High grade sugar recovery using a continuous centrifuge : final report BSC25
(Bundaberg Sugar company Limited, 1990)This project report describes the conversion of an existing batch high grade centrifuge to a continuous unit (termed a hybrid fugal) and an assessment of its performance characteristics. -
An on-line cane monitoring system to measure the extraneous matter present in billet sugar cane : final report CSU001
(Charles Sturt University, Sugar Research Institute, 2000)Extraneous matter (EM) in cane billets consists of two major types of material; dirt and trash. Dirt consists of primarily inorganic, rock derived material, while trash consists of primarily organic, non-productive sugar ... -
Clean Cane Workshop 2000 : SRDC final report
(SRDC, 2000)The Corporation has identified clean cane as a strategic issue that transcends several of its programs of research. -
Hardening of raw sugar : SRDC final report CSR8S
(CSR, 1991)Australia has a long term contract to supply the Soviet Union with raw sugar. While the contract seeks to avoid delivery in the coldest months, the long transport from Black Sea ports and possible delays can lead to ... -
Intelligent adaptive control in an on-line cane transport scheduler : final report UCQ2S
(SRDC, 1996)The vast majority of the Australian sugar crop is transported from the field to the sugar mill by privately owned cane railways. The total length of the permanent way exceeds 3000 km and approximately 500 x 106 tonne ... -
Monitoring cane at the mill to improve nitrogen management on the farm, a pilot study : final report CSC21A
(BSES, 1997)The project examined variation in amino-N in cane supply at the Macknade Mill during the 1996 crushing season. This variation was related to factors such as crop class, variety, time of harvest, ccs, and farm supplying the ... -
An experimental study of boiling in calandria tubes : SRDC final report JCU021
(SRDC, 2001)Raw sugar processing relies heavily on process equipment employing calandria-based heating systems to concentrate highly viscous sugar solutions, such as evaporators or vacuum pans. The design of these unit operations is ... -
Finite element and durability modelling of roller shells and shafts : final report JCU6S
(BSES, 1998)The technology that has been adopted by the Australian raw sugar industry for roller shells and shafts has evolved over the past 40 years. Apart from Crawford's theoretical calculations on shell design and Cullen's factory ... -
Crack detection and durability assessment of low speed sugar mill gears : final report JCU2S
(BSES, 1995)Heavy low speed gearing used by the Australian Sugar Industry is manufactured according to code specifications. These gears fail in several ways with the most common failure modes being the gradual surface fatigue of ... -
Determination of fracture properties of cast steels : final report JCU9S
(SRDC, 1998)Technology currently exists to estimate the structural durability of cracked sugar mill gears and mill roller shafts. Both SRDC projects JCU2S (Crack detection and durability assessment of low speed gears) and JCU6S (finite ... -
Improved train safety through improved locomotive braking performance : SRDC final report QUT019
(Sugar Research Institute, 2009)The safe operation of the cane railway, in the same way as for mainline railways, is gaining greater attention. One important aspect of safe operation is the ability to stop a train in an acceptable distance (or time). ... -
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 ... -
Factors affecting the sugar content of sugar cane in the wet tropics of Queensland: statistical analysis of ccs data at Babinda and Tully
(BSES, 1972)In the wet tropics, the sugar content of crops is usually below the state's average and is a critical factor in farm economy, particularly during years of low sugar prices. This aspect of sugar production has been the ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
A condensed report on cane deterioration trials : Fairymead, 1967 season
(BSES, 1968)Following Discussion between the Australian Producers' Association and the Director of the Bureau of Sugar Experiment Stations it was decided to carry out a series of cane deterioration trials in the South Queensland ...
