Has anyone been able to find a smaller scale full mill or diffuser system circa 100-1,000 tpd of cane??
what about commercial sweet sorghum juice to syrup production (in the 10-200 MT syrup per day size)??

One of our supplier advises me:
1. Dedini Brazil don't do customs now and they on-sell BOSCH from SA, smallest rotary diffuser is 6,000 tpd of sweet sorghum cane
2. no-one else makes a smaller mill from Brazil that is really commercially proven...

We found a 2 mill roller, 5 mill tandem solution from guys here in Australia that's been used across Asia for 1,000 tpd to 3,500 tpd.
While it can only reach 96% efficiency it's very compact as a 2 roller design feeds each tandem directly (no need for conveyors between tandems or pit and grab rack feed mechanisms for next mill) and most importantly .........it is hydraulically controlled to automatically vary it's pressure on each roller tandem to meet varying cane fiber%, juice % or cane consistency.
In other words you can run 10 day old sugar cane mixed in with new 2 day old sugar cane (was designed for this condition in vietnam) or varying sweet sorghum varieties and the mill will adjust pressure by itself in real time to maximize press efficiency....

Where can we get more information on this type of mill made in Australia?

we don't have the final info yet, rather have tasked the group that designed the 2 roller sugar cane mills to spec a custom ss solution for us. Once we have the design study (expected in the next few weeks) and are satisfied that it will work as they say plus is a reasonable cost, we will advise Hal and post the group contact details to members that are interested
