Sinopsis

Excerpt from Science in Sugar Production: An Introduction to Methods of Chemical Control

Ugar being a product of vegetable life, the sugar factory may S be regarded as a machine for converting dissolved sugar into crystals; -01' for packing the produce of many acres of land into the smallest possible compass. As it is impossible to get more work out of a machine than is put into it, so it is impossible to get more sugar out of the factory than enters it in the form of raw material. Indeed, it is impossible to get as much, notwithstanding all improve ment in sugar machinery and the accumulated experience of centuries. Some sugar is invariably lost that is, not converted into crystals. The causes being various and sometimes Obscure.

Whereas some losses appear to be unavoidable, even when skilled labour and the best ~machinery are at hand, there are others due to the continued use Of inferior machinery or processes, and to ignorance or carelessness on the part Of employees, so that the total loss in many sugar factories is a serious Obstacle to economic production.
