SUGAR
Sugar production involves multiple energy-intensive thermal steps such as juice heating, evaporation, and crystallization. The fluids are often highly viscous, prone to scaling, and contain solid residues. This requires robust and cleanable equipment with excellent thermal efficiency.

The main challenges in this sector
The main challenges in this sector
Fouling-prone fluids with high sugar content
Sugar juices and syrups are sticky, viscous, and can cause rapid scaling in heat exchangers. Equipment must handle these fluids with minimal maintenance and easy cleaning.
Thermal precision for crystallization and evaporation
Precise temperature control is essential for juice concentration and crystal formation, requiring high performance heat transfer and stable operations.
Continuous 24/7 operation during harvest season
Sugar plants operate non-stop during campaigns. Heat exchangers must be durable, leak-proof, and support long cleaning intervals.
Energy recovery from hot condensates and vapors
High thermal loads offer opportunities for energy reuse. Recovered heat from vapors and condensates can significantly reduce fuel consumption.
Our involvement in the sector
Nexson’s thermal technologies are tailored for juice processing, evaporation, and condensate recovery. Our welded exchangers deliver efficiency, cleanability, and long service life in challenging sugar operations.
Clean and compact thermal control for sweet efficiency
Welded construction for sticky media and long runs
With a gasket-free welded design, Nexson exchangers avoid leaks and withstand scaling fluids, ensuring uptime and sanitation.
High efficiency in juice heating and vapor recovery
Thanks to their compact design and high turbulence, our units maximize energy recovery during multi-effect evaporation and flash cooling.
Applications from juice preheating to condensate reuse
Nexson heat exchangers are used in raw juice treatment, clarification heating, magma cooling, and centrifuge condensate reuse.
Material selection to handle fouling and cleaning chemicals
Units are built in stainless steel and high-grade alloys, selected to resist fouling, acidity, and aggressive CIP cycles.
