 30.000 l/h at 64° Bx max. 
• Fully automatic process flow 
• Logging of Brix value 
• Low wear, i.e. low maintenance required

The required quantity of well-tempered dissolving water is fed into the dissolving tank. When the agitator has been started, the granular sugar is supplied from the silo truck directly into the dissolving tank. The agitating capacity is dimensioned in a way that the dissolving time for the granules is as short as possible. After termination of the dissolving procedure, the sugar solution can be supplied into a buffer tank by passing a short time heating and/or filter.

• Low investment costs 
• Low wear, i.e. low maintenance required 
• The system can be cleaned
