SLURRY SEED MILL

It is generally considered that to grow regular shaped and sized crystals in a vacuum pan; the best method is “full pan seeding” using a sugar slurry seed. This is done by the addition of a specific volume of slurry seed into the vacuum pan when the syrup in the pan is at the correct

Degree of supersaturation. Slurry seed is a mixture of finely ground sugar suspended in anhydrous ethanol or propanol.

The specification of the recommended grade of Propan-2-ol (IPA). The preparation of slurry seed is easy and the addition of it to the pan easily controlled; the quantity of the slurry used determining the crystal size of the final sugar. By using slurry seeding, Sugar Factories and Refineries alike are able to produce a more regular crystal than can be produced by other methods of graining.
