Maximize Extraction. Minimize Power Consumption.
SED’s Milling Systems, also known as Milling Tandems, are precision-engineered units designed to extract maximum juice from prepared sugarcane with optimal energy efficiency. Featuring Three-Roller Mills with independently driven rollers, VFD-controlled motors, and integrated feeding mechanisms like the Toothed Underfeed Roller (TUFR), these systems ensure uniform load distribution, high juice recovery, and smooth bagasse handling.
Built for continuous operation and energy efficiency, SED Milling Systems combine automation, precision engineering, and robust construction to deliver consistent performance while reducing operational costs.
