Vertical continuous pans

Vertical continuous pans (VKT)

One solution, many applications 

Vertical continuous pans (VKT) from BMA were developed to ensure maximum exhaustion or crystal content for a wide range of massecuite purities in the beet and cane sugar factories and sugar refineries. To date, VKT have been installed in more than 75 factories, meeting very high requirements: process continuity, massecuite with a high crystal content, and a small footprint for outside installation.

Optimised personnel deployment thanks to automation

Unlike in batch-type crystallisation and evaporation processes, the operator only has monitoring duties during normal operation.

Around-the-clock availability

Consistent operating conditions make for long working cycles. VKT from BMA feature a bypass system that optimises the cleaning process. This permits continuous 24/7 operation of the VKT during the campaign.
