Latest Patents
Longue-Epee holds a patent for a "Process and device for continuous crystallization of a massecuite." This invention describes a method for crystallizing sugar syrup, where the syrup is cooked to create a massecuite. The massecuite undergoes continuous mixing under vacuum to enhance crystallization. The crystallized massecuite is then separated to isolate the sugar crystals from the mother liquor. The mother liquor is divided into two discharges: one that is poor in water syrup and another that is rich. Most of the first discharge is recycled back to the mixing stage, ensuring a continuous treatment that maintains the homogeneity of the sugar crystals.
