Efficient. Compact. Engineered for Superior Molasses Processing
SED’s Molasses Conditioner is an innovative direct-contact device designed to dissolve sugar crystals in molasses efficiently - without adding water. By utilizing heat from non-condensable gases (NCGs) or low-pressure vapors, it delivers significant steam and power savings. The compact design features a static mixer, eliminating mechanical stirring and reducing maintenance requirements.
Ideal for modern sugar plants, the Molasses Conditioner ensures consistent product quality, energy efficiency, and smooth integration into existing process layouts.
How it Works
Direct Contact Heating & Mixing
The molasses flows through a corrugated shell with structured deflectors, creating vigorous mixing through direct contact.
Energy-Efficient Heating
Heat from low-pressure vapors and NCGs is used to warm the molasses, promoting crystal dissolution without water addition.
Minimal Temperature Approach
Operates at a 0-1°C approach temperature, maximizing energy efficiency and preserving molasses quality.
Stable Operation
Handles fluctuating vapor pressures without flooding or mechanical agitation.
Automation & Control
Process parameters are monitored and controlled via automation, with manual override for added operational flexibility.
