Pneumatic grading applied to sugarcane products
There are secondary products from processing sugar cane, consisting of light particles having irregular elongated forms and falling into various size fractions: bagasso up to 5 mm, bagassilo 5-0.3 mm, and meole < 0.3 mm. These contain water, since they are obtained in the early stages of making cane sugar. Much of the bagasso and bagassilo is burned in situ in steam boilers at the sugar plants. Also, the various fractions are used in making paper, wood-straw board, and as ingredients for fodder and fertilizers, in addition to raw material in furfural production. These uses require grading and drying. In pneumatic grading, one uses the outgoing combustion products from the steam boilers at the plants and at the same time provides drying. Experiments were conducted in order to perform design calculations on grading these products.
