Agitators and Mixers for Cooking and Circulation in Sugar and Ethanol Plants

Overview

Agimix offers robust solutions for the cooking and circulation line in sugar and ethanol plants, integrating mechanical circulators and vertical agitators to pans and process reactors. This equipment is designed to optimize the heat and mass transfer, ensuring efficient homogenization of the broth and syrup, essential for the quality of the final product.

Our solutions are developed to meet the rigorous demands of the sugar-energy industry, from juice preparation to the final stages of cooking and crystallization. With 15 years of experience in the market, Agimix has established itself as a specialist in industrial agitation and mixing equipment, providing cutting-edge technology to improve the operational and energy efficiency of our customers.

The application of mechanical circulators in cooking pots, for example, accelerates the evaporation of water and promotes uniformity in temperature and concentration, resulting in faster and more homogeneous cooking. This directly impacts the quality of sugar and the efficiency of ethanol production, minimizing losses and optimizing yield.

In addition to circulators, Agimix designs and manufactures customized reactors and process tanks, ensuring perfect integration of agitation systems. Our complete process plants are configured to maximize productivity and safety, with a focus on durability and low maintenance of equipment, even in aggressive environments such as power plants.

Frequently asked questions

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.

What is the main function of a mechanical circulator in a sugar cooking pot?

The main function of a mechanical circulator in a cooking pot is to promote the homogenization of the broth or syrup and optimize the heat transfer. This accelerates the evaporation of water, uniforms the temperature and concentration, resulting in more efficient and faster cooking, essential for the quality of the sugar.

How do Agimix shakers contribute to ethanol production?

Agimix agitators contribute to the production of ethanol mainly in the wort fermentation stage and in the homogenization of by-products. They ensure adequate mixing of the components, optimizing the yeast action and the efficiency of the fermentation process, in addition to preparing the must for the following stages.

What type of agitator is best suited for cooking syrup in plants?

For cooking syrup in plants, the mechanical circulator is the most suitable type of agitator, often integrated into the cooking pan. It is designed to deal with high viscosity fluids and high temperatures, ensuring the circulation and homogenization necessary for sugar crystallization.

Is Agimix equipment resistant to corrosion caused by sugarcane juice?

Yes, Agimix equipment is designed with highly corrosion-resistant materials, such as AISI 316L stainless steel, especially for aggressive environments such as sugarcane juice. This guarantees the durability and integrity of the equipment, minimizing the need for maintenance and extending its useful life.

Is it possible to customize a process reactor for my sugar and ethanol plant?

Yes, Agimix offers customization of process reactors to meet the specific needs of each sugar and ethanol plant. Our engineers work together with the customer to design solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing processes, optimizing performance and efficiency.

How important is homogenization in the sugar crystallization stage?

Homogenization is crucial in the sugar crystallization stage to ensure uniform crystal formation and maximum sugar recovery. Inadequate mixing can lead to the formation of irregular crystals and loss of yield, directly impacting the quality and quantity of the final product.

In addition to agitators, does Agimix supply other equipment for sugar-energy plants?

Yes, in addition to agitators and mechanical circulators, Agimix supplies a complete range of equipment for sugarcane plants, including tanks and process reactors, as well as complete process plants. We offer integrated solutions for different stages of sugar and ethanol production.
