While the company’s history goes back to 30 years, our latest technologies are aimed at meeting the modern day requirements of the sugar industry. We are the pioneers in introducing Hydraulic Drives, Planetary Gear Box, DC drives and continuous pans for grade ‘A’ boiling.
We have installed high tech automatic condensing and cooling systems with resulted 50% power saving.
This season we are in the process of introducing “steam saving scheme” to improve the crushing capacity without altering the boiler capacity. |

Currently the sugar division has a crushing capacity of ten lakhs tons per annum and our average crushing will be 9.5 to 10.5 lakhs tons every year. We are planning to increase the crushing to 11 to 12 lakhs tons per annum.
PRODUCTS
Sugar
We produce plantation white sugar of very high quality with less than 100 icumsa. The sugar produced meets the international standard of very low NSR (Non Soluble Residue) value of less than 20 PPM.
Sugar Production
Small Grain – S30
Medium Grain – M30
NSR value <20 PPM
Colour: 80-90 icumsa
Molasses
Molasses is the by-product separated from ‘C’ grade sugar during the centrifuging of sugar crystals. The yield of molasses per ton of cane will be in the range 4 to 4.5%. The entire quantity of molasses produced will be used for captive consumption in our distillery.
Bagasse
Bagasse is the fibrous material from the sugar cane after extracting the juice. We generate steam and power to meet out our requirement independently by making use of the bagasse.
At present, we are able to generate 8 to 10% of surplus bagasse by implementing steam and power saving devices. With the completion of the in-house co-generation power plant project, the surplus bagasse will be used for generating captive power.
Press Mud
Press mud, the solid waste from sugar cane, is rich in organic compounds like nitrogen, phosphors and potassium. Press mud is utilized to produce the bio-manure by composting with spentwash, a liquid waste from distillery. |

The distillery division was installed in the year 2003 and has a capacity of 50 KLPD with most modern multi pressure distillation and multi optional fermentation. The Plant, a first of its kind in India, was supplied and commissioned by Praj industries ltd, Pune. The state-of-the-art technology produces super fine quality of Extra Neutral Alcohol directly from the wash.
The Product
The super fine quality of Extra Neutral Alcohol is the natural choice for making premium brands of IMFL blends. The multi pressure distillation eliminates all impurities effectively with minimum PP time not < 60 minutes.
The Process
The most modern technology is adopted with the options of continuous, semi continuous, batch, fed batch, yeast recycle in the fermentation process. Depending upon the requirement the option can be selected. The unique technology adopted in distillation, which is a multi pressure distillation consisting of 6 columns with re-boilers, produces super fine quality of alcohol with less spentwash generated-around 8 Ltrs of spentwash per liter of alcohol production.

- Bio-Methanization
- Bio-Composting
Bio-Methanization
The Bio-Methanization plant was installed in the month of February ’05, to handle 600 m3 of spentwash. The system is based on “Up Flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket” (UASB) process by which sludge blanket is produced at different levels of bio-methanization plant eliminating the requirement of media.
The plant is designed to handle 600 m3/day of spentwash, however only 375 to 400 m3/day of spentwash is treated, because of the modern technology adopted in the distillery. The COD reduction is 65 to 70% and BOD reduction is 85 to 90%, there by producing 22000 to 24000 m3/day bio-gas, which replaces 80% of the distillery fuel requirement. Hence, substantial fuel saving is achieved which not only benefits financially, but also eliminates pollution load to the maximum extent.
Bio- Composting
The spentwash is utilized for bio composting along with pressmud and coal ash, which are the by-products of sugar factory. The company has established concrete lined bio compost yard to an extent of 10 acres as per the protocol evolved by KSPCB / CPCB guidelines. Two numbers of powerful aero tillers are utilized for the purpose of mixing the windrows to activate the aerobic composting process. The microbial culture developed in the laboratory is added during the formation of windrows. The pressmud with the application of spentwash is composted with the help of aerobic micro organisms. With cycle time of 40 to 50 days, the spentwash mixed pressmud becomes composted and forms organic manure. Composting is carried out as per KSPCB / CPCB protocols, with pressmud and spentwash at the ratio of 1:2.5. Our bio-compost yard has a capacity of producing 2000 MT of bio-compost per month. The quality of the compost is excellent and well accepted by the farmers.
