Sugar & Molasses

Stable transfer of sugar products - up to heavy molasses


From cane and beet juice to syrup, molasses, and finished sugar solutions, ROTAN® pumps deliver smooth, consistent transfer -

especially where viscosity changes with temperature and concentration.


Where sugar products contain additives (e.g., acids used to prevent fermentation in transport), material selection becomes essential.

DESMI supports the right pump configuration and material choice to match your product and protect reliability.

 

Helping you maintain steady flow, minimize maintenance, and reduce lifecycle cost.
