C13B PRODUCTION OF SUCROSE; APPARATUS SPECIALLY ADAPTED THEREFOR (chemically synthesised sugars or sugar derivatives C07H; fermentation or enzyme-using processes for preparing compounds containing saccharide radicals C12P19/00)
Description
C13B covers the industrial production of sucrose from natural sources, primarily sugar cane and sugar beet, including extraction, purification, crystallization, and concentration processes. The classification encompasses specialized apparatus, machinery, and equipment designed for sucrose manufacture, such as diffusers, evaporators, crystallizers, and filtering systems used in sugar refineries. This includes methods for juice extraction, defecation, carbonation, decolorization, and recovery of molasses by-products. C13B excludes general chemical processing equipment not specifically adapted for sucrose production, as well as the production of other sugars or sweeteners covered by related subclasses.
