Anionic PAM Emulsion for Sugar Juice Clarification

Product Introduction

Sugar clarification must remove suspended and precipitated impurities while protecting sucrose recovery, color, filtration, and food safety. Juice composition changes with cane or beet quality, harvest, soil, and process control.

Only a grade with documentation suitable for the intended process and market should be considered. Application testing should include sugar-quality and residual-control requirements, not settling alone.

Anionic PAM emulsion for sugar juice clarification promotes rapid aggregation of precipitated impurities and mud after liming, heating, and clarification chemistry. Grade selection is confirmed against juice quality and all food-contact regulatory requirements.

Application Challenges

• Slow mud settling and turbid clarified juice
• Variable feed quality during the crushing campaign
• Interaction with lime, phosphate, sulfitation, or carbonation chemistry
• Strict food-contact and residual requirements

How the PAM Emulsion Works

After the clarification process forms precipitated impurities, very-high-molecular-weight APAM bridges the fine mud particles into larger settleable floc. Gentle mixing protects floc and helps form a compact mud layer.

Recommended Blufloc Grades

Product Advantages

• Rapid aggregation of fine clarification mud
• Potential for clearer juice and compact mud
• Liquid feed for campaign operation
• Grade screening across variable raw material
• Documentation review before food-process use

Application Process

1. Confirm regulatory, food-contact, and customer documentation requirements before trials.
2. Use fresh process juice after the actual liming, heating, and precipitation steps.
3. Screen at controlled temperature and mixing representative of the clarifier.
4. Evaluate settling, clarified-juice quality, mud volume, filtration, color, and sucrose losses.
5. Validate during the production campaign with formal quality approval.

Product Selection Guidance

EWA 7520 may be screened where a water-based medium-anionic emulsion suits the process, but no grade should be described as food-approved without current product-specific documentation. Regulatory and quality teams must approve the selected product.

Compare candidates on active polymer mass and total operating cost. Neat-emulsion price per kilogram can be misleading if products differ in activity, preparation efficiency, dose, equipment throughput, cake or underflow quality, and downstream disposal cost.

Operating Indicators to Record

• Settling rate
• Clarified-juice turbidity
• Mud volume
• Sucrose loss
• Documentation compliance

Troubleshooting Note

Packaging, Storage, and Safe Handling

Standard supply options shown on the Blufloc PAM emulsion product pages are 25 kg containers, 200 kg plastic drums, and 1000 kg IBCs. Keep the package sealed in a cool, dry, ventilated area and protect it from direct sunlight, freezing, and excessive heat. Follow the grade-specific TDS and SDS for shelf life, handling limits, and transport classification. Polymer spills can make floors extremely slippery and should be contained and cleaned promptly.
