Shivshakti Sugars has partnered with Spray Engineering Devices (SED) to convert its 7,500 TPD syrup plant into a modern white‑sugar facility. The integrated process house promises higher energy efficiency, tighter process control, and a boost in production capacity.

  • SED will handle design, engineering, equipment supply, erection and commissioning.
  • Key equipment dispatch targeted by 15 Sept 2026; full plant commissioning by 31 Oct 2026.
  • New technology leverages low‑grade vapor for improved energy savings and process stability.

Project Overview

Shivshakti Sugars Limited, based in Belagavi, Karnataka, has awarded Spray Engineering Devices Limited (SED) the task of strengthening its evaporator station and adding a sugar crystallization section to its existing 7,500 TCD syrup production line. The upgrade will enable the plant to produce plantation white sugar at a rate of 340 TCH, marking a major step toward higher efficiency and modernized sugar manufacturing.

Managing Director Vivek Verma of SED said, “Engineering for us is never just about supplying equipment; it’s about owning performance. With Shivshakti Sugars, we are combining process design, energy efficiency, and operational control into a plant‑scale solution that runs reliably and scales efficiently.”

Key Technological Features

The comprehensive package includes a condensate juice heater, falling‑film evaporators, condensate heat recovery, spray‑continuous pans for A, B & C massecuite, vacuum, sealing and vertical crystallizers with full automation. It comprises two 5,000 m² falling‑film evaporators, three spray‑continuous pans (110 TPH, 45 TPH, 35 TPH) and air‑cooled vertical crystallizers for low‑grade massecuite.

SED’s spray‑continuous pan technology enables continuous boiling with individual chamber control of vapor, temperature, level and consistency, while the evaporator system features recirculation loops and provisions for online chemical cleaning, maximizing low‑grade vapor utilization.

Historical Background

India’s sugar industry dates back to the early 19th century, when the first mills were set up under colonial rule. For decades, most Indian mills produced raw sugar (syrup), leading to higher energy losses and lower profit margins. Since the 2000s, demand for plantation‑white sugar has surged, prompting manufacturers to adopt advanced crystallization technologies. Shivshakti Sugars’ 7,500 TCD project reflects this broader shift toward energy‑savvy, high‑yield processing in the country.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that the integration of crystallization and evaporation modules in a single process house can cut energy consumption by up to 15 % and improve sugar recovery rates, giving Indian manufacturers a competitive edge in the global sugar market.

“SED’s modular approach sets a new benchmark for cost‑effective sugar processing in emerging economies,” says Dr. Ananya Rao, senior analyst at AgriTech Insights.
Did You Know?: India is one of the world’s largest sugar producers, yet its per‑ton energy consumption can be up to 30 % higher than the global average, driving the need for innovations like SED’s.
