The VACUCAM® Sugar Liquefication system works by forcing pressurized fluid through the Ejector Mixer's unique, patented annular nozzel. As the fluid passess through the nozzle it becomes finely atomized and creates a high velocity, hollow jet - a near perfect vacuum- into which the dry sugar is drawn. 
This action maximizes the reactive surface areas of both the dry sugar and the liquid before contact is actually made between the two substances. Once contact occurs, the result is high speed, instantaneous, and complete wetting and dissolution of the sugar granule into syrup.
The Semi-Bulk Sugar Liquefication Process system is available on a pre-packaged modular skid in three process options: Automated Continuous Steady State, Automated Continuous Batch, and Automated In-Line Batch recirculation. You select the process based on your capacity and existing process needs and logistical requirements of your facility.
Continuous Steady State
The Steady State Liquefication Process is available in 7.6 MT/HR (~18,000#/HR) and 18 MT/HR (40,000@/HR) standard dry capacity units and is designed to receive and liquefy dry sugar to the desired set-point Brix value. These units are fully automated and make maintaining quality control easy. Dry sugar and liquid are mixed in the Ejector Mixer and feedback from the hot water proportioning valve, which responds to the liquid density meter, controls the addition of makeup water to maintain syrup concentration within specified control limits. After the finished syrup is delivered to the tank, the transfer pump acts in response to th tank level set-point and will pump finished syrup to storage to maintain tank level set-point while the recirculation valve and Brix meter allow the tank to be circulated until the minimum set-level and Brix level set-point are reached and maintained.
In-Line Batch Recycle
The VACUCAM® In-Line Batch Recycle Sugar Liquefication Process receives and liquefies up to 13.6 MT/HR of dry sugar to the desired Brix level. The process is used for lower production requirements and has a lower initial cost than the Continuous Steady State Process. Sugar can be supplied from paper bags, bulk bags, bulk silo, or bulk trailer and, unlike the Steady State Process, the system is supplied with heated process water or recycled syrup from one or more batch mix tanks which can be remotely located. The recycled liquid is pumped to the Ejector Mixer which is mounted on a modular in-line skid structure and de-aeration tank positioned beside the dry sugar feed option. After the liquid and sugar pass through the Ejector Mixer, the syrup is discharged into the de-aeration tank. The syrup from the de-aeration tank is then recycled back to the the initial mix tank. A strainer basked is mounted in the recirculation line back to the Ejector Mixer.
A heated mix tank or an in-line heat exchanger is required to add additional BTU's to the system to maintain operating temperature. In addition, the Brix level can be monitored with a liquid density meter to control set-point concentration and the process can be provided with a dedicated PLC controller or can be operated by existing plan PLC control systems.
Continuous Batch
Designed to produce syrup in a self-contained unit and automatically deliver the finished batch to the process surge tank or syrup storage tank, the VACUCAM® Continuous Batch Recycle Sugar Liquefication Process is available in two standard capacities: 7.5 MT/HR (67 Brix) or 10 MT/HR syrup. Like the In-Line Batch Process, this process can be fed from paper bags, bulk bags, bulk silo, or bulk trailer. Locate the unit next to the dry sugar supply and add hot water to the batch tank. As either fresh hot water or recycled liquid is fed into the Ejector Mixer, dry sugar is drawn up into the vacuum in the Ejector Mixer and instantaneously dissolved. The syrup is then discharged into the batch t ank where Brix level is monitored, stopping the powder feed when Brix level has been reached. The finished batch is then pumped into the surge or storage tank. When the transfer is complete, the systems PLC Controls automatically initiate the next batch process.
