Monitoring Sugar Cane at Reception with NIR

Quality control of sugar cane is a crucial process in the sugar production industry, aimed at ensuring the consistent and high-quality output of sugar and its by-products.

Upon harvest, the sugar cane is transported to the mill for processing. Here, rigorous quality control measures are enforced at every stage. The cane is cleaned, shredded, and pressed to extract the sugary juice, which undergoes multiple purification steps before crystallization. Various quality parameters like fiber, sucrose, mositure content, or color are analyzed during the refining process.

Any deviations from the set quality parameters trigger corrective actions to prevent compromising the final product. Adhering to strict quality control protocols ensures that the sugar and its derivatives meet regulatory requirements and consumer expectations.
