BMA
Sugar Engineering And Processing Equipment
Drum Dryer
When drying sugar crystals it is important that the syrup clinging to the crystal surface also undergoes crystallization. This process takes both time and crystal nuclei.
Fluidized bed cooler
For machinery, individual process steps or entire factories – whenever it comeand continuous centrifugals, BMA has been successful across the globe and across sectors.
Drying and cooling combined
By combining a drum dryer with a fluidized-bed cooler, the advantages of both systems complement each other. The result is a design that is highly attractive in terms of energy efficiency and offers an excellent solution, no matter whether it is used for new plants or for expansion programmes.
Batch centrifugal E series
Centrifugals are the most dynamic type of machinery used in sugar production. At high rotational speeds, the sugar crystals are separated from the mother liquor. In the design of our centrifugals, our top priorities are excellent performance, as well as a long service life and outstanding reliability.
K3080 continuous centrifugal
Meet the new addition to our product range of continuous centrifugals machine: the K3080. It has excellent DNA: with more than 500 centtrifugal machines commissioned since 2008, the continuous centrifugal K3 series has been setting new standards in centrifugal design.
K3300F continuous centrifugal
The implementation of continuous processes in production is one factor that ensures efficiency. In sugar production, the continuous centrifugals from BMA ensure continued output coupled with maximum throughput. And even more. Another asset of our centrifugals is their outstanding user-friendliness.
Pan seeding systems
When slurry is used as seed for pan boiling, the technological and economic demand that the product crystallizate be low in aggregates and free of fine crystals cannot be met.
Batch pans
Experience gathered in more than one hundred years in the design and construction of batch pans and know-how acquired from vertical continuous pans (VKT) now determine the design of modern pans.
Slurry mills
Especially for seeding as a preliminary stage of product crystallization proper, the use of a slurry suspension is now state of the art. BMA’s supply line of crystallization equipment also includes a slurry mill operating by the ball mill principle, using hardened steel pebbles.
Cooling Crystalisers
A new generation of efficient coolers. Perfectly equipped for constant crystal growth and maximum yield.
Molasses/massecuite mingler
The BMA massecuite mixer permits optimum mixing of heated molasses and cooling massecuite. Reducing the crystal content and raising the product temperature diminishes the viscosity of the massecuite, subject to requirements, by up to 1/5 of the original figure.
Massecuite pumps
After many months of development, BMA will be presenting a new generation of massecuite pumps in summer 2018: the DRP series. Like its predecessor, the new series has been designed entirely with the requirements of the sugar industry in mind.
Vertical continuous pans
were developed to ensure maximum exhaustion or crystal content for a wide range of massecuite purities in the beet and cane sugar factories and sugar refineries. To date, VKT have been installed in more than 75 factories, meeting very high requirements: process continuity, massecuite with a high crystal content, and a small footprint for outside installation.
Falling-film evaporators
The way an evaporator plant works has a crucial impact on the heat economy of sugar factories and refineries. Perfectly tailored to the overall process, it allows effective action to increase the energy efficiency of upstream or downstream process steps.
WVT Fluidized bed system
Fluidised-bed steam dryers (WVT) from BMA dry the pressed pulp produced in beet sugar factories to obtain a dry substance content of about 90 %. Use of a WVT can also make ecological sense with other types of biomass.
