SUGAR INDUSTRY
At Qingdao Blue Star, our solutions are designed to ensure conveyor belts operate cleanly and safely over long distances and optimize the efficiency of transfer and unloading points.
By making sure your products move efficiently along the conveyor without spilling from the belt or accumulating into bottlenecks inside chutes and hoppers, we can help you prevent unexpected shutdowns for cleanup and maintenance

Raw sugar, transported by boat, is covered with a thin coat of molasses, residual plant matter, and particles from shipping and handling. It must undergo purification at a cane sugar refinery before it is ready for human consumption. The first step is to remove the thin coat of molasses and residual matter from the raw sugar crystals. This is accomplished by blending the raw sugar in a hot syrup and then spinning off the dark brown syrup (molasses) from the sugar in high speed centrifuges. The raw sugar crystals are then dissolved in water and filtered through a mechanical ‘strainer’ to remove the remaining suspended solids and colour. The result is a pure, colourless syrup composed of sugar and water.
The sugar syrup is concentrated through evaporation (boiling under vacuum) and tiny “seed” crystals are added, allowing larger sugar crystals to form. Granulated sugar is obtained by extracting these crystals from the syrup by spinning in centrifuges (like a washing machine).
The crystals are dried in a drum (like a laundry dryer) and stored in silos. Prior to packaging, the sugar is sieved through wire mesh with various sizes of holes to separate crystals that correspond to different varieties of sugar (e.g., fine, superfine, coarse).
Cane Sugar Refining By-Products – Much of the water removed from the syrup still contains sugar, so it is pumped back into the system to be used again. Molasses is recycled through the cane sugar refining process an average of four times to remove the maximum amount of sugar from it. Molasses is also used by distillers, bakers and pharmaceutical companies, and can be used in the manufacturing of yeast products.
We can assist you with the Maintenance of your Belt Conveyors
Whether you are experiencing premature wear of conveyor belts, product spillage or dust generation from an incorrectly sealed load zone, Qingdao Bluestar has the expertise to find solutions that will keep your operation running at peak productivity.
Efficient Wear Protection for Chutes & Discharge points
With our long experience in Wear Protection Solutions, we can provide you with efficient maintenance solutions to solve your problems with chutes and discharge points. Depending on some parameters, such as grain size, impact energy, temperature, speed, humidity, chutes can be subject to severe wear problems.
Qingdao Bluestar can help you identify the type of wear and provide the adequate solution. We have a comprehensive line of products and technologies available for each situation. We provide a variety of lining materials for chutes & discharge points subject to wear, abrasion impact .
We can also perform the installation of the adequate lining for to protect your existing chutes and discharge points or can provide you with prefabricated and lined chutes.
We can help you Improve the Flow of Material in your Silos & Hoppers & Transportation Pipes
The silos and hoppers in cement factories constantly undergo variations in parameters such as humidity, temperatures, density, and quality of materials. This results in large material flow variations which often lead to blockage / clogging of the silos and hoppers.
Our wear protection and sliding -promotion solutions installed on silo and hopper on walls and surfaces ensure impeccable operation. They thus avoid the need for manual cleaning or the need to use vibrators or air cannons to ensure continuous production without interruption.
When choosing the right materials for wear protection linings, our engineers take into account the specific geometry involved, for example that of a hopper or silo. Very often, we propose solutions composed of several materials which will be installed in the different parts of a silo (cylindrical, conical part.)
Engineered Spare Parts for your Crushing ,Milling & Cooler Equipment
Qingdao Bluestar provides custom solutions for the protection of industrial facilities from wear and impact damage. Our wear-resistant foundry parts are engineered to improve productivity and minimize maintenance downtime.
With a holistic approach to wear part design that improves the original part’s weight, weight distribution and alloy selection, our cement industry products include wear parts for horizontal shaft impactors, hammermills, ball mills, feeders, valves, roller mills, kilns, coolers, gyratory crushers, cone crushers, jaw crushers.
We also specialize in customized and cost-cutting solutions designed for particular wear challenges.
