Abstract
Cane rate (t/h) is a main indicator to evaluate the milling performance of a cane sugar factory. Currently, nuclear scales are being used to measure the cane crushing capacity in most of the sugar factories in China. The gamma rays are generated by the nuclear scale adds risk to the working environment when the sugar factory is in operation. To achieve nuclear-free sugar manufacturing, a new online detecting system with an angle sensor was developed to measure the cane rate. In the present study, comparison of nuclear scale and angle sensor cane rate measurements was discussed. Results showed that the detecting relative error was less than 5 %, which did not effect the production requirements of the factory. In addition with combination of a distributed control system, the nuclear scale can achieve the online detection and control of cane crushing rate.
