Efficient. Continuous. Engineered for Tomorrow.
SED’s Spray Continuous Pan® (SCP®) is a modular, vertical continuous pan featuring multiple chambers with patented honeycomb calandria. The central six-blade mechanical circulator promotes uniform massecuite circulation, ensuring consistent crystal growth, higher exhaustion, and efficient heat transfer. Advanced automation with chamber bypass and overhead storage tanks ensures uninterrupted operation, superior cleaning cycle efficiency, and reliable feed supply.
Designed for high-capacity, continuous sugar production, SCP® sets new benchmarks in operational efficiency, product quality, and energy optimization.
How It Works
Heat Transfer & Evaporation
Steam or vapor condenses on the honeycomb tube exteriors, transferring heat to the massecuite inside. Low ΔT operation ensures efficient evaporation, controlled crystallization, and minimal sucrose degradation.
Massecuite Circulation
The large central downtake and honeycomb tube arrangement ensure uniform flow throughout the calandria, eliminating stagnant zones, preventing localized overheating, and maintaining consistent concentration.
Crystallization & Suspension
As the massecuite becomes supersaturated, crystal growth begins. Continuous circulation keeps crystals uniformly suspended, producing homogeneous crystals with narrow size distribution. Vapors are either condensed or reused through MVR, reducing energy consumption.
Massecuite can be discharged from bottom chambers via pumping or from upper chambers by gravity, depending on plant layout and type of massecuite (Refined, A, B, or C), enabling continuous processing with minimal interruptions.
Key Advantages
Superior Product Quality
Uniform crystallization, reduced false grains, and minimal color inclusion ensure consistently high-quality sugar.
Higher Yield & Exhaustion
Optimized circulation and efficient heat transfer maximize sugar recovery.
Energy Efficiency
Low ΔT operation with MVR compatibility reduces steam and power consumption.
Versatile Operation
Handles all types of massecuites and a wide range of capacities with modular chamber design.
Automation & Ease of Operation
Integrated DCS-enabled automation allows real-time monitoring, chamber bypass, and control with minimal human intervention.
Reduced Operating Costs
Prefabricated single-piece chambers, absence of tube plates, and efficient NCG extraction minimize installation time, washing steam consumption, and sugar recirculation.
