“Effective Foam Control for Smooth, Hygienic & Efficient Sugar Processing.”
Foam formation is a common challenge in sugar manufacturing, particularly during juice extraction,
clarification, evaporation, and fermentation stages. Excessive foam not only disrupts processing but
also leads to loss of valuable sugar, reduced capacity utilization, and hygiene concerns. Defoamers are
specialized process chemicals designed to control and eliminate foam quickly and effectively, ensuring
smooth operations in sugar mills.
Technical Overview
Defoamers are formulated using silicone-based, mineral oil-based, or ester-based active agents, combined
with emulsifiers and stabilizers. They work by:
Spreading rapidly over the foam surface.
Collapsing foam bubbles and preventing reformation.
Maintaining foam-free operation over extended periods.
Applications in Sugar Processing
Cane Juice Extraction & Clarification – Prevents foam formation that affects settling and
filtration.
Evaporation & Crystallization – Ensures smooth concentration of juice without foam overflow.
Fermentation (for ethanol/alcohol plants attached to sugar mills) – Controls foam in fermenters,
enhancing yield.
Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) – Reduces foam in wastewater treatment systems.
Key Benefits for Sugar Mills
Rapid knockdown of existing foam and prevention of new foam formation.
Improved process efficiency and throughput.
Reduced sugar losses caused by foam carryover.
Protection of equipment from overflow and contamination.
Cost savings with controlled chemical dosage.
Food-grade & non-toxic options available for safe use in sugar processing.
Why Choose Our Defoamers?
Wide range: Silicone-based, non-silicone, and ester-based formulations.
Designed for high-temperature and high-alkalinity conditions in sugar processing.
Effective at low dosages, ensuring cost efficiency.
Stable and long-lasting performance even under harsh process conditions.
Conclusion:
Defoamers are an indispensable aid for sugar mills, ensuring foam-free, efficient, and hygienic
processing at every stage. By incorporating the right defoamer, sugar industries can achieve higher
productivity, reduced losses, and consistent product quality.
