ASSESSMENT OF ADVANTAGES OF USING A DIFFUSION PULSATING APPARATUS FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF THE DIFFUSION SECTION OF A SUGAR FACTORY

The sugar industry in Russia plays a huge role ensuring the country’s food security and is strategic industry. Of 90 factories today, third of are closed due to unprofitability associated with high cost production low feed capacity. raw material for beet, mainly domestically produced. locations most small municipalities, which they town-forming enterprises. For revival factories, it necessary increase their capacity, difficult do fact that diffusion section each factory there one large-sized imported apparatus mechanical type, does not allow increasing capacity any other way than purchasing new, more high-performance expensive type. In current conditions uncertainty disruption trade relations countries, new suppliers needed itself, would at least be inferior Western apparatus. Russian company Ingehim has developed pulsating (DPA) without movable transporting devices, reduces energy consumption, operating costs lowers quality requirements beet chips. test results obtained using an experimental unit showed higher juice. lightness juice was found much compared juices produced conventional apparatus, purity 5% comparable solids content, resulting additional amount per year, allowing faster return on investment.
