Abstract

The sugar cane polishing machine is used for juicing process of fresh drink. The juicing sugar cane industry is an alternative method for increasing sugar cane value. Furthermore, more percentage of juice can be obtained comparing with conventional peeling method because the cane’s flesh was not peeled off. Design and manufacture of sugar cane polishing machine will achieve the continuous polishing process with more juicing efficiency as well. These could be accomplished by adding the feeding mechanism and modifying the brush units. Testing of continuous feeding sugar cane polishing machine found out that the suitable rotational speed of the feeding mechanism and the brush units was 36.25 rpm and 1080 rpm respectively. The highest working capacity was 276.96 kg/hr while the lowest power consumption was found to be 727.81 watt. The cleaning percentage of this condition was 74.72%. The Supanburi50 variety was used as the tested sugar cane.
