A cost-ctting idea for sugar industry, a revisit

[bmbmath]

Hello,

To reduce the cost of time, labour and diesel on transport, the sugar factories should start collecting sugarcane juice from farms after a cut-off radial distance of their command area9 to collect canes to run their cogen plants).

This would save diesel on transport, assure better price of cane juice, provide organic manure to farm, good fodder to milch animals, biogas plants,small power plants in villages.

The problem of decomposition of sucrose can be addressed by nitrogen/oil-filming of the juice tankers.

This was suggested to the director, national institute of sugar, Kanpur, but no response as yet.

Can anybody move this idea to its logical end?

Please reply me at bmbmath@gmail.com or sms to me at 91 9538909542.

Hello sir,
the farmers who are away from factory can think of this novel idea but factories will have some issues Quality of sugar cane may be the expected issue, oxidation of sugar cane juice and if this idea implemented the factory capacity will not be excised properly.
farmer point of view every farmer or village should have crushing unit (Cost involved)and coordination with farmer is also a challenge and the factory will not have control over the quantity

Mr Kirti,

Oxidation of cane juice can be controlled by oil/nitrogen filming of the surface of the juice in tanker.
Crusher can be fitted to the tanker.Uniform pricing is possible; readymade juice to factory ensured; labour, time, money are saved.
The cost saved could be passed on to the consumer and producer.
