Sugar grinding and recrystallization system
Optimize your sugar production with a system that integrates grinding and recrystallization, ensuring high-quality, shelf-stable products without additives.
Processes and Recrystallizes Sugar for Optimal Quality
The Sugarplex SX Flow from Hosokawa Alpine is a space-efficient sugar processing system tailored for confectionery and sugar industries. This system combines grinding and recrystallization, utilizing a pressure-shock resistant design for continuous operation without additional filters or fans. Ideal for producing high-quality icing sugar, it achieves fineness values of 99% < 450 µm at throughputs of up to 3 tons per hour. The integrated pin disc design enables precise particle size control and easy cleaning, ensuring minimal downtime and maintenance costs. Applications include food production, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, processing materials like sugar, spices, and herbal teas into finely milled powders. Designed with ATEX zone 22 compliance, it features a three-phase motor with speeds up to 145 m/sec, offering efficient energy use through frequency converter adjustments. Constructed from durable stainless steel, it provides robust operation in various industrial environments. Customizable features and engineering support are available to meet specific production requirements.
