Mistake…the sugar juice is not boiled at higher pressures but at lower pressures by means of vacuum systems (condensers and vacuum pumps). This allows boiling to take place at lower temperatures and thus prevents carmelizing…or scorching…of the sugar.

Never thought it was so complicated to extract sugar from cane. How about the process from beets? The video gave an intro about the source from beets, but missed on the factory process of extracting sugar from beets. Would love to see that as well.

[@Steevo69]

I work in the industry and it’s the exact same process. The only difference is our molasses product is too high in minerals and people don’t like it, but animals do, no part goes to waste.

[@sriram.natarajan]

Thank you @@Steevo69!

[@roku5071]

It's pretty cool to see the sugar beets go to the factory and how they go from beets to sugar, really cool to see the brown sugar, the sugar with molasses, in a centrifuge and spun. The molasses goes to storage vats and the now white sugar goes to be bagged and shipped. I've been to two factorys and got to see the process. Kind of neat you see our beets go from seeds to beets growing to harvest - the defoliator removing the leaves, the digger pulling the beets out of the ground, the beets then going up a chain elevator and the beets going into our trucks -the boxes of our straight trucks ( the front of the box lifts up with the end gate opening to let the beets fall out and into the hopper of the beet piler) and the live bottom trailers (a belt on the bottom of the trailer moves from the front of the trailer to the rear, then circles back to the front to push the beets out of the trailer into the hopper of the beet piler), up the conveyor belt of the piler to be piled until the rehaul semi trucks haul the beets from the pile to the factory. I've seen that part many times from more than a few of our trucks over the years. And the beets make a very loud noise when they get dropped on the roof of your beet truck 😄 definitely makes sure we drivers are awake Sometimes we will see a red sugar beets or a red and white striped sugar beets in the field, but those are fairly rare

How long does it take, from the time raw cane is delivered to the refinery to the time white sugar is sent to the packaging line? This is the only thing missing from an excellent video.

[@msterdans]

In my knowledge, depend on the process. But considering the process in the video of removing colour using sulfitation, sugar production from raw to finish product should take less than 24 hour to complete.

I can't say if it is the same for cane or beet, but in sugarbeet refining it is around 36-48 hours from dirty sugar beet to dry finished sugar

Without farmers, workers, machines, and factories, we would not have food. People seem to forget the amount of work that goes into providing society. Instead, they don't care and just think someone 'else' has an obligation to provide for them. But in reality, the only right you have is to provide for yourself. No one is obligated to provide you anything. Instead, it is a privilege, a service. And I for one, am very thankful to all our farmers, truckers, workers, scientist, and engineers that make it all possible. Without you, we would have none of this. So, thank you!!

I used to be an Elevator mechanic and we used to service the elevators in Domino's sugar factory in Yonkers New York. It's an old factory so they had some wild elevators that were grandfathered in. One elevator was called a man lift. Just a conveyer belt of steps that went up to different levels. It was not stopping and you had to jump on and jump off. It went up several flights. Let's say, you didn't want to miss your floor! Also they had what was called a "broom" closet elevator. Imagine a coffin that moves vertical. You couldn't ride it if you were claustrophobic. One thing this video doesn't tell you is... The refining process of sugar is absolutely disgusting and leaves a sickening smell of dead bodies and pure funk in the air. The domino's factory while unique, had an absolutely disgusting smell to it. What they do to sugar to make it "white" is insane.

Each evaporator should be operating at a lower pressure to get successively lower boiling temperatures.
