Lokshakti Sugar Advances High‑Efficiency Manufacturing with SED Equipment Package

On July 21, 2026, in Mohali, India, Lokshakti Sugar & Allied Industries Ltd announced that it has placed multiple orders with Spray Engineering Devices Limited (SED) for a fully integrated suite of sugar‑process technologies. The order comprises a 3500 m² tubular falling‑film evaporator, two 100‑ton honeycomb calandria batch pans equipped with mechanical circulators, a 450‑ton twin vertical crystallizer, a 110‑ton air‑cooled crystallizer and an air ejector.

The falling‑film evaporator is described as a high‑performance system that delivers superior heat‑transfer rates, faster evaporation of heat‑sensitive juice, and a decisive reduction in steam consumption. By providing precise juice distribution, automated process control and exceptional thermal efficiency, the evaporator is intended to raise steam economy, tighten process consistency and protect product quality under demanding operating conditions.

The two honeycomb calandria batch pans are positioned as a key part of SED’s integrated boiling solution. They are engineered for improved circulation, faster crystal growth, superior massecuite handling and consistent crystal quality, while also enhancing heat‑transfer efficiency and lowering power consumption across varying production loads.

To improve crystallisation efficiency and overall sugar recovery, SED will supply a 450‑ton twin vertical crystallizer and a 110‑ton air‑cooled crystallizer. Both systems are designed to deliver controlled cooling, sharper crystal growth and greater process stability, thereby helping Lokshakti Sugar maximise recovery and achieve more consistent plant performance.

The package is completed by an air ejector that provides fast, reliable vacuum generation with low water consumption and minimal maintenance, supporting uninterrupted operation and strengthening overall process efficiency.

Together, these technologies constitute an integrated solution that spans evaporation, boiling, crystallisation and vacuum generation, aimed at delivering higher energy efficiency, better recovery, stronger reliability and improved operating economics for Lokshakti Sugar.

"Patchwork upgrades are no longer enough for sugar mills. Lokshakti Sugar has chosen a bold path — modernization driven by efficiency, reliability, and margin protection," said Mr. Vivek Verma, Managing Director of SED. He added that SED engineers integrated process solutions that reduce energy consumption, improve plant performance and strengthen long‑term competitiveness in an industry where every percentage point of efficiency matters.

SED, a global engineering and technology company with four decades of expertise, provides high‑performance, energy‑efficient solutions for sugar, ethanol, wastewater treatment, evaporation, drying and renewable‑energy industries. Headquartered in Mohali, the firm serves customers in more than 40 countries and has a track record of helping sugar manufacturers improve efficiency, maximise recovery and strengthen profitability.

The press release notes that as competitive pressures intensify, integrated plant modernisation is becoming a business necessity, and Lokshakti Sugar’s investment underscores this shift, reaffirming SED’s role in engineering smarter, more sustainable and future‑ready sugar manufacturing.
