02

Shredder

Top-fed & horizontal shredders — preparation index 90+.

03

Mills

2-roll MillMax®, 4-roll and 6-roll Qadri / Škoda designs.

04

Spares & drive

Rolls, couplings, headstocks, gears and moisture control.

Equipment

Cane preparation & milling

Cane knife assembly SG-01 · to 25,000 TCD

Cane preparation

Cane Knife Assembly

Heavy-duty knife sets installed on the main cane carrier — primary and secondary — to chop cane from the feeding table ahead of shredding.

  • Primary stagger 120° · secondary 60° — continuous action on the cane stream
  • Combined sets deliver 60–70 preparation index
  • 1676 mm swing diameter · ~60 m/sec tip speed at low rpm
  • Power: 15 kWh/ton fibre (primary), 30 kWh/ton (secondary)
Top fed shredder SG-02 · Heavy duty

Cane preparation

Top Fed Shredder

Cane enters from the top and exits from the bottom. Multi-stage shredding with reducing clearance opens cell walls for excellent juice extraction.

  • Preparation index 90+ with fine fibre distribution
  • Higher bagasse density · lower final moisture and pol loss
  • Increases prepared-cane bulk density and plant capacity
  • Complete units, rotors and wear parts across shredder sizes
Horizontal fed shredder SG-03 · In-line

Cane preparation

Horizontal Fed Shredder

Installed on the main cane carrier (up to 15° inclination) before mills or diffuser. A feeding drum lifts cane between rotor and anvil grid.

  • Preparation index 90+ · long fibre with more open cells
  • No cane knives required before the fiberizer
  • 10–20% lower capital vs conventional preparation systems
  • Up to 20% energy saving · 1830 mm swing diameter
2-roll MillMax mill SG-04 · MillMax®

Cane milling

2-Roll Mill (MillMax®)

Latest-generation two-roller equipment that limits juice re-absorption in bagasse — competitive capital cost and lower operating expense.

  • No 3rd roll, no trashplate — ~25% less annual maintenance
  • RLD anti-reabsorption device at discharge
  • Up to 35% less power consumption per ton fibre
  • Pairs with existing drive to increase crushing
4-roll mill SG-05 · Qadri design

Cane milling · to 25,000 TCD

4-Roll Mill

Horizontally / vertically adjustable four-roll mill — floating top-roll, bagasse-roll, cane-roll and a heavy-duty 4th roll for long crushing seasons.

  • Large bearing journals · convertible 4-roll to 6-roll
  • All rolls convertible to perforated type for juice drainage
  • FEA-validated steel frames for long life
  • Independent water cooling on housing and bronze liner
6-roll mill SG-06 · Qadri–Škoda

Cane milling · to 25,000 TCD

6-Roll Mill

Six-roll mill commonly installed at position no. 1 in a milling tandem — three main rolls, two pressure-feeder rolls and one underfeed roll.

  • Higher extraction vs 4-roll mills
  • Heavy- / medium-duty pressure feeder options
  • Pinion, independent or chain-driven feeder rolls
  • FEA-analysed frames · perforated-ready rolls
Perforated mill roll SG-07 · Spares

Rolls & drive

Perforated Mill Roll

Extra drainage paths through the shell lift juice extraction and cut final bagasse moisture — multi-hole brass nozzles resist choking.

  • May increase juice extraction by 1–2.5%
  • Reduce bagasse moisture by 2–3%
  • Ideal for discharge rolls and last-mill top roll
  • Shells: grey CI, SG iron, cast steel, Qast-Alloy
Multi-misalignment coupling SG-08 · Drive

Rolls & drive

Multi-Misalignment Coupling

Eliminates undesirable tail-bar and coupling effects — free floating of the top roll with no axial load transmitted to the gear.

  • Fully compensates gear-shaft to top-roll misalignment
  • First choice with new-generation gearing
  • Safe operation assured by back-up slings
  • Competitive capital cost · low-cost maintenance
Moisture control unit SG-09 · MCU

Rolls & drive

Moisture Control Unit

Installed on a 4-roll conventional mill to reduce bagasse moisture at the discharge roll — extra juice drainage without a separate drive.

  • Hydraulic limiting device · up to 220 bar
  • Charges from existing mill-house hydraulics
  • Fits existing 4-roll and 6-roll mills
  • Easy install · low maintenance

Spares

Components that keep the tandem running
