ABSTRACT: The main objective of the product is to design the a sugar cane juice extracting machine, that will
extract juice from sugar cane and that will separate the juice from the sugar cane and bagasse. The sugar cane juice
extractor machine is a machine use to extract the juice from sugar cane. These juice extractor machines were built to
help human extract the juice from sugar cane through crushing and rolling process. A conventional machine is
simple machine consists of several gears, rollers, and lever attached on a cast iron chassis body. Most conventional
machines are made up of cast iron material which is strong and durable. These machines were made by simple
mechanism of rolling and crushing. Crushing a sugar cane requires strong force due to its strong and hard
characteristics. Juice extractor machines were built mostly focused on the mechanical of the machine. The efficiency
of the machine depends on the mechanical system that has been designed on the machine. Mechanical power is the
most essential needs in these identified areas.
I. INTRODUCTION
The development of sugar cane juice extractor machines have been going on for hundreds of years in many
countries. The development of sugarcane crushers to extract juice from the cane over this century can be viewed in
this article along with a few very important designs of the past centuries.

preserves the natural flavor of the juice, prevents natural fermentation of the processed juice and preserves the
natural color of the juice. In general exemplary implementation of the method, sugar cane juice is extracted
manually harvested high sucrose content sugar cane sticks using a roller mill tandem juice extracted from the mills
is filtered and then stabilized at a pH of about 7.4 to 7.6 through the addition of calcium hydroxide. Subsequently,
the juice product may be heated from a temperature in the range of about 20 0 C. to 300 C., to a temperature not
exceeding 900 C.

Publication date: 21-march-2000

An apparatus for crushing sugarcane to extract the juice has opposed crushing rules at least one of which is formed
with juice channels which are temporarily plugged by bagasse after the juice has entered into the channel further
rotation of the rolls removes the trapped juice away from the cane blanket and the bagasse plug is then scrapped out
of the top of the channel to allow the juice to drain. The juice is drained away from the cane blanket and is not
reabsorbed there by. Efficiency of juice removal is improved further efficiency improvements are obtained by
having pairs of crushing rules positioned above each other such that the cane blanket moves in generally vertical
direction. An apparatus for extracting juice from sugar cane, the apparatus having pair of counter rotating rolls with
crushing zone between the rolls in which the cane is crushed at least one the rolls having a peripheral juice channel
extending about the roll and into which sugar juice can flow, the channel being configured such that, in use, a
sealing plug of a bagasse forms in an upper portion of the channel with a lower portion of the channel left free for
holding the juice, bagasse plug removing means to remove the plug of the bagasse after the bagasse has moved
through the crushing zone to allow the juice drain from the channel.

The production of sugar cane is increasing in Nigeria nowadays. Juice extracted from sugar cane can be used
extensively in manufacturing brown sugar, industrial sugar and bioethanal fuel through the process of
fermentations; hence, the need to develop a the machine can extract juice from sugar cane effectively. This work
involves the design, fabrication and performance evaluation of sugar cane juice extractor. The prototype machine
was designed, fabricated, and the developed machine was evaluated using coma variety. The development and
performance of a small scale sugarcane juice extractor was achieved at the department of agricultural and bio
researches engineering workshop of the Ahmadu Bello university. The sugarcane juice extractor was tested recorded
and output capacity of 148.20 kg/hr and extraction efficiency of 67.44% for koma, variety respectively at speed of
30 rpm.

order to boost the production of sugarcane and its product, we have embraced a project called SUGARCANE JUICE
EXTRACTOR. Assessment of the sugarcane extractor functionality as regards its effectiveness in the extraction of
juice. The approach in this project is to design a machine that consists of the 2.0-hp gear motor and crush
mechanism of the machine, consisting of gears latches and three rollers which have then been mounted with the
juicer and inlet and outlet on the frame. The extractor of sugarcane juice has a unique design that is quite during
operation (can be operated in an enclosed door) as well as compact. It squeezes any sugarcane of a diameter less
than 52mm. the interaction between contaminants and extracted juice is considered negligible with the supplied
isolation of the extraction process from the environment. Due to the electric transmission motor used, the rollers
worked without being stuck independent of the sugarcane juice.

The performance of animal operated KVIC and ATDA sugarcane crushers was evaluated and compared with
traditional sugarcane crushers the results revealed that the average juice extraction was 6.0-7.1% higher as compared
to traditional kirloskar’s Kumar crusher. Juice extraction varied with the cane varieties and was higher for the
varieties having lower fiber content. The increasing was not significant with recycling of crushed cane as compared
to without recycling in KVIC crusher. In ATDA design crusher, the juice extraction increased significantly with
fourth roller in comparison to without fourth roller. There was non-significant difference in the juice extraction by
the KVIC crusher with recycling and ATDA crusher with fourth roller however, there was significant increased in
juice extraction in ATDA crusher with fourth roller as compared to KVIC crusher without recycling of crushed
cane,

Publication date: Aug-2019

The extracting the juice from sugar cane as been a major problem, especially with the use of a traditional way that could
damage the gum of the teeth and putting the human teeth in distress and require much energy. The main objective of the
design is to design a sugar cane juice extracting, that will extract the juice from sugar cane and that will separate the
juice from the sugar cane and bagasse. The crushing unit is made of two rollers which are134mm thick diameter and
length of 265mm, with the crushing section of the roller of 17.8mm and the cutting blade section of the roller 8.7mm,
148 mm long hallow stainless steel cylinders and stainless steel rods of 32 mm diameter. The machine was constructed
by several well established methods such as methods, such are as follows; measuring, marking out operation, cutting
operation, welding operation, grinding operation.
X. CONCLUSION
The Trapiche is traditional wooden roller used by people of Panama and Columbia to extract sugarcane
juice. The Trapiche is a Spanish word for “sugarcane crusher”. It is varying in size and is made up of wood. It has
two rollers that are vertically placed and held by a wooden frame.
According to Cesar B.G.C (2004), screw press conveyers that gently squeeze the fiber (sugarcane) in each stage,
improves extraction.
Olaoye (2011), developed a sugar cane juice extractor for small scale industries. The designed is a simple
mechanical device for the extraction of sugarcane juice.
The aim of the construction was achieved with the ease of extraction of the juice from the sugarcane with a
capacity of 61.36 kg/hr which was developed and tested, the design of the sugarcane juice extracting machine
possess simplicity in operation and maintenance as well as affordable with low running and maintenance costs with
a reliable efficiency.

When commercialized, the machine could go a long way in solving the problem of sugarcane juice
domestically and also meeting the sugar requirement of the nation.
The evolution of crushing mechanisms of sugarcane to obtain the juice over the past centuries for
production of jaggery can be understood through the above important innovations. It can thus be concluded that an
improved design where-in enhanced crushing of sugarcane to obtain more juice can be proposed for improved
productivity of jaggery.
