CENTRICOLOR SC

Measure sugar color and detect foreign particles real-time at centrifuge discharge

An analysis is only as reliable as the process data behind it. CENTRICOLOR SC is an automated ai-based in-line color measurement system that continuously monitors sugar directly in the centrifuge, eliminating manual sampling and ensuring representative, real-time quality control.

Experience a new level of insight into sugar colour and quality during production

Small changes in sugar colour can reveal important changes in the centrifugation process. If these changes are not seen immediately, product quality may drift before operators have a chance to react. In the worst case, this can result in off-spec sugar, unnecessary losses and quality issues further downstream.

Continuous measurement directly after centrifuge discharge

CENTRICOLOR SC is developed as a continuous in-line measurement instrument for sugar production. Using AI-based camera vision, it monitors sugar colour directly in the centrifuge and analyses the visible sugar surface in real time. This gives operators an immediate process signal, helping them detect deviations early, understand process behaviour more clearly and maintain more stable and consistent sugar quality.

Your benefits with CENTRICOLOR SC

Real-Time process insight

CENTRICOLOR SC provides operators with immediate visibility into current process conditions and enabling faster, better-informed decisions on the spot.

Early detection of deviations

Changes in sugar colour reveal developing process problems early, so operators can identify deviations sooner and respond before they affect larger sugar volumes.

Consistent sugar quality

Continuous in-line color measurement makes it easier to keep sugar within specification and maintain a more stable, uniform product quality throughout production.

Reduced waste

Because deviations are detected while they occur, CENTRICOLOR SC helps prevent unnecessary waste, avoid quality problems and reduce the impact of process upsets.

Detection of foreign particles

AI-based camera vision analyses the visible sugar surface in real time, providing the possibility to detect foreign particles.

Better process understanding

CENTRICOLOR SC gives operators clearer insight into why colour changes occur, making troubleshooting easier and supporting more stable day-to-day process control.

Protect sugar quality at the point where it can still be improved

CENTRICOLOR SC delivers continuous in-line colour measurement directly in the centrifuge, giving operators a live view of product quality while action can still be taken. By revealing colour deviations as they appear, the system helps keep more sugar within specification and reduces losses before they move further downstream.

Cut waste and reduce the need for costly reprocessing

When washing conditions, crystallisation behaviour or mechanical performance begin to change, CENTRICOLOR SC provides an early warning from the process itself. This enables faster correction, limits the amount of off-spec sugar produced and reduces the risk that sugar must later be reprocessed or remelted to recover product quality.
