(BSES, 1979) -
An investigation of factors affecting ash in first expressed juice in the Rocky Point mill area
(BSES, 1981)Because of a deep concern at the level of ash in Rocky Point sugars and the lack of information on inorganic composition of juices entering the factory the management of W H Heck and Sons requested BSES to undertake an ... -
Data-base and data handling programs for Plant Data Record
(BSES, 1981)The information contained in the BSES Plant Data Record is stored in computer data-bases for reporting and reference. Data for both the 1979 and 1980 seasons is stored at Bundaberg and reports for each of these years were ... -
Fibre characteristics of cane - results of measurements carried out at Bundaberg during 1986 season
(BSES, 1986)During September, 1986 the decision was made to test for extreme fibre characteristics all cane varieties which are prospective Q canes, in the last season before release. The purpose of these tests was to obtain some ... -
Evaluation of high open area screens
(BSES, 1987)Following the offer from ANI-Sargeants of several sets of high open area screens for testing, trials were arranged at Fairymead and Millaquin Mills, as it has been the contention that higher open areas would allow higher ... -
Factory scale trials with laser produced stainless steel screens : Bingera mill 1987 season
(BSES, 1987)The main objective in the tests carried out at Bingera was to compare the performance of two adjacent, similar, BMA K1000 centrifugals, one of which was fitted with a new set of standard Cr-Ni screens, and the other with ... -
Evaluation of laser produced stainless steel screens
(BSES, 1987)In an effort to develop a more acceptable alternative to the chrome-nickel screens presently in use, BSES approached the CSIRO Division of Manufacturing Technology in Sydney towards the end of 1985 to ascertain the feasibility ... -
Fibre characteristics of cane - results of measurements carried out at Bundaberg during 1987 season
(BSES, 1987)During September, 1987 a total of twenty-three samples of cane were tested for extreme fibre characteristics at BSES in Bundaberg. The main purpose of this testing program, which was introduced during 1986 season, is to ... -
A wedgewire support for screens in continuous centrifugals, Bingera mill - 1987 season
(BSES, 1988)Discussions between Bundaberg Sugar Company, the Surescreen Group and BSES resulted in BSES sponsoring the installation of a wedgewire backing screen in a K1000 basket at Bingera Mill during 1987 season. This report ... -
Open area and screen resistance measurements on fugal screens
(BSES, 1988)To determine whether the decrease in fugal capacity was due to the working screen or the wedgewire backing supporting it, a series of measurements were carried out on test specimens cut from the top, middle and bottom of ... -
Hygroscopic water in sugarcane : final report 114
(CSR, 1990)At the 1989 Workshop on Cane Analysis conducted by the Sugar Research Council it emerged that the best technical method of cane analysis for the Australian industry was the direct cane analysis method (DCA) employing ... -
Towards functional specifications of a sampling scheme for commercial sampling of prepared cane : final report V89/17
(BSES, 1990)Payment by Australian sugar mills to sugar can growers has for many years been based on samples of "first expressed juice" - the juice squeezed from prepared cane at the number one mill. This basis for payment is ... -
