AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION
Soil preparation and correction, Planting, Fertilization, Fertigation, Pest Control, diseases and weeds, are some of the several operations that make up the cane production process, making available in quantity and quality suitable for harvesting
HARVEST
Our sugarcane fields are harvested through a mechanized process, using leading edge technologies such as high performance machines, high precision GPS, 4G communication, among others.
TRANSPORT
Then, high-capacity trucks transport the cane from the cane fields to the mills
MILLING
The sugarcane is then milled for the extraction of the broth, used in the manufacture of sugar and ethanol. This process also results in bagasse, intended for the production of bioelectricity.
TREATMENT
The broth is treated for the removal of soluble and insoluble impurities. This is done by heating, chemical treatment, settling and sifting.
EVAPORATION
Once treated, the clade undergoes the evaporation process, which removes more than 75% of the water. The result is a concentrated syrup.
BAKING
Baking performs the crystallization and recovery of the sucrose from the syrup, which is turning into a mass.
CENTRIFUGATION
After baking, the dough is centrifuged for physical separation of the sugar. The centrifuged sugar is washed with hot water and steam, which generates molasses as a by-product.
DRYING
In the process, the sugar loses all its moisture and is then sifted. At the end of drying, the sugar is ready to be marketed.
