Operational manning at Rocky Point sugar mill

Rocky Point mill is the smallest mill in Australia with an annual crop size of between 200 000 and 300 000 t of cane over the past several years. As such, the manning structure at Rocky Point has evolved to be fundamentally different from most other sugar mills in...

Modelling milling train performance

This paper describes recent updates to a milling train extraction model used to assess and predict the performance of a milling train. An extension was made to the milling unit model for the bagasse mills to replace the imbibition coefficient with crushing factor and...

Capital cost model for Robert evaporators

Robert evaporators in Australian sugar factories are traditionally constructed with 44.45 mm outside diameter stainless steel tubes of ~2 m length for all stages of evaporation. There are a few vessels with longer tubes (up to 2.8 m) and smaller and larger diameters...
