Continuous banks of Dyer-Blanchard crystallizers finish “C” strikes and deliver steady massecuite flow to the centrifugals.
A large receiver positioned above the crystallizer gallery catches every “C” strike and was expanded to 6,205 cubic feet for the 2002 crop. From there the massecuite feeds two banks of seven Dyer-Blanchard crystallizers, each holding 1,000 cubic feet.
The banks operate in continuous flow, with Nadler pumps moving conditioned massecuite from the crystallizer room to the centrifugal mixers to keep the station balanced.
