Optimizing Sugar Processing with JS Vibro’s Sieving and Blending Solutions
Sugar is a core ingredient in nearly every segment of the food industry — from confectionery and beverages to bakery and dairy products. Whether it’s refined, powdered, or blended with additives, processing sugar requires consistent particle size, impurity-free handling, and uniform mixing to meet quality and safety standards.
A leading sugar processor partnered with JS Vibro to upgrade their production line and resolve several long-standing issues: dust generation, inconsistent mixing of sugar-based premixes, and contamination due to outdated sieving equipment. Their goal was to improve production hygiene, eliminate clumps, and ensure a uniform end product across all batches.
The Vibro Sifter was installed at the pre-processing stage to screen granulated or powdered sugar. It effectively removes foreign particles, lumps, and oversize granules — ensuring only clean, free-flowing sugar moves forward. This screening step not only improved batch consistency but also protected downstream machinery from damage and clogging.
Once screened, the sugar was sent to the JS Vibro Ribbon Blender, where it was blended with food-grade additives such as flavors, citric acid, or nutritional ingredients to create premixes for instant drink powders, flavored sugars, and sweetener blends. The Ribbon Blender’s uniform mixing capability ensured every ingredient was evenly distributed without damaging the sugar’s crystalline structure.
The new system enabled the manufacturer to significantly reduce cleaning time, minimize wastage, and meet hygiene requirements with ease. Thanks to JS Vibro’s stainless-steel, easy-to-clean designs, the plant now maintains food safety standards while operating with improved efficiency and lower manual labor input.
