Technology

• Tilby Systems incorporates various proprietary technological innovations and processes.

• The technology encompasses whole stalk billeting, billet receiving, detrashing, metering, separation, juice extraction, and downstream value-added processing. 

• The heart of Tilby Systems is the Separator which is capable of processing from 10 to 50 tonnes of sugarcane per hour. Throughputs higher than 50 tph are achieved using multiple systems in tandem.

• Tilby Systems can be adapted to process a variety feedstocks, including sugarcane, sunflower, sweet sorghum, industrial hemp, and kenaf.

• The production of sugar is essentially the same as with conventional sugar factories with the added benefit of higher purity juice plus lower energy, water and maintenance requirements.

• The overall cost of operations is supported by the creation of value-added separated outputs not possible by conventional sugarcane processing. 

• The modular nature of the technology allows for scalability and customization. Depending on the throughput and type of feedstock, value-added processes can be added, removed, or modified.

• Tilby Systems is well-suited for new greenfield projects where establishing efficient and sustainable processing operations from the ground up is essential. Or, it can be added to existing mills by replacing the conventional front-end sugarcane receiving, fiberizing, and crushing sections.
