Show SUGAR FACTORY CHANGES i A1UNG DOWN AND REBUILDING REBUILD-ING FOUM A BUSY SCENE The Remodeling1 and Enlargement will Treble the Capacity of the Plant Model Plant Assured Lclil May 22 Probably the

Ideal plant and has caused many to bo llllcd with wonder at Its magnitude But when the prcMiu work Is completed Its capacity will have been trebled and the arrangement of the machinery will be much

Item when It IB known ihuv the > > o steel beams and girders weigh no less than 400 tons and the new machinery being placed this year In addition addi-tion to that heretofore used represents a weight of 1100 tons more That this vast weight may rest upon safe supports a great amount of excavating has been nc cc = ar > ond then Illled up with solid ma gonry Tho old crystallization tanks havo been removed entirely cut up and remodeled re-modeled into carbonization tanks und In the place of them will be eighteen new rotary crystalllxers weighing seventeen tons each and each having a capacity ot st cubic toot These crystallize mire the latest Improvement in ho crystallization of sugar and are used only In the most modem punts By this system the syrup Js kept In constant motion causing It to crystallise much moro readily In tact It will dd away almost entirely with the ncccsslt of storing the low syrup product There will be six additional carbonization carboniza-tion tanks some of thorn holding TOO cu blc feet ouch There will be four nw No 1 presses and the old third presses will be used as second presses and In lieu of the thirds llfteen mechanical Illlors will bo used thus filtering the Juice twice Instead of once as heretofore done There illl bn four new evaporators double the capacity ot the old ones now In the plant and Instead ot having seven centrifugals there win be seventeen These hrve been removed from a dark corner nnd form n long row close bv the north windows Inasmuch In-asmuch us It was a centrifugal that r CIUPIH tlio OnlY serious accident that has happened In the factory this fact will bn l fcpprrr fated The fxtra amount of lime aid carbonic acid gus that will be used in tho purification of the juices has no CMsliatcd the building of a new lime kiln t model of Its Hind This central plant besides using the juice from Its own cutter will also use the julro from the two rapartea or auxiliary auxil-iary plants at Sprlngvillo and Blngham Junction The Juice from these two brunches will be pumped Into two Immense Im-mense tanks located In the northeast corner cor-ner of tbo building each having a capacity ca-pacity of 1SOOO gallons c Tho oM warehouso at the west of the main building has been removed and built into a storeroom for beet seed etc and in Its place will bo erected n mammoth warehouse from which they will be able to load ten curs of sugar at the same time Instead of wheeling the sugar Into the uamhou as of yore it will be carried car-ried hero direct b > means of n scrov = convoor and after being weighed by i a new
