The Sugar Industry: Gearboxes For The Resource of The Future

The sugar extraction and processing industry is a growing market.

The demand for this material is constantly growing, and as a result producers find themselves increasing productivity and improving plant efficiency to meet it.

Sugar is, in fact, a resource that has recently turned out to have multiple uses. It can be used, through its transformation, as:

• food
• alcohol
• natural fertilizer
• fossil fuel (ethanol)
• paper
• sustainable thermal and electric energy.

Gearboxes for sugar production and processing

Sugar production traditionally consists of several phases:

• the preparation of sugar cane
• the extraction of the juice from the cane
• screening and heating for the removal of impurities
• purification and filtration
• the evaporation
• the crystallization
• the centrifugation
• the drying.

Throughout the process, the use of machinery is crucial and, consequently, power transmission plays a key role.

What the market is currently asking for is that machine downtimes are very short, and consequently even the gearboxes must adapt to the needs.

Riduttori Italia has chosen to enter the sugar industry as a reliable partner for graboxes. We are convinced that our consolidated experience in the design and production of large gearboxes for heavy use is the best answer to what this sector requires.

We can study tailor-made solutions for application on various machines used in sugar factories. Planetary gearboxes, multi-drive and heavy-duty transmission systems for:

• conveyors
• triturators
• mills
• cooking bubbles
• hydro extractors
• dryers.

We adhere to industry standards in design, innovation and quality in manufacturing gearboxes.

We operate globally to offer tailor-made gearbox solutions in major growth markets for sugar processing such as Brazil, India, Pakistan, Thailand, China and the United States.
