Summary
Engineers responsible for operating and managing sugar manufacturing plants using sugarcane or sugar beets as raw materials. They monitor and control processes from raw material processing to concentration, crystallization, drying, and packaging to achieve stable production and quality assurance.
Description
Sugar manufacturing engineers operate and monitor a series of processes in sugar manufacturing plants, including raw material receiving and washing, juice extraction, concentration, crystallization, centrifugal separation, drying, and packaging. They stabilize production and manage quality. By controlling temperature, pressure, pH, etc., they improve yield, and when abnormalities occur, they quickly identify causes and implement measures. They also perform routine maintenance inspections, equipment maintenance, and propose improvements to work procedures, while striving to ensure safety and hygiene.
Future Outlook
The domestic sugar manufacturing industry is stable, but due to health trends and alternative sweeteners, there is demand for high-value-added products and improved production efficiency. As automation and labor reduction advance, advanced process control and equipment maintenance capabilities become increasingly important.
