Abstract
In this article will demonstrate how to optimize the process of preparing cane Valdez Sugar Company, incorporating a pre-grinder mounted on the main conveyor mechanized cane and non-mechanized in the preparation process, which will affect a better juicing, now that his next process is the extraction through a broadcast system having acquired a modern diffuser. The aim is to increase the density of the batch of cane and thus increase: extraction of sucrose and reason or milling capacity (TCH). In addition to increasing the rate of cane preparation (OPC) related directly to the amount and quality of knives and hammers on choppers and pulper. The pre-chopper was designed with reference bibliographic information and experience of technicians involved in the process, who indicated that one of the factors directly involved in processing capacity cane Diffuser, is the percentage of prepared cane. With this form of optimization succeeded in eliminating peaks of electric power generated by the main mincer type Swing Back, improving continuity in milling, reducing micro times in the horizontal or principal conductor, more than completely eliminate the peaks overcurrent power.
Keywords: Process optimization, cane, pre-grinder, conductor, power, grinding, percentage of open cells (OPC).
