 The dual-purpose machine functions as juicer of sweet sorghum and crusher of sugarcane.  It acts as sweet sorghum juicer when the top roller rotates in the opposite direction as the bottom rollers.  It is converted to a sugarcane crusher when:

  1. Gears are modified due to adjustments in the gaps between the feed rollers and the discharge rollers.
  2. The machine’s legs are extended, allowing the extracted juice to flow from the bottom of the pan to a collecting container.
  3. There are provisions to nail the legs onto a wooden trunk.

It is easy to operate, requires low maintenance, lightweight, portable, and can adapt to electric or engine prime mover.

Compared to the previous model (2011), the sugarcane crusher’s main advantages are: 

  1. Faster fabrication as a result of its welded roller frame
  2. More compact because of its V-belt idler.

     This equipment is designed to extract juice from sugarcane using a two-cylinder engine that is connected to a transmission system which reduces speed and produces the torque required for crushing.

The sugarcane crusher addresses the increasing demand for a more efficient juice extraction to supply the needs for both sugar and ethanol.

It is a machine typically made up of a frying vessel, an oil pre-heating vessel, a vacuum pump, and a control panel that is designed to deep-fry fruits, vegetables, fish and meat.

Vacuum frying is a method that uses less oil and requires no preservative.

Vacuum-fried food products have reduced oil and water contents so that a high quality crisp texture is achieved while flavour consistency and color of food are maintained.

Vacuum frying is a method that will enhance the performance and productivity of Food Processing Firms (FPFs).

The Vacuum Evaporator has an 80-liter capacity that uses an LPG-fired burner as heat source and a vacuum pump that sucks out the water vapour.

This equipment produces food products such as evaporated milk and tomato paste for ketchup.

Vacuum evaporation effectively preserves concentrated solid and liquid products so that shelf life is prolonged without sacrificing product quality.

Vacuum evaporated products have reduced weight and volume minimizing packaging requirement.

Spray drying is a technique of using hot gas to produce a dry powder after rapidly drying a liquid or slurry.

The Spray Dryer works with the mechanism of separating the solute or suspension particles as a solid and the solvent as vapour.  It makes use of a spray nozzle that disperses the liquid or slurry into a controlled drop size spray.

This technology is widely used in the production of dry solids in the form of powdery substance or granules such as in the preparation of pharmaceutical products, beverages, food, colourings, and plant extracts.

Spray drying is a method that will enhance the performance and productivity of Food Processing Firms (FPFs).
