ABSTRACT:
A diffusion apparatus for use in the extraction of sugar cane juice from "prepared" sugar cane, comprises a lixiviation tank, a diffusion tank containing imbibition water and a conveyor for conveying the sugar cane from the lixiviation tank along a serpentine-like path through the diffusion tank. The diffusion tank has a rear end, a front end, two spaced sides and a base. The diffusion tank includes a plurality of spaced upright partition members which decrease in height in step-fashion from the rear end of the diffusion tank towards the front end thereof. Imbibition water is introduced into the diffusion tank at the rear end thereof and cascades towards the front end of the tank. Sugar cane is conveyed through the diffusion tank on support trays that are carried on chains along the serpentine-like path against the flow of imbibition water in the tank.
