Râperie
A râperie is a small factory depending on a central sugar factory. In a râperie sugar beet are grated and the juice is extracted before it is transported to a central sugar factory. By 2023 the Râperie de Longchamps, Éghezée, Longchamps connected to the Wanze Sugar Factory in Belgium was the only remaining operational râperie. Characteristics A râperie consists of: * A truck scale, weighbridge for weighing the sugar beet * A reception area where the beet are stored temporarily * An installation to wash the beet * A machine that slices the beet into cossettes (); * Diffusers which extract the raw juice by Leaching (chemistry), leaching. In a final step before transport, some limewater, milk of lime is added to the raw juice to prevent oxidation. The raw juice is then transported to a main beet sugar factory by an underground pipeline. In the main factory the raw juice undergoes the final steps to produce sugar. The hydraulic transport from the râperie to the sugar fact ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wanze Sugar Factory
The ''Wanze Sugar Factory'' was founded by the Sucreries Centrales SA. It is located in Wanze and is currently owned by Raffinerie Tirlemontoise. Wanze Sugar Factory is the only European sugar factory that still uses an outlying râperie connected by a pipeline. The râperie in Longchamps is located 23 km west of the central factory. History The central factory model In the 19th century, freight transport by road was very expensive. For factories depending on roads, this put a very narrow limit on the distance at which it was still economical to transport sugar beet. This limit was about 5–6 km. Therefore, there were a lot of small sugar factories. E.g. in Hainaut Province alone, there were about 90 sugar factories in 1877. As beet contained only about 10% sugar, the idea to split the production process came up. The extraction of the raw juice from the beet would be done in a râperie close to the farm. Only the raw juice would then be transported over a longer ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sucrerie Centrale De Cambrai
The Sucrerie centrale de Cambrai was a company which had a central beet sugar factory in Escaudœuvres, Nord department, France. This Sucrerie centrale d'Escaudœuvres was fed by about a dozen râperies. In 2003 the company was merged into its owner Tereos. The central factory then continued to operate as Sucrerie Tereos d'Escaudœuvres until 2023. The facilities are now only used for storage and logistics. Characteristics The official name of the company that founded the factory was 'Sucrerie centrale de Cambrai'. It was located in Escaudœuvres. The name reflected that for some time, the facility was a central factory which finished the work of satellite factories, so called râperies. These closed down in the 1960s, but the company and factory did not change their names. The factory's location in Escaudœuvres, just north of Cambrai is due to geography. The surrounding area is farm land with much clay and lime, ideal for growing sugar beet. Also, the Nord-Pas de Calais ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Beet Sugar Factory
A beet sugar factory, or sugar factory, is a type of production facility that produces sugar from Sugar beet, sugar beets or alternative plants to sugarcane in making refined sugar. These factories process the beets to produce White sugar, refined sugar, similar to sugarcane in other regions. The process involves several steps, including washing, slicing, and extracting the sugar content through diffusion. Nowadays, most sugar factories also act as sugar refinery, sugar refineries. The first beet sugar factory was built in 1802. Sugar mill, factory and refinery Beet sugar factories can differ in the extent of the processing: *Most process sugar beet into white sugar and brown sugar (sucrose or "table sugar"). *Some process beets only as far as an intermediate stage (an unrefined 'raw' sugar or concentrated sugar solution) to be refined elsewhere. *A few process beets and also process raw sugar from cane in their refining section. The terms sugar mill and sugar refinery were old ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The factory was in operation from 1863 to 1929. Some of the imposing factory buildings remain and are protected as industrial heritage. In 2012 a reconstruction started to change the old buildings to a large shopping mall called ''De Zeeland''.
