    It would be good if there could be some explanation as to what is happening at every step of the process.

    @davidbwa 2 года назад +67

    Same as previous poster - I wish there were captions explaining stages.
    I already knew the basics - grow sugar cane, harvest, press it, reduce the juice.
    But I'd like to know details of some of the stages along the way of what they were doing.

      Hello davidbwa,
      Harvesting = The sugarcane stalks are actually long and oftentimes lie on the ground so the harvester has to disturb the surface soil to bring-up these stalks. Then the machine automatically cuts the stalks into short pieces for 2 reasons. 1) so that transport is not very cumbersome and 2) the stalks can also be used for planting.
      Planting 0:27 = here you can see that the machine automatically plants and covers the stalks, no need for manual labor
      Burning 0:49 = this is to reduce the amount of dried leaves and also to "DRIVE AWAY THE SNAKES AND OTHER PESTS". Of course, this is not done by everyone...some leave the dried leaves for burning later on.
      Crushing 2:05 = here the cane stalks are transported into the machine where it will be washed, crushed, transferred to other machines for the continuous process of removing the juice, filtering, heating in vats, etc.
      Burning of bagasse or crushed sugarcane stalks 2:29 = this process produces steam which powers the other machinery of the operation. The steam is also used in power generation to provide power for other electrical equipment.
      2:44 = that huge vat is where some more filtering happens, the juice inside is quite hot.
      2:50 = that's the dirt collected from the cane and juice. It can be used as fertilizer in small quantities but I had experiences where large quantities of dirt actually turns into burning charcoal in the intense heat of summer.
      2: 58 = molasses
      3:20 = centrifugal vat produces raw sugar...this is basically the 1st stage where sugar is produced.
      3:37 = this is true, the excess raw sugar is being stored in big warehouses where machinery may be used to transfer it again.
      3:48 = some more cleaning and filtering
      4:10 = another centrifugal vat producing refined sugar
      4:27 = packaging into different weight bags.

    The greatest technology in cultivation and processing of sugar cane is in Brazil, it surprised me to see that they still set fire to make the koilheita, here in Brazil this has not been done for many years, now all the cane is used, nothing is lost and the atmosphere is no longer polluted with big fires in the plantations!

      @@lego4av Fire is used to get rid of the trash (leaves etc of the cane prior to harvesting). In Australia, not too many sugar cane growing areas use fire anymore to do this. They harvest the cane with the trash. As it's only the cane that's sent to the mill for processing, the trash is used to make a "trash blanket" or effectively, a layer of mulch for the cane stools.

    There are other types of sugar cane, the "Magenta-Red cane" with a shorter internode and like 40mm in diameter, and the Juicy and softer to bite the "Bluish-black cane" with a normal 150mm more or less internode and up to 1inch in diameter, and the one were seeing here is the "bamboo type cane" with longer internode up to 1ft, which is the least preferred to plant by farmers due to the skinny appearance, and weight is not that favorable. Less weight means a failure or a decrease in profit.

    Thank u. Nice informative video. But if you could put at least one phrase about each step specially those closed chambers we can't see what is happening inside, I'm sure that experts or those who work in the industry will know. But new ppl to the thing won't. Thank u.

      D. An,
      Harvesting = The sugarcane stalks are actually long and oftentimes lie on the ground so the harvester has to disturb the surface soil to bring-up these stalks. Then the machine automatically cuts the stalks into short pieces for 2 reasons. 1) so that transport is not very cumbersome and 2) the stalks can also be used for planting.
      Planting 0:27 = here you can see that the machine automatically plants and covers the stalks, no need for manual labor
      Burning 0:49 = this is to reduce the amount of dried leaves and also to "DRIVE AWAY THE SNAKES AND OTHER PESTS". Of course, this is not done by everyone...some leave the dried leaves for burning later on.
      Crushing 2:05 = here the cane stalks are transported into the machine where it will be washed, crushed, transferred to other machines for the continuous process of removing the juice, filtering, heating in vats, etc.
      Burning of bagasse or crushed sugarcane stalks 2:29 = this process produces steam which powers the other machinery of the operation. The steam is also used in power generation to provide power for other electrical equipment.
      2:44 = that huge vat is where some more filtering happens, the juice inside is quite hot.
      2:50 = that's the dirt collected from the cane and juice. It can be used as fertilizer in small quantities but I had experiences where large quantities of dirt actually turns into burning charcoal in the intense heat of summer.
      2: 58 = molasses
      3:20 = centrifugal vat produces raw sugar...this is basically the 1st stage where sugar is produced.
      3:37 = this is true, the excess raw sugar is being stored in big warehouses where machinery may be used to transfer it again.
      3:48 = some more cleaning and filtering
      4:10 = another centrifugal vat producing refined sugar
      4:27 = packaging into different weight bags.

    • @Jason-dy6qy
      @Jason-dy6qy 2 года назад +4

      The plant is steam powered, using the byproduct known as Bagasse to burn. The steam is then used to turn electric motors to create power. Very self sustaining operations.
