Making molasses from sugarcane

[nzSkitzo]

Wow that is very cool, surprising how much liquid is in there

[ssuuppeerrbbooyy]

that engine sounds very fuel efficient

[jotaxi1369]

Que máquima mais obsoleta, Deus me livre...

[hoppes9]

I really like seeing those old engines actually doing something productive besides popping away at a tractor show. Thanks!

What's Molasses?! Yes, I have NO simple clue.

[tonymac96]

I'm confused...I thought that molasses were residues after extracting the brown sugar...What I see on this video is just the cane juice....This cane juice need to be concentrated (water evaporation)...and then cool to force the crystallization of the sugar.

[mrmaxjr12]

that is so cool :D

How many 100 proof rum would you make from that?

[SniffSnaff99]

wos die shisha ich seh die molasse net...^^

[sarahx87]

in my country this is called air tebu. we drink it fresh after the cane is press. nice to drink with ice in hot weather. but, it will not taste good after couple of hours. so,, after press it in the machine, go grab glass with full of ice.

You're like Molasses moving up a hill... In January! :P

[fordland08]

put this on the back of a tractor, a jubilee i believe is what we use, and hook that up to a horizontal press and you can squeeze up to 160 gallon of juice an hour. Now we just use a 13 Chattanooga press and a Belgium draft horse.

We use this stuff to keep dust off the unpaved roads in Costa Rica

[rolemotube]

LOL... we eat it!

[TheSaint135]

Awesome video, where can I buy some of those molasses?

[redtailwatcher]

how can i get one of these sugar can press from?

[ivici27]

oooooo

[ivici27]

hehhhshhe

[wrf121]

I'll have to agree, that's a slick setup. Someday I hope to find a horizontal powermill to run with my Allis Chalmers G.

[rolemotube]

Good luck

[vallo3838]

This is a great video-and your set-up is

really super.What is the boiling finished

tempurature.vallo3838

[rolemotube]

221 degrees is the boiling point of water. All we are doing is boiling most of the water off,leaving the juice more concentrated.

[100PercentGreen]

Is that a steam engine powering the press?

[rolemotube]

No, It is a Fairbanks Morse 6 HP hit-miss engine. Actually it is a governed engine not a hit-miss. It sttarts on gas & when it warms up you can switch it to kerosene.

[Mari443Garrett]

It sounds like the machine is about to die. lol.

[rolemotube]

Yeah , It was a little flooded to start with.

[vallo3838]

Thank you for the quick answer.vallo3838

[emohatnexa]

Hi,

Where can you get that machine to extract the juice?

Roberto

[rolemotube]

You can find them at old farms and at tractor swap meets.

[willbrown69]

dude sick setup. this is pretty cool

[rolemotube]

Thanks, That dude in the video is the one who designed and built it.

[garycalgary]

thanks for that

[rolemotube]

Your welcome!
