Pumps for the sugar industry

Steiner Ukraine supplies industrial pumps for all stages of sugar production — from transporting sugar beet juice to pumping syrups, molasses, lime milk and wastewater. We select equipment based on the characteristics of the environment, viscosity, temperature and solid particle content, ensuring reliable operation in the harsh conditions of the processing season.

 

What we pump

  • Diffusion juice
  • Lime milk and lime suspensions
  • Filter sludge
  • Syrups and condensed solutions
  • Molasses and by-products
  • Wastewater, condensates

 

Types of pumps for sugar factories

Centrifugal pumps

Used to transport large volumes of juice, syrup or condensates. Cast iron or AISI 316L construction, impellers resistant to abrasion.

Screw pumps

Stable feeding of viscous flows (molasses, syrups, suspensions). Operate without pulsations, suitable for dosed feeding to evaporation or crystallisation units.

Peristaltic pumps

Effective for pumping abrasive and aggressive suspensions, including lime milk and sediments. Contact only with the hose, easy replacement of consumable parts.

Gear pumps

Accurate delivery of syrups and viscous solutions. Maintain stable pressure and flow under variable conditions.

Diaphragm pumps

They work with chemical reagents (flocculants, antiseptics) and abrasive suspensions. They are resistant to aggressive environments and are suitable for auxiliary processes.

 

Processes where pumps are used

  • Diffusion — pumping sugar beet juice
  • Cleansing — supply of lime milk, suspensions, reagents
  • Filtration — transportation of sludge and filtrate
  • Evaporation — feeding syrup into evaporators
  • Crystallisation — circulation and dosing of syrup
  • Disposal — pumping molasses, wastewater and return water

 

Materials and workmanship

  • Cast iron, carbon steel or stainless steel housings
  • Mechanical and gland seals, abrasion resistant
  • Suitable for high temperatures and aggressive environments

 

Advantages of Steiner Ukraine solutions

  • Experience in the field — long-term cooperation with sugar factories in Ukraine
  • Reliability during the season — selection of equipment for maximum loads
  • Energy efficiency — optimal operating points and use of frequency control
  • Service and spare parts — prompt delivery, maintenance recommendations
  • Technical support — passports, instructions, staff training (Library)
