The sugar industry in Pakistan second largest after textile.
Currently there are 81 sugar mills operational in the country.

Pakistan is the worlds fifth largest sugarcane producer.
From a production level of 2.89 million tons in 1991-92, production reached four million tons in 2003-04.

It is believe that a large number of by-products obtained from raw material of sugar cane(Baggase,Molasse).
Yield :
The yield of gur or sugar from sugar cane depends mostly on
1) 2)
Quality of the cane and The efficiency of the extraction of juice.
High quality cane has a good juice content with high sugar levels . The simple three roller crushers will never extract more than 50kg of juice from each 100kg of cane.

1.

Production of Sugar Cane:

The first step in the process is the cultivation of the sugar cane. This plantation will provide the raw material of sugar industry
2.
Harvesting:
The second step is harvesting of sugar cane where it is weighed and transporting it into the mill plant. An average yield per hectare is 80 tons of sugar-cane.
3.

Crushing:
As soon as the cane reaches the mill, it is sliced ,then crushed. Generally crusher consist of three rollers or more sets of three rollers. The woody fiber left as residue is called bagasse and is used as fuel in the boilers, producing steam and electricity.
4.
Purification of the juice:

The purpose of this step is to remove the largest possible number of impurities at the beginning For this purpose lime and SO2 is adding and then heated. The final pH is adjusted to 8-8.5.
5.
Evaporation:
Clear juice is concentrated in multiple-effect vacuum evaporators to a concentration of 55-65% sucrose. Steam is generated by the boilers, which use bagasse as fuel.
6.

Crystallization:
The concentrated juice or syrup is further evaporated until it is saturated with sugar The final mass of syrup and sugar crystals is known as massecuite.
7. Centrifuging:

The massecuite is centrifuged in a basket-type centrifuge. Crystals of sugar remain in the basket, while the liquid (molasses) is thrown out through the perforations in the sides of the basket by centrifugal force. This liquor is known molasses.
The machine is a combination of shafts, gears of varying sizes, pulley, crushing rollers, bearings, fasteners, the metal framework and prime mover or power source THE CRUSHING UNIT/ ROLLER : The crushing unit is made long hollow stainless steel cylinders and stainless steel rods. These rollers were made from stainless steel because of their ability to handle food materials without getting them contaminated. Stainless steel does not rust or corrode and this makes them for food handling THE SHAFT: Basically five shafts were used in the construction of the machine. Each of crushing rollers having shaft. Gears: The bottom crushing roller shaft carries one gear on each end, while the top rollers shaft one gear, and on one end. The big gear serves to reduce the transmission speed reaching the crushing rollers and thereby increase transmission torque on each roller and therefore, the crushing force on the surface of the rollers.
BELT AND PULLEY:

They are used in transmitting motion from the motor to the drive shaft. Just like gears, they transmit motion, but unlike gears, they are flexible, meaning the center distance between driving and driven member can be changed conveniently, therefore, pulleys can transmit motion over distances.
POWER SOURCE:
The power source is electric motor which change electrical energy into mechanical energy.
The machine frame is made of stainless steel. This is used to seal up the opening through which leakage may occur.

The power from electric motor can transmit into wheel through belt.
Then power from wheel transmit into small gear through shaft.
The small gear rotate big gear from which lower crushing roller attach.
The other end of lower crushing roller having small gear which rotate upper two crushing rollers.
The gears will rotate in opposite direction will help in or out of cane in crushing rollers. The main crushing force is compression but also a little involvement of shear force.
The woody fiber left during extraction of sugar cane as residue is called bagasse.
The usual bagasse composition is given below.
The utility of bagasse as fuel depends upon its calorific value which is affected by its composition, particularly moisture content.
Bagasse is usually as combustible material which burn in furnace or boiler to produce steam which is run to turbine which run generator to produce electricity.
Bagasse
Molasses
Sugar Cane
It is used as a source of fuel in sugar mill when it burns it gives sufficient amount of heat for running mill It is also used for the production of paper It is also used for electricity cogeneration It is also used for the Cattle feed Bagasse is being used as a compost feedstock in postearthquake Haiti where humanure toilets are being implemented.
In Australia Bagasse is known as Cosw candy
Word molasses comes out from the word Mel which means Honey.
Molasses is a viscous by-product of the processing of
sugar cane, grapes or sugar beets into sugar.
Molecular Formula C6H12NNaO3S
It is used in creating alcoholic drinks such as stout and dark ales Some companies also add it to Tobacco It is also used for the production of Ethanol alternative source of fuel It is also used to promote microbe activity in the soil Molasses also contains trace amounts of vitamins and minerals Molasses is also used for the feed of Cattle to provide essential vitamins and Minerals.
