Earlier this year the Belize Sugar Industry installed and commissioned a JEFFCO InfraCana II into a newly renovated Cane Testing Unit (CTU) facility at the Tower Hill sugar factory. Funded by the European Union the new system allows the Belize sugar industry to test every truck of sugarcane for quality. Information is planned for distribution to growers to help them make better decisions about growing and harvesting sugarcane. Information is also fed forward to the sugar factory to assist them to improve sugarcane processing within the factory. Over 400 trucks per day will be tested when fully operational.
Additionally, the new CTU wet chemistry laboratory has a JEFFCO WD02 Wet Disintegrator for accurate primary analysis of sugarcane for Pol and Brix.
The new CTU wet laboratory will use ICUMSA standard testing for high quality validation and monitoring of the InfraCana Near-InfraRed technology.
The JEFFCO InfraCana also incorporates the world best JEFFCO CG03 Cutter Grinder with preparation index above 95 and strong operator safety protection systems.
All three Jeffco technologies can be seen operating in a single location in Central America.
Excited local science graduates were amongst the first to visit the new facility to see JEFFCO technology in action.
