A conveyor/shredder/3-roll mill system was modified to process 30-cm billets of sweet sorghum and to develop basic design information. Percent juice extracted increased with throughput until the system plugged. Maximum operable rates for whole plants and stalks were respectively 19 and 25 kg/min, and about 48 percent of total crop sugar was recovered from either plants or stalks.
