AB designs to provide maximum throughput with very low final molasses purity. The AB continuous basket is made of high strength stainless steel material. The high strength of the basket allows drilling of large drainage holes and the machining of annular grooves on the inside of the basket. The design provides the highest drain rate compared to any other continuous centrifugal basket available in the market.

High drain rate enables more massecuite can be processed in a smaller basket. Smaller basket requires less power to operate thus reducing the cost of production. AB designs are such that water is added internally to the feed stream to assure complete mixing while steam is added externally to the feed stream to reduce the molasses viscosity without melting sugar crystals. Process water and steam controls with flow meters and pressure gauges allow for accurate and repeatable process conditions. By controlling the process water addition the AB continuous centrifugal can control the brix of the final molasses. AB continuous centrifugals are available for processing B & C massecuite with basket from 1100 mm dia to 1500 mm dia.
