Sugar Remelt Ion Exchange Decolourising Process

Apex Chemicals offer INDION resins for decolourisation of sugar melt. This ion exchange process has synergistic effect with phosflotation and carbonation and operates by passing the pretreated sugar melt through a combination of speciality ion exchange resin columns. On crystallisation the final colour of the sugar is in the range of 20 – 40 ICUMSA units and qualifies as EC Grade 2 sugar. It opens avenues for exports of quality sugar by the sugar industry; and reduces the need for the confectionery, beverage industries to import high quality refined sugar.
