    The document discusses conglomerates that form in sugar crystals and how they can be prevented. It describes how grinding sugar crystals in alcohol using a Slurry Mill produces very small, uniform crystal fragments that are free of conglomerates. When these fragments are used to seed sugar boiling, they grow into normal crystals without conglomerates. The Slurry Mill is capable of producing particles small enough that a single charge can provide nuclei for multiple pans, preventing conglomerate formation. Instructions are provided for operating the Type SMAC-10 Slurry Mill at a capacity of 10 liters per batch.

    'DITMAR' SLURRY MILLS

    Dust and screened sugar contain conglomerates. Conglomerates, how small they are, grow as conglomerates
    and never produce normal crystals. A footing built up from dust or screened sugar also will contain
    conglomerates.

    Conglomerates are not bright and deprive the product of its luster. A further disadvantage is that they are
    difficult to wash and syrup, containing non-sugars, will stay behind in the product. This sugar is less tenable
    and deteriorates in storage.

    Even for raw-sugar it has its advantages to make conglornerate free crystal. The sugar will hold longer in
    storage and will wash better when affining.

    To expect normal crystals, a footing must be seeded with conglomerate free nuclei. When white sugar is ground
    in denatured or isopropyl alcohol, all crystals, normal as well as conglomerates, are pulverized to small
    particles.

    Observed under a microscope, no well-shaped crystals can be seen but also no conglomerates. The mass
    contains very small fragments of sugar crystals which, compared with dust or screened sugar, are very regular
    in size. When growing they will recover themselves to normal shaped crystals. When seeding a footing with
    this material, the result can be a very regular crystal, practical free from conglomerates. The particles are so
    small that with one (charge all wanted nuclei can be shot in the pan. When seeding in high purities it is even
    advisable to suck in sufficient nuclei for more strikes and cutover to other pans. This will prevent the forming
    of conglomerates.

    The quantity to be used depends on the capacity of the pan and the size of the crystals wanted. For crystals of
    about 0.30 to 0.35 mm linear, 50-cc. slurry, as it comes from the mill, must be sucked in the pan per 100 hI.
    massecuite. For organic solvent mostly is used isopropyl alcohol. When not available also can be used
    denaturated alcohol ~ In connection with the inflammability of these solvents it is advisable to place the slurry
    mill 6utside the laboratory.

    The charge can be shot in at a low super-saturation (C = 1.05). Before reaching the "Intermediate zone" the
    nuclei have developed to a size visible on a glass sample plate against an electric bulb.

    Today, Slurry" is used in all kinds of strikes, from fine granulated refinery sugars to low grade molasses strikes.
    It is also used for the manufacturing of tablet and cubes. It is possible to make such small crystals in, Slurry"
    that without mixing with smear or grounded sugar, well-shaped and brilliant tablets and cubes can be made
    with a minimum of breakage. These tablets are quick melters. We were informed that with normal sugar,
    factories that had before less than 60% crystals in the main screening fraction, after the use of "Slurry" now
    have more than 85% in the same fraction. Dust and scalings, which have to be remelted, were down to about
    nothing.

    To produce "Slurry" in -a reasonable time we have developed showed slurry mills, type SMAC-l0 with a
    capacity of 10 liter.

    Instructions for use of Slurry Mills: Report of the Applied Sugar Laboratories Inc., New York

    Type SMAC-10 - capacity per batch 10 liter Fig. 1 After 4 hours running of the mill type SMAC the results were:
    The same as above but starts with 8 liter alcohol and adds 4 liter
    sugar crystals. Size in microns Number % total
    Before starting another batch, wash out the mill properly with an 1-5 microns 58 40,0
    organic solvent. The ratio alcohol sugar should not be less than 2: 1, 6-10 microns 44 30,0
    otherwise there is not enough movement of the mass in the mill and
    11-20 microns 35 24.1
    the slurry will not discharge.
    After settling, surplus of solvent can be decanted. over 20 microns 8 5,5

    Note: After 4 hours running the mill type SMACS produces about 95%
    nuclei below 10 microns.

    More than 800 of these Slurry Mills are in use all over the world.
