ABSTRACT:
This method is provided for preconditioning lumps of sugar obtained from humidified and agglomerated caster sugar, before these lumps are dried.
The sugar lumps are heated, after moulding, by means of an infra-red heating. The lumps are heated for a very short, but sufficient period of time for a cloud of steam-saturated atmosphere to be constituted around each lump, this cloud forming a barrier against the infra-red radiation and avoiding the rapid drying of the lump, and for the temperature attained by this lump on entering the oven to be higher than the dew point.
