Industrial systems
A robust pressure-vessel system configured for compatible industrial transfer duties.
Explore the solutionBy material
Move sugar magma with care.
Assess a pneumatic alternative to rotary lobe pumping for suitable sugar magma. Check crystals, solids passages, air contact and representative product trials.
Understand the material. Define the duty.
Avoiding a rotating pumping element can reduce one source of mechanical interaction with crystals. Actual crystal preservation depends on valves, pipe velocity, product properties and operating conditions; confirm with process trials.
What the system design addresses
Provide Brix, temperature, viscosity and crystal size distribution. Review valve passage size and residence time. High-Brix massecuite is outside the standard recommended scope and must not be treated as ordinary magma.
The data that makes selection accurate.
| Data group | Details to provide |
|---|---|
| Product properties | Viscosity at operating temperature, density, Brix where applicable, solids or crystals, foaming and air-contact restrictions. |
| Transfer conditions | Required average and peak flow, horizontal distance, elevation, pipe diameter, bends, back pressure and receiver conditions. |
| Utilities & hygiene | Available air pressure and sustained capacity, power supply, cleaning method, material requirements and applicable site standards. |

Explore the solutionTechnical questions, answered
Is high-Brix massecuite recommended?
High-Brix massecuite is not a standard recommended duty. Sugar magma and massecuite are not interchangeable selection terms. Provide viscosity, temperature, Brix and crystal content before a suitability decision.
Does a dual-vessel system guarantee constant flow?
Alternating vessels can support continuous feeding and reduce transfer interruptions. Instantaneous outlet flow is not automatically constant. Valve transitions, air supply, pipeline resistance and receiver design must be evaluated for the required flow profile.
