At Uttam Sucrotech, we specialize in delivering efficient and sustainable operations and maintenance solutions for sugar plants, ensuring maximum productivity, reliability and environmental responsibility.

The sugar production process begins when the harvested sugarcane is transported to the Sugar Plants. From here, the cane undergoes a series of advanced processing steps to extract and refine sugar.

1. Cane Preparation & Juice Extraction

• Sugarcane is initially prepared in fibrous form using cane cutters and a fibrizer.

• Juice is extracted through a milling tandem comprising 3, 4, or 6 rollers.

• The extracted juice, mixed with water, is then transferred to the boiling house for processing.

​

  2. Juice Treatment & Clarification

• The raw juice is heated and treated with milk of lime, sulphur dioxide, or phosphoric acid to remove impurities.

• After further heating, the treated juice is sent to clarifiers for continuous settling.

• Clear juice collected from the clarifier is concentrated into syrup through multiple-effect evaporators.

  3. Crystallization & Sugar Recovery

• The syrup is bleached with approved chemicals and sent to vacuum pans for concentration and sugar crystal formation.

• Crystals are separated from molasses using centrifugal machines, then dried, graded, weighed, and packed for storage and distribution.

  4. By-products Utilization

• Press Mud: Residue from clarifiers, used as organic manure in cane fields, supporting sustainable farming practices.

• Bagasse: Fibrous residue from cane crushing, used as a primary fuel for steam generation in boilers. This reduces dependence on the state electricity board and promotes energy self-reliance.

• Molasses: A valuable by-product further fermented and distilled to produce alcohols, industrial spirits, and ethanol for blending with petroleum products.
