Outstanding • Scotfsbluff's Sacking Station Above, high atop the house, the Scottsbluff Sacking operation begins with the revolving screen removing the lumps from the sugar. The sugar itself moves into the screen by a long spout running from the bins to the building. During inter-campaign, the lumps not passing through the screen will be bagged and stored for re-melting next Campaign. Usually, they will be worked in with melted sugar to raise purity of white pan. At right, another view of the revolving screen, from the end, showing the enclosed drive and housing. It also shows the spout, running at an angle into the screen, and the enclosing conveyor at the bottom to carry away the screened sugar. From the revolving screen, the sugar moves to the sifters, at right. This view shows two of the four Day Roball sifters at Scottsbluff. With their violent agitation, they remove lumps and grains from the sugar and provide the uniform size of crystals so desired by the home-maker and commercial user. The Scottsbluff sacking station works almost continuously the year around. Since last October I, including Campaign operations, the station has turned out some 178,000 bales of 6 I O's and 177,000 bales of 12 S's, plus about 54,000 bags II 00 pounds) of Baker's Special sugar, 41,000 bags of powdered sugar and 16,000 single 25's. 10 • THE SUGAR PRESS S t ations PHOTOS BY JIM LYON Here are the sugar supply bins, directly under the sifters and over the sacking station itself.
